Self-reported pain interference and symptoms of anxiety and depression in community-dwelling older adults: Can a temporal relationship be determined? (2010)
Journal Article

Pain and symptoms of depression and anxiety have been observed to co-exist in the community-dwelling elderly. While depression and pain have been suggested to be predictive of one another temporally, the longitudinal associations between anxiety and...

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) should be treated with DMARDs in its earliest stages to reduce the likelihood of permanent joint damage and disability1. This therapeutic window is often missed. One important cause is delayed help seeking by pati... Read More about THU0650 Early help seeking or self-management: a quantitative assessment in the context of rheumatoid arthritis.

042 Challenges Faced in Primary Care During the Early Stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Survey of General Practitioners
Presentation / Conference
Mangat, N. S., Raza, K., Clarkson, K., Stack, R., Mallen, C., Belcher, J., & Hider, S. 042 Challenges Faced in Primary Care During the Early Stages of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Cross-Sectional Survey of General Practitioners. Poster presented at Rheumatology 2016

Background: Early treatment can reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with RA. However, identifying early RA can be challenging, in part because many of its initial symptoms are non-specific. Delays in recognising RA and referral to secondary ca...
