WOS: 000435672000003, PubMed ID: 30207568, Objectives: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) in Turkey using the same telephone questionnaire developed for screening RA and SpA in France and used in Serbia and Lithuania. Material and methods: The study was performed in two steps. In step I, the French questionnaire was translated into Turkish and validated through a group of 200 patients (80 males, 120 females; mean age 44.0 +/- 13.1 years; range, 19 to 75 years) followed up at the rheumatology departments of University Hospitals in Antalya and Ankara. In step II, the validated Turkish questionnaire was administered face-to-face to randomly selected 4,012 subjects (1,670 males, 2,342 females; mean age 41.5 +/- 16.8 years; range, 16 to 97 years) by trained general practitioners across the country, in 25 provinces for case detection. The subjects who were suspected of having RA or SpA in accordance with the questionnaire were invited to the nearest university hospital for rheumatologic examination in order to confirm the diagnosis. Results: In step II, a total of 25 subjects (2 males, 23 females) were diagnosed as RA. The standardized RA prevalence for the general population of Turkey was calculated as 0.56% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.33-0.79), 0.10% (95% CI; -0.05-0.25) for males and 0.89% (95% CI; 0.51-1.27) for females. A total of 18 subjects (3 males, 15 females) were diagnosed as SpA. The standardized SpA prevalence for the general population of Turkey was 0.46% (95% CI; 0.25-0.67), 0.17% (95% CI; -0.03-0.37) for males and 0.65% (95% CI; 0.32-0.98) for females. The prevalence of RA was highest in the Northern region (2.00%) and the prevalence of SpA was highest in the Central region (1.49%). Conclusion: The prevalences of RA and SpA in Turkey are close to each other and there are significant inter-regional variations in prevalences of both RA and SpA., Sanofi Health Products Company, Turkey, This survey was supported with an unconditional Grant to Turkish League Against Rheumatism from Sanofi Health Products Company (former Aventis), Turkey. The secretary expenses was covered by EULAR Standing Committee on Epidemiology and Health Services Research.

Oylama yapılarak önerilerin güçlülük düzeyi bir nümerik derecelendirme skalası ile belirlendi.Bulgular: on iki öneri hasta değerlendirilmesini, hasta takibini ve farmakolojik ve non-farmakolojik yöntemleri içermektedir. ASAS/EULAR önerilerine bazı ilaveler ve önerilerde bazı küçük değişiklikler yapılmıştır. Tüm öneriler yeterli kuvvete sahipti.Sonuç: Bilimsel kanıtlar ve uzmanların görüş birliği ile AS tedavisine yönelik ulusal öneriler oluşturulmuştur. Bu öneriler, yeni gelişmeler doğrultusunda düzenli olarak güncellenmelidir, Objectives: To develop Turkish League Against Rheumatism (TLAR) National Recommendations for the management of ankylosing spondylitis (AS). Materials and methods: A scientific committee of 25 experts consisting of six rheumatologists and 19 physical medicine and rehabilitation specialists was formed by TLAR. Recommendations were based on the 2006 ASsessment in Ankylosing Spondylitis International Working Group (ASAS)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations and a systematic review of associated publications between January 2005 and September 2010. A Delphi process was used to develop the recommendations. Twelve major recommendations were constructed for the management of AS. Voting using a numerical rating scale assessed the strength of each recommendation. Results: the 12 recommendations include patient assessment, patient follow-up along with pharmacological and non- pharmacological methods. Some minor additions and changes have been made to the ASAS/EULAR recommendations. All of the recommendations had sufficient strength. Conclusion: National recommendations for the management of AS were developed based on scientific evidence and consensus expert opinion. These recommendations will be updated regularly in accordance with recent developments

The use of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) therapies for treatment of rheumatic diseases is increasing every day and the results are positive. Case reports about skin reactions developing after use of these medications - newly developing psoriasis, increase/flare-up of existing psoriasis - are found in the literature at rates that cannot be ignored. Psoriasis developing after the use of these agents for treatment is a paradoxical side effect, with no clear understanding of the cause though several hypotheses exist. In this article, we present five cases with this paradoxical side effect developing after anti-TNF treatment accompanied by the literature with the aim of aiding in finding an approach to these cases.

- Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to demonstrate chest expansion and lumbar mobility using modified Schober measurement values in healthy male and female populations aged 15 and over, and to identify factors affecting these measurements. Patients and methods: The prospective study included 444 volunteers (195 males, 249 females; mean age 47.13 years; range 15 to 88 years) from among patients presenting to the Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. Participants were divided into seven 10-year age groups: group 1:15-24 years, group 2:25-34, group 3:35-44, group 4:45-54, group 5:55-64, group 6:65-74, and group 7: over 75. Exclusion criteria comprised factors potentially influencing spinal mobility and chest expansion. All volunteers' chest measurements were performed in three planes (circumferential with a tape measure, and anteroposteriorly and transversely with calipers) and lumbar mobility was measured using the modified Schober method. The same physician performed the measurements. Results: Chest expansion measurements using tape and calipers varied considerably in all age groups and in both sexes. While there was no difference between males and females in circumferential chest expansion measurement, there was a significant difference decrease in both sexes from group 3 and onward. The only difference between the sexes in terms of modified Schober measurement was in group 4, in favor of male sex. Age-related change in both sexes was higher at age 55 and above compared to the young age groups. Conclusion: We may conclude that chest expansion measurement in the circumferential plane is sufficient when appropriate conditions are established and provides the most accurate result by permitting measurement in all planes.

Gilgil, Erdal, Kaçar, Cahit, Tuncer, Tiraje, and Bütün, Bülent
- Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine bone mineral density (BMD) using the posteroanterior L2–L4 (PA) and lateral L3 (LAT-L3) projections of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS), and to evaluate the relationship between BMD and the presence of syndesmophytes. METHODS: Twenty men with AS were studied. BMD was measured by femoral neck DEXA, PA DEXA, and LAT-L3 DEXA scans. Radiographs of lumbar spine were evaluated to obtain a lumbar spine score (LSS) for the presence of syndesmophytes. Twenty-three age matched healthy men served as controls. RESULTS: While there was no significant difference in BMD from PA DEXA results between AS patients and controls, BMD from the LAT-L3 DEXA was significantly reduced in AS patients (p = 0.009). LSS correlated significantly with BMD from PA DEXA (r = 0.55, p = 0.013), but not with BMD of LAT-L3 DEXA. CONCLUSION: LAT-L3 DEXA was superior to PA DEXA in detecting a decrease of BMD in patients with AS. The presence of syndesmophytes had no distorting effect on BMD measured by LAT-L3 DEXA.

Amaç: Romatoid artrit (RA)’te kardiyovasküler komplikasyonlar sık ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu komplikasyonlar arasında perikardit, miyokardit, kardiyak amiloidoz, koroner vaskülit, aritmi ve kapak hastalığı olduğu gibi konjestif kalp yetmezliği ve iskemik kalp hastalıkları da bulunmaktadır. Bu nedenle romatoid artritli hastalarda normal popülasyona göre mortalite ve morbidite daha sık görülmektedir. Son yıllarda N terminal pro beyin natriüretik peptid (NT-proBNP) kardiyak yetmezliğinin tanısında kullanılmaktadır. Biz bu çalışmada RA’li hastalarda hastalık aktivitesi ile NT-proBNP seviyeleri arasındaki ilişkiyi belirlemeyi amaçladık. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kalp hastalığı öyküsü olmayan 77 RA’li hasta ve 31 sağlıklı kontrol grubunda serum NT-proBNP, eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı, C reaktif protein düzeyleri ölçüldü. DAS 28 skoruna göre NT-proBNP düzeyleri karşılaştırıldı. Bulgular: Hastaların NT-proBNP düzeyleri ile yaş, beden kitle indeksi ve C reaktif protein düzeyleri arasında pozitif korelasyon vardı. NT-proBNP düzeyleri ile hastalık aktivitesi arasında anlamlı bir farklılık tespit edilmedi. Sonuç: NT-proBNP düzeyleri ile C reaktif protein düzeyleri arasında korelasyon vardır. Hastalık aktivitesi ile arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendiren çok sayıda hasta ve spesifik gruplarda yapılmış çalışmalara ihtiyaç vardır., Objective: Cardiovascular features in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are comman. These complications include pericarditis, myocarditis, cardiac amyloidosis, coronary vasculitis, arrhythmia and valve disease, as well as congestive heart failure and ischemic heart disease. For this reason, mortality and morbidity are more common in patients with RA than in the normal population. In recent years, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) has been used to identify cardiac failure. In this study, we aimed to determine the relationship between disease activity and NT-proBNP levels in patients with RA. Material and Methods: Serum NT-proBNP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein levels were measured in 77 patients with RA and 31 healthy control groups without cardiac disease history. NT-proBNP levels were compared according to DAS 28 score. Results: There was a positive correlation between NT-proBNP levels of patients and age, body mass index and C reactive protein levels. There was no significant difference between NT-proBNP levels and disease activity. Conclusion: The NT-proBNP correlates with the C-reactive protein. There is a need for studies in a large number of patients and specific groups evaluating the relationship with disease activity.

Leptin osteoartrit (OA) patogenezinde rol oynayan bir yağ dokusu hormonudur. El eklemleri ağırlık taşıyıcı rolü olmaması nedeniyle obezite ile ilişkili OA patogenezinde yağ dokusunun ve leptin hormonunun etkisini araştırmak için ideal bir hedef konumundadır. Çalışmamızın amacı orta yaş ve üstü kadınlarda el OA ile serum leptin düzeyleri ve beden kompozisyonu arasındaki ilişkinin araştırılmasıdır.Çalışmaya Amerikan Romatoloji Birliği (ACR) el OA klinik kriterlerine göre semptomatik OA mevcut olan 51 hasta, 46 sağlıklı kontrol dahil edildi. Hasta ve kontrol gruplarına ait demografik veriler, anamnez, laboratuvar bulguları kayıt edildi. Leptin plazma konsantrasyonlarının enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) ile ölçümü için 8 saatlik açlık kanı alındı. Tüm katılımcıların vücut ağırlığı (kg), boy (m), bel çevresi (cm), kalça çevresi (cm) ölçümleri yapıldı. Vücut kompozisyonu ölçümü için bioimpedans analiz cihazı (Tanita MC 780 segmental vücut kompozisyonu analiz cihazı) kullanıldı. Katılımcıların vücut kitle indeksi (VKİ) (kg/m²), bel kalça oranı ,kas kütlesi (kg), kas yüzdesi, yağ kütlesi (kg), yağ yüzdesi, gövde yağ kütlesi (kg), gövde yağ yüzdesi değerleri kayıt edildi. İstatistiksel analiz öncesi hasta ve kontrol grubundaki kadınlar VKİ değerlerine göre normal kilolu (VKİ = 18-24,99 kg/m²), aşırı kilolu (VKİ = 25-29,99 kg/m²), obez (VKİ = 30-34,99 kg/m²), ileri derecede obez (VKİ ≥ 35 kg/m²) olmak üzere 4 gruba ayrıldı. Leptin, bel çevresi, bel kalça oranı, yağ yüzdesinin diğer değişkenlerden bağımsız olarak el OA ile ilişkisini değerlendirebilmek için lojistik regresyon analizi uygulandı. Hasta ve kontrol grubunun serum leptin konsantrasyonları arasında anlamlı fark saptanmadı (p=0,414). VKİ değerlerine göre gruplandırılan hasta ve kontrol gruplarından normal kilolu olan hastalarda serum leptin düzeylerinin kontrol grubuna göre düşük olduğu (p=0,028); aşırı kilolu, obez, ileri derecede obez olanlarda ise hasta ve kontrol grupları arasında fark olmadığı gösterildi (sırasıyla p=0,282 , 0,613 , 0,234). Yaş, VKİ, diğer eklemlerde OA varlığı gibi değişkenlerden bağımsız olarak değerlendirildiğinde serum leptin düzeyleri ile el OA arasında ilişki olmadığı gösterildi (r=1,048 p=0,3761). Bel çevresi ve bel kalça oranı ile el OA arasında anlamlı ilişki olduğu saptandı (sırasıyla r=1,362 p=0,0348, r=

Günümüzde AS?te bağırsak inflamasyonunun varlığını gösteren bir çok çalışma vardır ancak etyopatogenetik ve klinik önemi bilinmemektedir. AS?te bağırsak inflamasyonun normal popülasyona göre daha sık görüldüğü konusunda bir çok araştırmacı hemfikirdir ancak olguların önemli bir kısmında bu inflamasyon asemptomatik seyrettiği için görülme oranı konusunda bir konsensus yoktur. Araştırmaların büyük bir kısmında bağırsak tutulumunun varlığı hastanın anamnezine veya kolonoskopik bulgulara dayandırılmaktadır. Bağırsak inflamasyonu ve AS ilişkisi araştırılmaya değer bir konu olup etyopatogeneze ışık tutabilir ancak öncelikle bu ilişkinin varlığının daha basit ve daha güvenilir yöntemlerle gösterilmesine ihtiyaç vardır. FK ölçümü yakın zamanda kullanılmaya başlanmış olup bağırsak inflamasyonun gösterilmesinde non-invaziv bir yöntem olarak dikkati çekmekte ve ümit vaadetmektedir.RA inflamatuar bir romatizmal hastalık olmasına karşın bağırsak inflamasyonu beklenen bir bulgu değildir; non-inflamatuar romatizmal hastalıklar için de benzer bir durum söz konusudur.Diğer taraftan, NSAİİ?lar tüm romatizmal hastalıklarda sıklıkla kullanılmaktadır. Bu ilaçların da bağırsak inflamasyonuna yol açabildiği bilinmektedir.Bu çalışmada FK bağırsak inflamasyonunun gösterilmesinde bir belirteç olarak kabul edilmiş ve AS?li hastalarda asemptomatik bağırsak inflamasyonunun tespiti için kullanılmıştır. Bağırsak tutulumu beklenmeyen RA?li ve non-inflamatuar romtizmalı hasta gruplarında da FK bakılarak hem bu proteinin bağırsak inflamasyonunu göstermedeki değeri hem de AS?li hastalarda elde edilen sonuçların diğer hasta grupları ile farkları mukayese edilmiştir. Diğer taraftan, FK düzeyleri ile AS?te bağırsak inflamasyonunun hastalık şiddeti üzerine etkisi incelenmiş, kullanılan tedavi - NSAİİ alımı ile bağırsak inflamasyonu ilişkisi irdelenerekbulgular literatür eşliğinde tartışılmıştır. 37Bilinen inflamatuar bir bağırsak hastalığı ve/veya intestinal şikayeti olmayan 97 ankilozan spondilit, 48 romatoid artrit, 49 non- inflamatuar romatizmal hasta bu çalışma kapsamına alındı.AS grubunda pozitif FK görülme oranı RA grubuna göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek saptandı (p=0,016). AS?li hastalarda hastalık süresi ile FK arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı negatif yönlü zayıf bir ilişki bulundu. Hastalık aktivitesi (BASDAI) ile FK arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki görülmedi. FK ile ESH ve CRP arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmadı. AS grubunda NSAİİ kullanan olgularda FK ölçümü NSAİİ kullanmayanlara göre anlamlı düzeyde yüksek saptandı. Üveit ve periferik artrit ile FK arasında bir ilişki tespit edilmemiştir.Anahtar kelimeler : Ankilozan spondilit, fekal kalprotektin, bağırsak inflamasyonu At the present time there are multiple evidences of coexisting subclinical intestinal inflammation in Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) but its etiopathogenic and clinical significance is still unknown. Many researchers agree that there is a high prevelance of subclinical intestinal inflammation in AS. The frequency of subclinical inflammation is not definite because most of the patients are asymptomatic. Most of the researchers established intestinal inflammation with patients history or colonoscopic studies. The relationship between AS and intestinal inflammation is an interesting topic and can help to better understanding of the etiopathogenesis. Firstly we need a simple and reliable method to show that relationship.Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a recent and non-invasive test to identify intestinal inflammation. FC is a promising marker.Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory rheumatic disease but intestinal inflammation is not connected with RA or non-inflammatory rheumatic diseases.On the other hand non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) use is known to cause intestinal inflammation.NSAID use is common in rheumatic diseases.In our study FC was accepted as a marker of intestinal inflammation. FC assay was used to determine asymptomatic intestinal inflammation in AS patients.Intestinal inflammation is not connected with RA or non-inflammatory rheumatic diseases. FC levels in both groups was assessed to identify the value of FC for intestinal inflammation. We compared FC levels with AS patients results.Also we asses the correlation between activation of the disease and the severity of intestinal inflammation. We asses the relationship of intestinal inflammation with rheumatic treatment and NSAID usage and compare our results with the literature.Our research included 97 AS patient fulfilling the modified New York Criteria, 48 RA patients fulfilling the American College of Rheumatology Criteria and 49 patients with non-inflammatory rheumatic diseases.AS group patients showed significantly higher positive FC test compared with RA group patients (p=0,016). AS group patients levels of FC were negatively associated with disease duration. Levels of FC were not associated with BASDAI, ESR, CRP, uveitis and peripheral arthritis. AS group patients on NSAID showed significantly higher FC compared with nonusers 51

Rheumatology ,Romatoloji - Abstract
Ankilozan spondilit, hastalığın ileri evresinde ankiloz ve sindesmofit formasyonuna yol açabilen genellikle sakroiliitis ve spondilitis şeklinde spinal inflamasyonla karakterize kronik inflamatuvar romatolojik bir hastalıktır. AS'nin hastalık aktivitesini, progresyonunu, prognozunu ve hastalık durumunu tanımlamak zordur. Radyografik değişiklikler AS'de tanı koydurucu öneme sahiptir. Ayrıca radyografi AS'de hasarı gösterir. Böylece AS'li hastalarda hastalığın ilerlemesi belirli aralarla radyografik ölçümler yapılarak değerlendirilebilir. Bu nedenle radyografik ölçüm yöntemi hastalığın durumunu yansıtması açısından çok önemlidir. Bu amaçla birkaç skala geliştirilmiştir. Bu skalalar Bath AS Radyoloji İndeksi (BASRI), Stoke AS Spine Skoru (Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score-SASSS) ve Modifiye Stoke AS Spine Skoru (M-SASS) yöntemleridir.Bu çalışmadaki primer amacımız AS'li hastalarda bu radyolojik indeksleri karşılaştırmak ve birbirlerine üstünlüklerini test edebilemekti. İkincil amaçlarımız ise; AS'li hastalarda hastalık aktivitesi, hastanın fonksiyonel durumu, yaşam kalitesi, metrolojik ölçümler ve akut faz reaktanları arasındaki ilişkiyi değerlendirmekti.Bu amaçla 73 gönüllü AS'li hasta (18 kadın, 55 erkek) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Hastaların fonksiyonel durumunu, hastalık aktivitesini ve yaşam kalitesini değerlendirmek için hastalara sırasıyla Bath AS Fonksiyonel indeksi (BASFI), Bath AS Hastalık Aktivitesi indeksi (BASDAI) ve AS Yaşam Kalitesi (ASQoL) ölçeği uygulandı. Bath AS Metroloji indeksi (BASMI) spinal mobiliteyi değerlendirmek için kullanıldı. Hastaların eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı (ESH) ve serum C-reaktif protein (CRP) düzeyleri ölçüldü. Hastalara radyolojik skorlama SASSS, M-SASS ve BASRI'ye göre yapıldı. Sonuçların korelasyon analizi için spearman korelasyon testi uygulandı.Sonuç olarak; el-yer mesafesi SASSS ile korele çıkarken, diğer radyolojik indekslerle korelasyon saptanmadı. Diğer bütün mobilite ölçümleri ile radyolojik indeksler arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyon saptandı (p

- Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to estimate the prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) in Turkey using the same telephone questionnaire developed for screening RA and SpA in France and used in Serbia and Lithuania., Material and Methods: The study was performed in two steps. In step I, the French questionnaire was translated into Turkish and validated through a group of 200 patients (80 males, 120 females; mean age 44.0±13.1 years; range 19 to 75 years) followed up at the rheumatology departments of University Hospitals in Antalya and Ankara. In step II, the validated Turkish questionnaire was administered face-to-face to randomly selected 4,012 subjects (1,670 males, 2,342 females; mean age 41.5±16.8 years; range 16 to 97 years) by trained general practitioners across the country, in 25 prov- inces for case detection. The subjects who were suspected of having RA or SpA in accordance with the questionnaire were invited to the nearest university hospital for rheumatologic examination in order to confirm the diagnosis., Results: In step II, a total of 25 subjects (2 males, 23 females) were diagnosed as RA. The standardized RA prevalence for the general population of Turkey was calculated as 0.56% (95% confidence interval [CI]; 0.33-0.79), 0.10% (95% CI; -0.05-0.25) for males and 0.89% (95% CI; 0.51-1.27) for females. A total of 18 subjects (3 males, 15 females) were diagnosed as SpA. The standardized SpA prevalence for the general population of Turkey was 0.46% (95% CI; 0.25-0.67), 0.17% (95% CI; -0.03-0.37) for males and 0.65% (95% CI; 0.32-0.98) for females. The prevalence of RA was highest in the Northern region (2.00%) and the prevalence of SpA was highest in the Central region (1.49%)., Conclusion: The prevalences of RA and SpA in Turkey are close to each other and there are significant inter-regional variations in prevalences of both RA and SpA., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: The authors declared no conflicts of interest with respect to the authorship and/or publication of this article.

- Abstract
Objectives: This study aims to demonstrate chest expansion and lumbar mobility using modified Schober measurement values in healthy male and female populations aged 15 and over, and to identify factors affecting these measurements., Patients and Methods: The prospective study included 444 volunteers (195 males, 249 females; mean age 47.13 years; range 15 to 88 years) from among patients presenting to the Akdeniz University Faculty of Medicine Hospital Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinic. Participants were divided into seven 10-year age groups: group 1: 15-24 years, group 2: 25-34, group 3: 35-44, group 4: 45-54, group 5: 55-64, group 6: 65-74, and group 7: over 75. Exclusion criteria comprised factors potentially influencing spinal mobility and chest expansion. All volunteers' chest measurements were performed in three planes (circumferential with a tape measure, and anteroposteriorly and transversely with calipers) and lumbar mobility was measured using the modified Schober method. The same physician performed the measurements., Results: Chest expansion measurements using tape and calipers varied considerably in all age groups and in both sexes. While there was no difference between males and females in circumferential chest expansion measurement, there was a significant difference decrease in both sexes from group 3 and onward. The only difference between the sexes in terms of modified Schober measurement was in group 4, in favor of male sex. Age-related change in both sexes was higher at age 55 and above compared to the young age groups., Conclusion: We may conclude that chest expansion measurement in the circumferential plane is sufficient when appropriate conditions are established and provides the most accurate result by permitting measurement in all planes., Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: The authors declared no conflicts of interest with respect to the authorship and/or publication of this article.
