Pattern of comorbidities and 1-year mortality in elderly patients with COPD hospitalized in internal medicine wards: data from the RePoSI Registry

Christiano Argano et al.

Summary: This observational study analyzed comorbidities and outcomes in hospitalized elderly patients with a clinical diagnosis of COPD, showing that COPD patients had more cognitive impairment, disability, and depression. Cerebrovascular disease, male sex, hepatic cirrhosis, and ICS-LABA therapy were found to be associated with mortality in different time periods.

The Key Comorbidities in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Narrative Review

Peter C. Taylor et al.

Summary: Comorbidities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis are often associated with poor health outcomes and increased mortality. It is important to balance potential treatment benefits against the risks of comorbidities and consider prevention or treatment of comorbidities as part of the overall management of RA. As newer therapies are developed and patients gain access to advanced treatments, including biosimilars, there is a need to explore the impact of comorbidities on patient outcomes and the interplay with therapeutic options.

Physical activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis-an agile lifelong behaviour: a qualitative meta-synthesis

Emma Swardh et al.

Summary: Physical activity (PA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is considered a lifelong behavior influenced by the disease. Patients perceive the impact of the disease on their health and engage in PA by increasing awareness, enhancing body awareness, and seeking social support. This meta-synthesis provides insights for tailoring PA support to individual drivers and determinants in clinical practice, benefiting both health professionals and RA patients.

The effect of physical exercise on rheumatoid arthritis: An overview of systematic reviews and meta-analysis

Huiling Hu et al.

Summary: This study addressed which outcomes will be improved by different exercise interventions and evaluated the evidence quality for each intervention. The results showed significant improvement in different symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with different exercise methods. For RA patients, any exercise is better than no exercise, but the intensity, frequency, and period of exercise for better results are yet to be determined.

Pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapeutic strategies in difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis: a systematic literature review informing the EULAR recommendations for the management of difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis

Nadia M. T. Roodenrijs et al.

Summary: This systematic literature review highlights the lack of high-quality evidence on the treatment of patients with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis. The effectiveness of biologic/targeted synthetic DMARDs decreased in patients who had failed multiple previous treatments, but non-pharmacological interventions showed potential for improving non-inflammatory complaints and self-management.
