Systemic Inflammation and Extra-Articular Manifestations in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

299 adult patients with confirmed rheumatoid arthritis were assessed from 2023 to 2025. The cross-sectional study by Karlygash Sadykova found extra-articular manifestations in 93% of patients and identified associations with systemic inflammation markers like C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.

Use Cases

• Predicting the presence of extra-articular manifestations based on systemic inflammation markers like C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
• Analyzing the relationship between patient age, disability status, and extra-articular disease severity.
• Investigating the independent association of erythrocyte sedimentation rate with extra-articular manifestations using multivariable logistic regression models.

Strengths

• Includes data from 299 adult patients with confirmed rheumatoid arthritis.
• Reports specific statistical findings, such as a median C-reactive protein level of 20 mg/L in patients with extra-articular manifestations.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The data is contained in a single 16.9 KB DOCX file, suggesting limited scope and potential formatting for analysis.
