Low-dose methotrexate may pose serious adverse event risk for older adults with CKD

05 Dec 2023 by

For older adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who are initiating a disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD), low-dose methotrexate appears to be associated with a heightened 90-day risk of serious adverse events compared with hydroxychloroquine, as shown in a study.

Inflammation, disease duration and delayed diagnosis associated with hypertension in axial spondyloarthritis

05 Dec 2023 by

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients with a higher inflammatory burden, longer delay in diagnosis and longer baseline disease duration (BLDD) have an increased risk of developing incident hypertension after adjusting for traditional cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, a retrospective cohort study by the Chinese University of Hong Kong has shown.
