1 Effective management of arthritis Gail Dolan Victoria ACH Liz McIvor Stobhill ACH
2 Role Types of arthritis Drugs Self Management
3 Role Of CNS Advanced level nurses offering specialist care in a specific field Education/ self management Support referrals to other MDT Clinical role e.g. Medication r/v, joint aspiration/injection, ultrasound Patient helpline management Research/Audit
4 Common Helpline Calls Medication advice Flare Vaccination advice Joint injection GP Advice Abnormal bloods Family planning Biologic advice Drug Administration Travel Advice Allergy advice PIP appeal support External support group (NRAS, arthritis UK) Appointments General disease advice Unrelated medical advice
5 Osteoarthritis - hands Bony swellings Heberdens Bouchards Non tender Not red X ray appearances
6 Monoarthritis Septic arthritis Gout Pseudogout Reactive arthritis
7 Rheumatoid Arthritis Progressive and disabling inflammatory disease Most patients sustain significant joint inflammation and erosions within first 2 years Visser. Best Pract & Research (1): % unable to do their job after 3 years of disease Bykerk Best Pract & Research (1):

17 RA Aggressive management- early referral, early DMARDs- Methotrexate monotherapy Triple therapymethotrexate sulphasalazine hydroxychloroquine If RA still active (DAS score): Biologic therapy (BSR guidelines) TNF key cytokine Infliximab, adalimumab Etanercept. Certolizumab, Golimumab Rituximab, Tocilizumab
18 Analgesic ladder Steroids NSAIDs Ibuprofen Treatments Diclofenac (Voltarol) Naprosyn (Naproxen) Etodolac (Lodine) Celcoxib (Celebrex)
19 NSAIDS Effective symptomatic relief. Reduce pain, stiffness and tenderness.
20 Risk of NSAID complications Age >65 increase directly with: History of peptic ulceration Co Morbidity eg. Cardiac disease Use of 2 Nsaids including asprin Concomitant Corticosteroid and Anticoagulant use Co-existing helicobacter pylori infection
21 Steroids Intra articular Intramuscular Oral Can cause rebound flare of psoriasis
22 Disease modifying drugs (DMARDS) Treat underlying disease - immunosuppressant Not a pain killer!! Often used in combination with anti inflammatory initially and IM / IA steroid injections Slow onset
23 When are they prescribed? Recommendations are to prescribe in early disease BSR, EULAR, ACR How are they prescribed? Mono, dual and triple therapy TICORA and TREAT to TARGET Monthly early RA clinic Rapid escalation of therapy dependant on regular measurement of disease activity
24 EXAMPLES Methotrexate also subcutaneous Sulphasalazine Hydroxychloroquine Leflunomide Gold Azathioprine Cyclosporin Steroids
25 Commonly used DMARDs Methotrexate -Taken once weekly (same day) Starting dose - varies severity of disease, co morbidities Dosing - 7.5mg 30mg option to switch to s/c preparation Side effects Rash, nausea ( can be severe), mouth ulcers, abnormal bloods, diarrhoea, headaches, PNEUMONITIS Requires folate replacement Blood monitoring fortnightly initially FBC, U&E,LFT, ESR
26 Commonly used DMARDs Sulphasalazine Taken daily Dosing - 40mg/kg 500mg tablets - start 1 daily and increase Side effects - similar to Methotrexate dizziness, abdominal pain (week 3-4), colour change of urine. Bloods fortnightly initially
27 Commonly used DMARDs Hydroxychloroquine Taken daily Dosing - >62kg = 400mg daily >46kg <62kg = 200mg/400mg alternate days <46kg >31kg = 200mg daily Well tolerated, main side effect is a rash and headache No blood monitoring required Yearly eye tests at opticians as can cause retinal toxicity
28 RA - Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 Measure of overall disease activity Composite score derived from 4 measures Number of swollen joints (out of 28) Number of tender joints (out of 28) Measure ESR/CRP Measure global assessment of health Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)- used to assess function

30 Symptoms of PsA Pain Swelling EMS Gelling Difficulty with grip Stiff back/neck Swollen digit Heel pain
31 Patterns of disease Monoarthritis - one joint involved Asymmetrical oligoarthritis <5 joints Polyarthritis- >5 joints Spondyloarthropathy - back and neck Arthritis mutilans DIP disease Enthesitis Dactylitis
32 Psoriatic disease - not just skin Comorbidities Metabolic syndrome Obesity- waist circumference Dyslipidaemia - high triglycerides, low HDL Hypertension NIDDM NASH Smoking and alcohol and joints
33 Association with psoriasis Simultaneous onset 15% 60% psoriasis prior to PsA 25% arthritis prior to skin - PsA sine psoriasis
34 PsA in UK 1-3% population with psoriasis 30% co existing arthropathy

50 Criteria for biologic agents RA - DAS-28 > or more tender joint and 3 or more swollen joints Failed trials of two DMARDs, including MTX (unless contraindicated). PsA - 3 or more tender joint and 3 or more swollen joints Failed trials of two DMARDs, including MTX (unless contraindicated) ( CASPAR guidelines) AkSpa Failed two NSAIDs 2 consecutive BASDAI > 4 taken 4 weeks apart
