Hand bone densitometry: a more sensitive standard for the assessment of early bone damage in rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVE To examine the role of hand dual-energy x ray absorptiometry (DEXA) compared with radiography in the assessment of bone involvement in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have active disease. METHODS The study population (n = 79) had RA of <12 months' duration and were selected for poor prognostic features. Clinical data and bone mineral density (BMD) data were collect...
متن کامل[Magnetic resonance of the hand in rheumatoid arthritis. Review of methodology, and its use in diagnosis, monitoring and prognosis].
The ideal aim of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is to suppress synovial inflammation and to stop or reduce structural joint damage progression. To evaluate joint damage in RA, radiographic assessment of hands and feet is the traditional method. Nevertheless, plain film radiography can only evaluate bone damage (erosion) and, indirectly, joint cartilage. Magnetic resonance imaging presen...

متن کاملAdalimumab therapy reduces hand bone loss in early rheumatoid arthritis: explorative analyses from the PREMIER study
OBJECTIVE The effect of adalimumab on hand osteoporosis was examined and related to radiographic joint damage in the three treatment arms of the PREMIER study: adalimumab plus methotrexate, adalimumab and methotrexate monotherapy. Predictors of hand bone loss were also searched for. METHODS 768 patients (537 fulfilled 2 years) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) for less than 3 years, never treate...
متن کاملDoes digital X-ray radiogrammetry have a role in identifying patients at increased risk for joint destruction in early rheumatoid arthritis?
INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the role of hand bone mineral density (BMD) loss analyzed with digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as a predictor for progression of joint damage. METHODS In 379 patients with early RA, baseline and one-year hand BMD was measured with DXR and the hand bone loss (HBL) was analyzed using the smallest detecta...
