Characteristics of patients with axial spondyloarthritis by geographic regions: PROOF multicountry observational study baseline results

Denis Poddubnyy et al.

Summary: The study compared demographic and clinical characteristics of patients with axial SpA across different geographic regions and found significant differences in peripheral and extramusculoskeletal manifestations of SpA among these regions, which could have implications for management guidelines and clinical trials.

2022 EULAR points to consider for remote care in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases

Annette de Thurah et al.

Summary: This study aims to develop EULAR points to consider for telehealth in the clinical care of people with RMD. Based on a systematic literature review and discussions among a multidisciplinary team, four overarching principles and nine points to consider were formulated. Telehealth can be tailored to patient's needs and preferences and has the potential to improve screening, monitoring, and medication regulation in RMD.

Summary: Remote care shows similar or better results compared to face-to-face treatment in terms of efficacy, safety, adherence, and user perception outcomes. However, available studies suffer from heterogeneity in outcomes and methods, as well as a substantial risk of bias.

Machine learning-based improvement of an online rheumatology referral and triage system

Johannes Knitza et al.

Summary: A national rheumatology registry (RHADAR) data set of 2265 patients was used to train and test nine different ML models to classify IRD patients. ML models outperformed the current algorithm in terms of diagnostic accuracy, with AUROC ranging between 0.630 and 0.737. Important features for IRD classification included finger joint pain, inflammatory marker levels, psoriasis, symptom duration, and female sex.

Assessment of Clinician Diagnostic Concordance With Video Telemedicine in the Integrated Multispecialty Practice at Mayo Clinic During the Beginning of COVID-19 Pandemic From March to June 2020

Bart M. Demaerschalk et al.

Summary: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a shift in patient volume from in-person visits to video telemedicine visits. This diagnostic study found a high degree of diagnostic concordance between video telemedicine visits and in-person visits for most new clinical concerns. However, certain specific clinical situations may have lower diagnostic concordance over video telemedicine, and these patients may benefit from timely in-person follow-up.

Remote self-collection of capillary blood using upper arm devices for autoantibody analysis in patients with immune-mediated inflammatory rheumatic diseases

At-home blood self-sampling in rheumatology: a qualitative study with patients and health care professionals

Felix Muehlensiepen et al.

Summary: The goal of this study is to investigate the experiences and preferences of patients with systemic rheumatic diseases and healthcare professionals regarding self-sampling of capillary blood in rheumatology care. The findings suggest that self-sampling has advantages such as easy application, time and cost savings, increased independence and flexibility, and reduced risk of infection during Covid-19. However, there are also limitations such as limited blood volume, limited usability in case of functional restrictions, and environmental concerns. Certain patient groups, such as older and immobile patients, as well as young patients with limited time, are likely to benefit from self-sampling services.

Comparison of physician and artificial intelligence-based symptom checker diagnostic accuracy

Markus Graef et al.

Summary: This study compared the accuracy of an AI-based symptom checker (Ada) to physicians in diagnosing inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD). The study found that Ada had higher diagnostic accuracy compared to physicians when considering basic health and symptom-related medical history. These results highlight the potential of using symptom checkers early in the patient journey and the importance of complete patient information for accurate diagnosis.

Accuracy and tolerability of self-sampling of capillary blood for analysis of inflammation and autoantibodies in rheumatoid arthritis patients-results from a randomized controlled trial

Johannes Knitza et al.

Summary: This study demonstrates that self-sampling of blood is accurate and feasible for RA patients. The majority of patients were able to collect blood samples successfully without assistance, allowing for close monitoring of RA disease activity and identification of individuals at-risk for RA. RA patients seem to prefer upper arm-based self-sampling to traditional finger pricking.

Identifying parameters associated with delayed diagnosis in axial spondyloarthritis: data from the European map of axial spondyloarthritis

Marco Garrido-Cumbrera et al.

Summary: The average diagnostic delay (DD) in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients in Europe was found to be over 7 years. Factors associated with a longer DD included younger age at symptom onset, female gender, seeing a higher number of health-care professionals before diagnosis, and being diagnosed by a rheumatologist. This suggests a need for improved recognition of axSpA by non-rheumatology specialists and timely referral to rheumatologists.

Diagnostic delay in axial spondyloarthritis - a past or current problem?

Denis Poddubnyy et al.

Summary: Although axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) can now be diagnosed within the first months after symptom onset, diagnostic delay remains significantly high in many parts of the world. Factors such as female gender, HLA-B27 negativity, and younger age at disease onset are associated with delayed referral to a rheumatologist and larger diagnostic delay. Early referral algorithms can help identify patients with a high probability of axSpA among those with chronic back pain, and careful diagnostic evaluation with correct imaging interpretation is necessary to avoid misdiagnosis of axSpA.

Accuracy and usability of a diagnostic decision support system in the diagnosis of three representative rheumatic diseases: a randomized controlled trial among medical students

Johannes Knitza et al.

Summary: The study compared the diagnostic accuracy of medical students using DDSS with that of traditional diagnostic methods in three rheumatic case vignettes. Results showed that medical students performed better than DDSS, indicating that the usage of DDSS did not significantly improve diagnostic accuracy. Time-consuming and potentially misleading aspects of DDSS usage were also noted.

Summary: This study evaluated the diagnostic accuracy, patient-perceived usability, and acceptance of two symptom checkers, Ada and Rheport, in the management of inflammatory rheumatic diseases. While the patient acceptance of the symptom checkers was high, their diagnostic accuracy for IRDs was found to be limited.
