The Impact of COVID-19 on Rare and Complex Connective Tissue Diseases: the Expe...
Talarico, R; Aguilera, S; Alexander, T; Amoura, Z; Antunes, A; Arnaud, L; Avcin, T; Beretta, L; Bombardieri, S; Burmester, G; Cannizzo, S; Cavagna, LDuring the COVID-19 pandemic, the need to provide high-level care for a large number of patients with COVID-19 has affected resourcing for, and limited the routine care of, all other conditions. The impact of this health emergency is particularly relevant in the rare connective tissue diseases (rCTDs) communities, as discussed in this Perspective article by the multi-stakeholder European Reference Network on Ra...
Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies: State of the Art on Clinical Practice Guide...
Meyer, A; Scirè, CA; Talarico, R; Alexander, T; Amoura, Z; Avcin, T; Barsotti, S; Beretta, L; Blagojevic, J; Burmester, G; Cavazzana, I; Cherrin, PIdiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIMs) encompass a heterogeneous group of rare autoimmune diseases characterised by muscle weakness and inflammation, but in antisynthetase syndrome arthritis and interstitial lung disease are more frequent and often inaugurate the disease. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) have been proposed for IIMs, but they are sparse and heterogeneous. This work aimed at identifying: i)...
Sjögren's Syndrome: State of the Art on Clinical Practice Guideline
Romão, V; Talarico, R; Scirè, CA; Vieira, A; Alexander, T; Baldini, C; Gottenberg, JE; Gruner, H; Hachulla, E; Mouthon, L; Orlandi, M; Pamfil, CSjögren's syndrome (SS) is a complex autoimmune rheumatic disease that specifically targets salivary and lachrymal glands. As such, patients typically had ocular and oral dryness and salivary gland swelling. Moreover, skin, nasal and vaginal dryness are frequently present. In addition to dryness, musculoskeletal pain and fatigue are the hallmarks of this disease and constitute the classic symptom triad presente...
Undifferentiated connective tissue disease: state of the art on clinical practi...
Antunes, M; Scirè, CA; Talarico, R; Alexander, T; Avcin, T; Belocchi, C; Doria, A; Franceschini, F; Galetti, I; Govoni, M; Hachulla, E; Launay, DThe term 'undifferentiated connective tissue disease' (UCTD) is generally used to describe clinical entities characterised by clinical and serological manifestations of systemic autoimmune diseases but not fulfilling the criteria for defined connective tissue diseases (CTDs). In this narrative review, we summarise the results of a systematic literature research, which was performed as part of the ERN ReCONNET p...
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: State of the Art on Clinical Practice Guidelines
Tamirou, F; Arnaud, L; Talarico, R; Scirè, CA; Alexander, T; Amoura, Z; Avcin, T; Bortoluzzi, A; Cervera, R; Conti, F; Cornet, A; Devilliers, HSystemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is the paradigm of systemic autoimmune diseases characterised by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations with an unpredictable relapsing-remitting course. The aim of the present work was to identify current available clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for SLE, to provide their review and to identify physicians' and patients' unmet needs. Twenty-three original guidelines pu...
Antiphospholipid Syndrome: State of the Art on Clinical Practice Guidelines
Limper, M; Scirè, CA; Talarico, R; Amoura, Z; Avcin, T; Basile, M; Burmester, G; Carli, L; Cervera, R; Costedoat-Chalumeau, N; Doria, A; Dörner, TAntiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a rare disease characterised by venous and/or arterial thrombosis, pregnancy complications and the presence of specific autoantibodies called antiphospholipid antibodies. This review aims to identify existing clinical practice guidelines (CPG) as part of the ERN ReCONNET project, aimed at evaluating existing CPGs or recommendations in rare and complex diseases.
