1. Ultrasonographic characteristics and synovitis pattern of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with onset of peripheral arthritis under tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNF-i), patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) naive to treatment and patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) naive to treatment.
Ultrasonographic characteristics and synovitis pattern of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with onset of peripheral arthritis under tumour necrosis factor inhibitor (TNF-i), patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) naive to treatment and patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) naive to treatment. (A) Example picture of ultrasound assessment of patient with IBD with onset of peripheral arthritis under TNF-i. (B) Example picture of ultrasound assessment of patients with RA naive to treatment. (C) Example picture of ultrasound assessment of patient with PsA naive to treatment. (D) Grey scale synovial hypertrophy score in patients with IBD (n=10) with onset of peripheral arthritis under TNF-i, patients with RA naive to treatment (n=15) and patients with PsA naive to treatment (n=12). (E) Power Doppler score of synovitis in patients with IBD (n=10) with onset of peripheral arthritis under TNF-i, patients with RA naive to treatment (n=15) and patients with PsA naive to treatment (n=12). (F) Follicular synovitis frequency in patients with IBD, RA and PsA.
