    Abstract During the last decade, the outlook for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has improved greatly, especially for patients with autoantibody-positive RA. To further improve long-term disease outcomes, the field has turned to investigating the efficacy of treatment initiated in the pre-arthritic phase of RA, based on the adage "the sooner the better." In this review, the concept of prevention is evaluated and different risk stages are being examined for their pre-test risks of RA development. These risks affect the post-test risk of biomarkers used at these stages and, consequently, the accuracy with which the risk of RA can be estimated. Furthermore, through their effect on accurate risk stratification, these pre-test risks ultimately also associate with the likelihood of false-negative trial results (the so-called "clinicostatistical tragedy"). Outcome measures to assess preventive effects are evaluated and relate to either the occurrence of disease itself or to the severity of risk factors for RA development. Results of recently completed prevention studies are discussed in the light of these theoretical considerations. The results vary, but clear prevention of RA has not been demonstrated. While some treatments (e.g. methotrexate) persistently reduced symptom severity, physical disability, and the severity of imaging joint inflammation, other treatments were not reported to produce long-lasting effects (hydroxychloroquine, rituximab, atorvastatin). The review concludes with future perspectives regarding the design of new prevention studies and considerations and requirements before findings can be implemented in daily practice in individuals at risk of RA attending rheumatology practices.

    Abstract Artificial intelligence techniques, specifically deep learning, have already affected daily life in a wide range of areas. Likewise, initial applications have been explored in rheumatology. Deep learning might not easily surpass the accuracy of classic techniques when performing classification or regression on low-dimensional numerical data. With images as input, however, deep learning has become so successful that it has already outperformed the majority of conventional image-processing techniques developed during the past 50 years. As with any new imaging technology, rheumatologists and radiologists need to consider adapting their arsenal of diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring tools, and even their clinical role and collaborations. This adaptation requires a basic understanding of the technical background of deep learning, to efficiently utilize its benefits but also to recognize its drawbacks and pitfalls, as blindly relying on deep learning might be at odds with its capabilities. To facilitate such an understanding, it is necessary to provide an overview of deep-learning techniques for automatic image analysis in detecting, quantifying, predicting and monitoring rheumatic diseases, and of currently published deep-learning applications in radiological imaging for rheumatology, with critical assessment of possible limitations, errors and confounders, and conceivable consequences for rheumatologists and radiologists in clinical practice.

    Abstract Objectives: To determine whether patient reported outcome measures (PROMs) capturing activity limitations, health impact, pain, fatigue and work ability are responsive and sensitive to changes in disease activity status in patients with early and established rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
    Methods: All early RA patients (n = 557) from the tREACH-trial and established RA patients (n = 188) from the TARA-trial were included. Both studies were multicentre, single-blinded trials with a treat-to-target management approach. The following PROMs were studied: Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index(HAQ-DI), morning stiffness severity, EQ-5D, general health, 36-item short form(SF-36), joint pain, fatigue and productivity loss. Mean changes in PROMs between two consecutive visits were compared with changes in disease activity status(remission, low disease activity and active disease) using linear mixed models and standardised response means. Additionally, the proportion of individual observations that showed an expected PROM response to disease activity status alterations was calculated.
    Results: HAQ-DI, morning stiffness severity, general health, EQ-5D and joint pain demonstrated responsiveness to improvement or worsening of disease activity status in both early and established RA. SF-36 physical and mental component scale, fatigue and productivity loss did not show this effect in both groups. Across nearly all PROMs, the magnitude of change and the proportion of individual observations that reflect a shift from and to active disease remained low.
    Conclusion: HAQ-DI, morning stiffness severity, EQ-5D, general health and joint pain are responsive to disease activity status alterations on a group level in both early and established RA. For the individual patient the responsiveness of these PROMs is poor.

    Abstract Objectives: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) mainly affects small joints. Despite the mechanical function of joints, the role of mechanical stress in the development of arthritis is insufficiently understood. We hypothesised that mechanical stress/physical strain is a risk factor for joint inflammation in RA. Therefore, we studied work-related physical strain in subjects with clinically suspected arthralgia (CSA) as a risk factor for the presence of imaging-detected subclinical joint inflammation and the development of clinical arthritis/RA.
    Methods: In 501 CSA patients and 155 symptom-free persons' occupation-related physical strain was quantified using the International Standard Classification of Occupations. Contrast-enhanced hand-MRIs were made and evaluated for joint inflammation (sum of synovitis/tenosynovitis/osteitis). CSA patients were followed on RA development. Age relationship was studied using an interaction term of physical strain with age.
    Results: The degree of physical strain in CSA is associated with the severity of joint inflammation, independent of educational-level/BMI/smoking (interaction physical strain-age p=0.007; indicating a stronger association with increasing age). Physical strain is associated with higher tenosynovitis scores, in particular. In symptom-free persons, physical strain was not associated with imaging-detected joint inflammation. Higher degrees of physical strain also associated with higher risks for RA development in an age-dependent manner (HR=1.20 (1.06-1.37)/10-year increase in age), independent of educational-level/BMI/smoking. This association was partly mediated by an effect via subclinical joint inflammation.
    Conclusions: Work-related physical strain increases the risk of subclinical joint inflammation and of developing RA. The age relationship suggests an effect of long-term stress or that tenosynovium is more sensitive to stress at older age. Together, the data indicate that mechanical stress contributes to the development of arthritis in RA.

    Abstract Objectives: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody(ACPA)-positive and ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis(RA) differ in underlying risk factors but have a similar clinical presentation at RA-diagnosis. It is unknown what the ACPA-associated differences or similarities are during the symptomatic at-risk stage of RA, clinically suspect arthralgia(CSA). To deepen insights into these differences/similarities, we compared the course of symptoms/impairments and subclinical joint-inflammation in the CSA-phase during progression to inflammatory arthritis(IA) or to CSA-resolution.
    Methods: 845 CSA-patients were followed for median 24 months; 136 patients developed IA and additional 355/505 patients had resolution of CSA according to rheumatologists. Patient burden (pain/morning stiffness/fatigue/functional disabilities/presenteeism) was assessed at baseline, 4/12/24 months and IA-development. Subclinical joint-inflammation in hands/feet was assessed over time with 1.5 T-MRI. Linear/Poisson mixed models were used.
    Results: Both in ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative patients, patient burden increased towards IA-development and decreased towards CSA-resolution. However, patient burden was lower in ACPA-positive than ACPA-negative disease on all timepoints. Conversely, subclinical joint-inflammation tended to increase more rapidly during development of ACPA-positive IA (IRR = 1.52,95%CI = 0.94-2.47, p= 0.089), and remained higher over time in ACPA-positive CSA-patients achieving resolution compared with ACPA-negative patients (IRR = 1.52,95%CI = 1.07-2.15, p= 0.018). Although correlation coefficients between changes in patient burden and subclinical joint-inflammation during progression to IA were weak, they were consistently higher in ACPA-positive than ACPA-negative disease, e.g. ρ = 0.29 vs ρ = 0.12 for functional disabilities.
    Conclusion: During RA-development and CSA-resolution, ACPA-positive CSA-patients have lower patient burden, but more subclinical joint-inflammation than ACPA-negative CSA-patients. These data strengthen the notion that the development of ACPA-positive and ACPA-negative RA is pathophysiologically different, and encourage further research on these differences.
