Results We included 96 patients (87.5% female) with RA with a mean age of 56.1卤12.7 years and a mean disease duration of 14.3卤8.5 years. RF and/or antiCCP2 were positive in 82.6% of the patients, 71.9% received concomitant therapy with DMARDs and 29.2% had received one or more ...
OBJECTIVE: To analyse tender and swollen joint counts in three cohorts of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), with a focus on the proportions of patients who had fewer than 6-12 tender or swollen joints, as possible evidence based information toward more generalisable inclusion criteria for ...
The NNT is the average number of patients needed to be treated for a duration equal to the study period to achieve one additional positive response under the conditions of the study. The more the treatment will be effective, the more the NNT will be low (tending towards 1). The NNT ...
For any trial which has reported a binary outcome, the number needed to treat can be obtained as the reciprocal of the absolute difference in proportions of patients with the outcome of interest. In studies where the outcome of interest is the time to an event, calculations can be extended ...
We hypothesised that disease activity/severity and physical activity are major predictors for the need of hospitalisation in patients with RA. Methods A total of 244 RA patients were assessed for: physical activity (International Physical Activity Questionnaire), RA activity (C-reactive protein: CRP;...

Visfatin, also known as pre-B cell colony-enhancing factor, was recently characterized as a potent pro-inflammatory mediator in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this study was to determine the effect of B cell depletion with rituximab on serum visfatin levels in patients with active RA. ...
