Excerpt

We thank Ferjani HL et al. for their interest in our article “Hip involvement in children with enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) is associated with poor outcomes in adulthood.” Hip involvement, axial involvement, and HLA-B27 positivity were the major predictors of poor long-term outcomes in adulthood [1]. We also observe in our clinic that early intra-articular hip injection with glucocorticoids within 3 months of symptom onset delays or prevents the hip disease from progressing. This is similar to data with IA injection of other peripheral joints [2, 3]. It would be a good practice to educate the patients for red flag signs of early hip involvement apart from uveitis which is usually told to the patient. …

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
