Full textIntroduktion: Reumatoid artrit (RA) är en kronisk inflammatorisk sjukdom. Dagens behandlingsstrategi bygger på tidiga multiprofessionella insatser för att reducera sjukdomsaktivitet och minska risken för framtida funktionshinder. Idag finns stora datamängder tillgängliga gällande medicinering och utfall vid RA. Dessa data erbjuder möjligheter att generera ny kunskap som kan användas för att forma beslutsstöd. Syfte: Att undersöka hur olika kliniska manifestationer vid tidig RA samvarierar med funktionshinder och sjukdomsaktivitet, att pröva metoder att ställa prognos vid tidig RA, och att analysera en kontext för beslutsfattande inom vård av kroniskt sjuka. Metod: Multivariat statistik och matematisk modellering, samt observationsstudier och fokusgruppsintervjuer. Resultat: Beslutsstöd: Ett beslutsträd utformades för att bestämma vilka patienter som har dålig prognos (måttlig eller hög DAS-28) ett år efter diagnos. Beslutsträdet hade 25 % sensitivitet, 90 % specificitet och ett positivt prediktivt värde på 76 %. Vid införande av beslutsstöd på en reumatologisk klinik befanns det nödvändigt att hänsyn tas till incitamentsstrukturer, arbetsflöde och samarbetsformer. Informella kommunikationsstrukturer kan också ha stort inflytande på klinisk praxis. Prognos: En betydande del av variansen i sjukdomsaktivitet ett år efter diagnos kan förklaras av sjukdomsprogression första tre månaderna efter diagnos. Att formalisera olika experters erfarenheter före standardiserade ”data mining” metoder är en lovande ansats när man letar efter mönster i (kliniska) databaser. Funktionshinder och sjukdomsaktivitet: Kvinnor rapporterar mer trötthet än män vid tidig RA, men skillnaden är inte konsistent över tid. Trötthet vid tidig RA är nära relaterat till sjukdomsaktivitet, smärta och aktivitets begränsningar, men också till mental hälsa och sömnstörningar. Slutsats: Ett beslutsträd har utformats för att predicera patienter med dålig prognos inom tidig RA. Studier av fler mått på sjukdoms- och funktionshindersprogression behövs vid konstruktion av prediktionsregler för god eller dålig prognos framledes. Att använda sig av kunskap från olika experter – olika experters glasögon – vid sökandet efter mönster i stora datamängder för att generera ny kunskap är en lovande metodik. Implementering av beslutsstöd bör göras under övervägande av incitamentsstrukturer, arbetsflöde och samarbetsformer.

Full textThe earlier studies proved that nearly 70% of children with chronic arthritis reach the adulthood with a certain level of disability and restriction of daily activities. Therefore, it is very important to analyse the causes of arthritis and prognostic factors in the early stages of disease. The aim of our study was to determine whether the changes of laboratory, immunological and interleukins (MRP8/14 (calprotectin), IL-6, IL-33) indexes, assessment of functional condition, and disease activity may predict a chronic arthritis in children. The study showed that MRP8/14 (calprotectin) and Il-6 concentrations in the serum and synovial fluid of children with arthritis were significantly higher than in the control group of healthychildren (p<0.01). During the acute stage of disease, calprotectin and IL-6 concentrations strongly correlated with variables of disease activity (ESR, CRP, polyarthritis, morning stiffness of joints). Also, the analysis showed that high concentrations of calprotectin (> 5785ng/ml) and IL-6 (> 5.5 pg/ml) at the acute stage of arthritis were determined for those patients, whose were developed chronic arthritis. It was evaluated as significant criterion of the chronic joint disease. For the first time in Lithuania, the functional ability and the quality of life in children with arthritis were assessed using a newly introduced multidimensional assessment questionnaire for juvenile arthritis (JAMAR), and data was compared...

Full textTo model the evolution of chikungunya virus (CHIK) infection, its impact and the prognostic factors of post-CHIK rheumatism and quality of life, we worked in three parts. The long-term impact of the 2005-2006 CHIK outbreaks in Reunion Island was estimated by calculating the proportion of chronic patients over time and the global burden of CHIK using the Disability Adjusted Life Years (DALY) method. This method sums the years of life lost due to premature mortality and the years lived with disability. Between 51.2 and 65.3% of patients were estimated chronic after 1 year and 0%-15.2% after 5 years. The global disease burden of CHIK was estimated 65-73 DALYs/1000 persons, 55.5% concerning the active population (20-60 years old), and 86% due to persistence of post-CHIK rheumatisms. Prognostic factors of the long-term (30 months) rheumatisms and impaired quality of life (QoL) were studied in a cohort of French army policemen (25% CHIK infected: CHIK+). Being CHIK+, suffering of comorbidity and having depressed mood during the acute stage were predictive for both persistent arthritis and arthralgias at 30 months. In addition, suffering of either arthralgias or arthritis at six months was predictive of the same symptoms at 30 months. Determinants of impaired QoL were CHIK infection and comorbidity, in addition to older age, work-stoppage during the acute infection and arthritis at 6 months for the QoL physical component, and depressed mood at 6 months for the mental health component.Association between the severity of initial CHIK-stages and recovery were studied using multiple correspondence analysis (MCA)

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology that primarily targets synovial tissues. In clinical practice, initial treatments are usually chosen according to the degree of disease activity at baseline, and adapted according to a step-up strategy. This study attempts to the professionals opinion combined with data mining techniques, namely logistic regression model, decision tree and support vector machines to analyzing for all rheumatoid arthritis patients which has no classified by medication to predicting with or without complications, and respectively analyzing for rheumatoid arthritis and rheumatoid arthritis accompanied complications(cardiovascular diseases, hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis and end-stage renal disease) of patients which has classified by medication to predicting ESR whether to reach normal. The obtained data were analyzed to construct different classification, by compare classification prediction accuracy rate to selecting the best performance prediction mode, to predicting the prognosis of rheumatoid arthritis and analysis of the results. In this study, data mining technique combined with the professional opinion in order to propose the best therapeutic strategy for patients.

The rehabilitation of the afflicted patient is the central concern of medical and para-medical personnel engaged in rheumatology. The patient's motivation for rehabilitation is generally considered to be the single most important factor affecting the rehabilitation process. The task of assessing this motivation falls to the psychologist...
