E041 Feasibility and acceptability of electronic patient reported outcome measures in the routine care of people with inflammatory arthritis: Haywood Arthritis Portal study (2024)
Presentation / Conference

Background/Aims Electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROMs) assessing disease activity, function, pain, and quality of life can facilitate innovative inflammatory arthritis (IA) care, such as automating patient-initiated follow-up. This mix...

P045 Google Internet Searches Related to Inflammatory Arthritis: an Observational Study Using Google Trends Data (2024)
Presentation / Conference

Background/Aims Inflammatory arthritis (IA) care involves a paradox. Rheumatologists focus on reducing disease activity through treat-to-target (T2T). But surveys/qualitative studies show patients’ main concern is pain. As these studies include a min...

Analgesic Prescribing in Patients with Inflammatory Arthritis in England: Observational Studies in the Clinical Practice Research Datalink (2023)
Journal Article

Despite little evidence that analgesics are effective in inflammatory arthritis (IA), studies report substantial opioid prescribing. The extent this applies to other analgesics is uncertain. We undertook a comprehensive evaluation of analgesic prescr...

Heterogeneity of treatment responses in rheumatoid arthritis using group based trajectory models: secondary analysis of clinical trial data (2023)
Journal Article

Background: Traditionally rheumatoid arthritis (RA) trials classify patients as responders and non-responders; they ignore the potential range of treatment responses. Group Based Trajectory Models (GBTMs) provide a more refined approach. They identif...

The relationship between pain and depression and anxiety in patients with inflammatory arthritis: a systematic review protocol (2023)
Journal Article

Pain is a major challenge for patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA). Depression and anxiety are common comorbidities in IA, associating with worse outcomes. How they relate to pain is uncertain, with existing systematic reviews (a) mainly conside...

P098 Changes in Analgesic Prescribing in Patients with Inflammatory Arthritis in England: An Observational Study in CPRD Aurum (2023)
Presentation / Conference

Background/Aims Pain is a common symptom experienced by patients with inflammatory arthritis (IA). Emerging data indicate IA pain treatment focuses on prescribing analgesics despite an absence of evidence for long-term efficacy. Delivering optimal,...

Digital exclusion as a potential cause of inequalities in access to care: a survey in people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (2023)
Journal Article

Objectives: COVID-19 led to rapid uptake of digital healthcare. We sought to examine digital access, health and digital literacy, and impact on confidence and satisfaction with remote consultations in people with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRDs...

Rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis epidemiology in England from 2004 to 2020: An observational study using primary care electronic health record data (2022)
Journal Article

Background: Contemporary data on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and axial spondyloarthritis (SpA) epidemiology in England are lacking. This knowledge is crucial to planning healthcare services. We updated algorithms defining pat...
