THU0598 Course and Predictors of Pain and Physical Functioning in Patients with HIP Osteoarthritis: Systematic Review
2015
Background Knowledge of risk factors of future pain and physical functioning can be used to inform patients with hip osteoarthritis (OA) on the likely course of their condition and to adapt treatment according to the prognosis. Objectives To systematically summarise the literature on (1) the course of pain and physical functioning and on (2) prognostic factors of future pain and physical functioning in patients with OA of the hip. Methods A search was conducted in PubMed, CINAHL, Embase, Psych-INFO, and SPORTDiscus up to January 2014. Relevant study characteristics were reviewed. Studies were scored for their quality and a qualitative data synthesis was performed. Results Of the twelve incl…
FRI0056 Joint damage in patients with rheumatoid arthritis over 15-20 years – are there differences between women and men?
2013
Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is suggested to be a more severe disease in women than in men as disease activity appears higher in women and men meet remission criteria more often than women do. Long-term severity of RA can be analyzed from permanent joint damage in radiographs. Objectives To study possible differences in the extent of radiographic joint damage between women and men in four early RA cohorts with 15 or more years of prospective follow-up. Methods Early RA cohorts with prospective longitudinal observations include following cohorts: Jyvaskyla Central Hospital with 70 patients from 1990’s (JYV1990) and 135 patients from the 1980’s (JYV1980), Lund University Hospital with…
POS1021 THE PsABio STUDY IN ITALY: A REAL-WORLD COMPARISON OF THE PERSISTENCE, EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF USTEKINUMAB AND TUMOUR NECROSIS FACTOR INH…
2021
Background:There are still unmet needs in the treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), including in terms of treatment persistence, which is a function of effectiveness, safety and patient satisfaction. Ustekinumab (UST) was the first new biologic drug to be developed for the treatment of PsA after tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi).Objectives:To compare treatment persistence, effectiveness and safety of UST and TNFi in Italian patients within the PsABio cohort.Methods:PsABio (NCT02627768) is an observational study of 1st/2nd/3rd-line UST or TNFi treatment in PsA in 8 European countries. The current analysis set includes 222 eligible patients treated in 15 Italian centres, followed to …
237 Selected global health assessment tools significantly predict postoperative clinical outcome in elderly patients with ovarian cancer
2021
Introduction/Background* This study evaluated the impact of the global health status on the rate of postoperative clinical complications in patients with ovarian cancer (OC) older than 60 years. Methodology Selected global health status assessment tools were retrospectively determined in a cohort of OC patients older than 60 years, treated at our institution between 2008 and 2019. The primary outcome was the incidence and type of postoperative clinical complications in accordance with the Veteran Affairs’ National Surgical Quality Improvement Program (NSQIP). Differences in binary and ordinal variables between independent groups were analyzed by the chi-square test. Furthermore, rank correl…
Cardiovascular risk and liver transplantation in HIV patients. Are HIV infected liver transplant recipients at higher risk?
2021
Abstract Background Cardiovascular (CV) diseases are currently one of the main causes of morbimortality in HIV-infected patients. Similarly, LT recipients have increased prevalence of CV risk factors. Our aim was to assess whether HIV infected LT patients have an increased prevalence of CV risk factors and events (CVE) as compared to non-HIV LT patients. Methods We included LT recipients from 2004 to 2016 from a single center. HIV-infected patients were matched to 2 non-HIV controls each by sex, liver disease etiology, and date of LT. Results A total of 138 LT recipients were included (46 HIV-infected and 92 HIV-uninfected). HCV was the main etiology (85% of HIV-infected and 83% of HIV-unin…
Diffusionsgewichtetes MRT bei vertebrobasil�ren Isch�mien
2004
The aim of this study was to evaluate the applicability, sensitivity, and predictive power of diffusion-weighted MR imaging (DWI) in the diagnosis of vertebrobasilar infarction. From 1997 to 2002, we prospectively recruited 268 patients with acute signs and symptoms suspective of vertebrobasilar ischemia. The patients underwent biplanar EPI-T2 and EPI DWI within 24 h after onset of symptoms and high-resolution MRI as a control within 7 days. One hundred twenty-one patients had additional CT scanning. The DWI revealed acute vertebrobasilar infarction in 71.0%. The mean time exposure of DWI was 8 min and thus no more than that of CT imaging. It showed significantly more acute lesions than CT …
Association between elastic and muscular artery stiffness and organ dysfunction in patients with early severe sepsis
2015
Sepsis is characterised by massive inflammatory response, which can affect vascular function. As part of vascular dysfunction large arteries can be affected. To what extent changes in large artery function contribute to organ dysfunction in sepsis is not well studied.

P5017Factors associated with a negative D-dimer test in patients diagnosed with acute symptomatic pulmonary embolism
2019
Abstract Background The recommended diagnostic strategy for suspected acute pulmonary embolism (PE) combines the assessment of pre-test probability, D-dimer level, and -if indicated- computed tomography pulmonary angiography. Purpose To evaluate the frequency and potential explanations for negative D-dimer tests in patients diagnosed with acute PE. Methods The multicentre Follow-up of Acute Pulmonary Embolism (FOCUS) cohort study prospectively enrolled 1,100 consecutive patients diagnosed with acute symptomatic PE; two-year follow-up is ongoing. The items of the Simplified revised Geneva Score and the D-dimer levels at diagnosis have been prospectively collected, but they did not necessaril…
