“…According to the Malaysian National Inflammatory Arthritis Registry, incidence is approximately double in female: 70% of RA patients are females. A study in the French West Indies has reported that the incidence of RA increases with age until around the eighth decade of life and declines thereafter 5…”

BackgroundRheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are at risk of acquiring drug-related problems (DRPs). However, there has been a lack of studies on DRPs in patients with RA up to now.MethodThis retrospective study was conducted in a tertiary hospital in Malaysia from January 2012 to December 2017 with the purpose of assessing DRPs in RA patients and factors associated with its occurrence. A total of 200 patients who had received pharmacological treatment for RA were enrolled in this study. Assessment of DRPs was based on the Pharmaceutical Network Care Europe tool version 5.01.ResultsA total of 289 DRPs with an average of 1.5±1.0 problems per patient were identified, in which 78.5% of the population had at least one DRP. The most common DRPs encountered were adverse reactions (38.8%), drug interactions (33.6%), and drug-choice problems (14.5%). Factors that had significant association with the occurrence of DRPs were polypharmacy (P=0.003), multiple comorbidities (P=0.001), hyperlipidemia (P=0.009), osteo (P=0.040), and renal impairment (P=0.044). These data indicated that the prevalence of DRPs was high among RA patients.ConclusionEarly identification of types of DRPs and associated factors may enhance the prevention and management of RA.

“…Although estimates of the global RA prevalence are about 1%, this overall rate may be influenced by the higher prevalence found in US and UK studies 8 . It seems that RA occurrence varies among countries and regions of the world, with higher prevalence in Latin American countries with 1.25% 9 , and lower prevalence in Southern European countries 8 and the French Antilles (Martinique) 10 . No studies evaluating the prevalence of RA in South America were found.…”

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is among the most prevalent chronic autoimmune and inflammatory diseases worldwide. The aim of this study was to establish a pooled estimate of the RA prevalence in South America by means of a meta-analysis of the available epidemiologic studies. Systematic searches in PubMed, Lilacs, SciELO, Scopus, and Web of Science databases (updated May 2019) were done followed by a systematic grey literature search to identify original research articles and reports, published after 2000, providing data of RA prevalence in any South American country. Proportion meta-analysis of weighted pooled was performed, with between-trial heterogeneity assessed by the inconsistency relative index. Sensitivity analyses and sub-group analyses were also done. A total of 25 articles, representing 27 population-based studies were included. Pooled prevalence of RA resulted in 0.48% with 591,981 cases in a population of 114,537,812 individuals (I2=99%). Brazil and Colombia presented the lowest rates of RA prevalence 0.22%, and 0.24%, respectively. RA prevalence in indigenous population was higher 1.45%, and studies using COPCORD method reported also the highest rates 1.07%.

“…La corticothérapie constitue un des traitements de la polyarthrite rhumatoïde mais une contre-indication peut exister en cas d'hémoglobinopathie notamment la drépanocytose où elle peut aggraver ou favoriser des nécroses osseuses [3]. Le traitement symptomatique des patients reste donc avant tout l'utilisation des antiinflammatoires non stéroïdiens et des antalgiques [4]. L'objectif de cette étude est de rapporter une polyarthrite rhumatoïde masquée par une maladie drépanocytaire.…”

Introduction. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) with a prevalence of 0.3 to 1% in the adult population is a chronic systemic inflammatory disease characterized by proliferative synovitis (pannus) leading to osteocartilaginous destruction leading to joint deformities . Th e aim of this study is to report a case of rheumatoid arthritis masked by sickle-cell disease. Observation. This is a 38 years-old patient with known sickle-cell disease who had consulted for polyarticular pain and lameness. In clinical and paraclinical studies, the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis was made in accordance with the ACR / EULAR 2010 criteria for sickle-cell disease confirmed by hemoglobin electrophoresis. Conclusion. Rheumatoid arthritis is a common connective tissue disease in women. Its association with sickle-cell disease is rare and can be a source of error or delay in diagnosis. The frequency of urinary tract infection during pregnancy that remains the highest in our midst and bacterial epidemiology re mains dominanated by enterobactereriaceae. Antibiotic resistance is high especialy for penicillin G and cephalosporins of the third generation.
