A biopsychosocial network model of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review (2019)
Journal Article
Geenen, R., & Dures, E. (2019). A biopsychosocial network model of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review. Rheumatology, 58(Supplement_5), v10-v21. https://doi.org/10.1093/rheumatology/kez403

Fatigue in RA is prevalent, intrusive and disabling. We propose a network model of fatigue encompassing multiple and mutually interacting biological, psychological and social factors. Guided by this model, we reviewed the literature to offer a compre... Read More about A biopsychosocial network model of fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis: A systematic review.

Group cognitive–behavioural programme to reduce the impact of rheumatoid arthritis fatigue: The RAFT RCT with economic and qualitative evaluations (2019)
Journal Article
Hewlett, S., Almeida, C., Ambler, N., Blair, P. S., Choy, E., Dures, E., …Pollock, J. (2019). Group cognitive–behavioural programme to reduce the impact of rheumatoid arthritis fatigue: The RAFT RCT with economic and qualitative evaluations. Health Technology Assessment, 23(57), https://doi.org/10.3310/hta23570

BACKGROUND: Fatigue is a major problem in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There is evidence for the clinical effectiveness of cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) delivered by clinical psychologists, but few rheumatology units have psychologists. OBJECTIVE...

Abstract for BOA 2019 Although long-term follow up of joint replacement is advocated, in a national audit of 42 orthopaedic units, only 43% were continuing follow up beyond 5 years. Four studies were conducted using mixed methods research to address... Read More about Hip arthroplasty surveillance: Is it really needed?.

Diagnosis and initial management in psoriatic arthritis: A qualitative study with patients (2019)
Journal Article

Systematic review of the clinical effectiveness for long-term follow-up of total hip arthroplasty (2019)
Journal Article

Objectives Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is highly successful but national registries indicate that average age has lowered and that younger patients are at higher risk of revision. Long-term follow-up of THA was historically recommended to identify... Read More about Systematic review of the clinical effectiveness for long-term follow-up of total hip arthroplasty.

Training and delivery of a novel fatigue intervention: a qualitative study of rheumatology health-care professionals' experiences (2019)
Journal Article

Objectives. Successful, non-pharmacological research interventions are challenging to implement in clinical practice. The aim of the study was to understand the experiences of rheumatology nurses and occupational therapists (tutors) delivering a nove...

Journal Article
Hewlett, S., Almeida, C., Ambler, N., Blair, P. S., Choy, E. H., Dures, E., …Pollock, J. (2019).

© Author(s) (or their employer(s)) 2019. Objectives To see if a group course delivered by rheumatology teams using cognitive-behavioural approaches, plus usual care, reduced RA fatigue impact more than usual care alone. Methods Multicentre, 2-year ra... Read More about Reducing arthritis fatigue impact: Two-year randomised controlled trial of cognitive behavioural approaches by rheumatology teams (RAFT).
