Supporting arthritis and employment across the life course: A qualitative study
ConclusionSimilar workplace resources could meet the employment needs of people with arthritis across the life course. Attention should be paid to young adults and those who are new to their job because they may perceive more barriers to accessing formal workplace resources and be susceptible to work disability.This article is protected by copyright.

Prescribing for Children With Rheumatic Disease: Perceived Treatment Approaches Between Pediatric and Adult Rheumatologists
ConclusionNearly one‐quarter of surveyed ARs care for children with JIA, with most limiting their practice to older children. There was more discomfort in treating JIA than diagnosing it, and there were significant prescribing differences. Both provider types identified the need for better dosing and treatment resources. Updated management guidelines along with exposure to pediatric rheumatology in fellowship could reduce treatment differences and enhance the care of children with JIA. Shared medical records and improvement in reimbursement may optimize co‐management. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)

Association Between Pain Sensitization and Disease Activity in Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross ‐Sectional Study
ConclusionHigh pain sensitization is associated with elevations in disease activity measures. Longitudinal studies are underway to elucidate the cause–effect relationships between pain sensitization and inflammatory disease activity in RA. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)

Tele ‐Health Followup Strategy for Tight Control of Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results of a Randomized Controlled Trial
ConclusionAmong RA patients with low disease activity or remission, a PRO‐based tele‐health followup for tight control of disease activity in RA can achieve similar disease control as conventional outpatient followup. The degree of disease control did not differ between patients seen by rheumatologists or rheumatology nurses. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)

Treatment of chronic chikungunya arthritis with methotrexate: a systematic review
ConclusionThe available studies are limited, but taken together demonstrate sufficient efficacy to justify interest in the treatment of chronic chikungunya arthritis with MTX. The trials lacked rigorous study designs and used different treatment strategies and outcome measures. This systematic review underscores the need for randomized prospective, placebo‐controlled studies of MTX monotherapy in the treatment of chronic chikungunya arthritis.This article is protected by copyright.

Structured goal planning and supportive telephone followup in rheumatology care: results from a pragmatic stepped ‐wedge cluster‐randomized trial
ConclusionThe add‐on program enhanced the short‐term effect of rehabilitation with respect to patient‐specific HR‐QoL, but it did not prolong the effect as intended.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)

Association Between Inflammatory Back Pain Characteristics and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Findings in the Spine and Sacroiliac Joints
ConclusionThe identified associations between inflammatory MRI findings and pain characteristics indicate that axial inflammation to some degree induces a specific pain pattern. Thus, the results add to knowledge of axial inflammatory processes. However, all identified associations were weak, which compromises the use of IBP as a marker of axial inflammation.

Septic Arthritis in Emergency Departments in the US: A National Study of Health Care Utilization and Time Trends
ConclusionComorbidities were associated with a higher risk of hospitalization after an ED visit for septic arthritis, but not higher ED charges. No time trends in ED visit incidence, ED charges, or hospitalization rate for septic arthritis from 2009–2012 were noted. (Source: Arthritis Care and Research)
