Psoriatic arthritis: improvement in outcomes but persistent sex difference - 5-year follow-up study of a Norwegian outpatient clinic population
CONCLUSION: This study adds evidence supporting recent improvements in PsA outcomes. Women had higher disease activity and were less likely to achieve remission than men. Despite progress in achieving remission goals, there is still room for improvement in therapeutic approaches for PsA patients.PMID:37656147 | DOI:10.1080/03009742.2023.2247703 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology)

A trial-based economic evaluation of the CaFaSpA referral strategy for axial spondyloarthritis
CONCLUSIONS: Digital referral did not decrease the overall healthcare status of patients after 1 year of follow-up and appears to be more cost-effective than UC. Therefore, CS can be used as an appropriate primary care referral model for CLBP patients at risk for axSpA. This will accelerate timely provision of care by the right caregiver.PMID:37650240 | DOI:10.1080/03009742.2023.2243081 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology)

Total iron binding capacity: an independent predictor of prognosis for pulmonary arterial hypertension in systemic lupus erythematosus
CONCLUSION: SI was negatively correlated with WHO-FC, and positively correlated with 6MWD and TAPSE. Furthermore, TIBC was associated with improved outcomes of patients with SLE-PAH, which could be an independent predictor of prognosis. Further research is needed to verify the findings.PMID:37605880 | DOI:10.1080/03009742.2023.2240586 (Source: Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology)
