Shedding some light on tricuspid intervention

2021

Background More than 1.6 million Americans have at least moderate to severe valvular tricuspid regurgitation, yet fewer than 8000 tricuspid valve operations are performed annually in the USA. The undertreatment for isolated tricuspid regurgitation might be related to the fact that in the past years no clear guidelines on 'how' and 'when' to treat tricuspid regurgitation were issued. Aims Sarris-Michopoulos and colleagues carried out a meta-analysis with the aim to investigate the role of tricuspid valve repair versus tricuspid valve replacement in patients with isolated tricuspid valve regurgitation. Material and methods Outcomes of patients with first-time surgery for isolated tricuspid va…

A real life comparison of the effectiveness of adalimumab and golimumab in moderate-to-severe ulcerative colitis, supported by propensity score analy…

2018

Abstract Background Adalimumab and golimumab are effective in the treatment of moderate to severe ulcerative colitis. Aims We reported the comparative effectiveness of adalimumab and golimumab in ulcerative colitis. Methods 118 patients treated with adalimumab and 79 treated with golimumab were included and evaluated at 8 weeks and at the end of follow up. Results Overall clinical benefit was 72.6% at 8 weeks and 58.9% at the end of follow up. Patients with longer disease duration and those treated with adalimumab had a better outcome. Clinical benefit was 78.8% in adalimumab patients and 63.3% in golimumab patients (p = 0.026) after 8 weeks; it was 66.9% in adalimumab patients and 46.8% in…

AB0465 Etanercept therapy in rheumatoid arthritis patients with moderate or severe disease activity

2013

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is conventionally defined as moderate when the disease activity score assessed in 28 joints (DAS28) is ≥3.2, and high disease with DAS28 >5.1 Objectives Aim of this analysis was to evaluate the rate of remission and LDA (low disease activity), in RA patients starting etanercept therapy with moderate disease activity in the real world settings Methods The clinical records were retrospectively analysed from the Italian nationwide registry, called GISEA (Gruppo Italiano Studio Early Arthritis). RA patients with moderate (Mod-RA) and high (H-RA) disease activity (DAS28 >3.2) with incomplete response to conventional DMARDs and beginning a treatment with etane…
