Significant gains in rheumatoid arthritis quality measures among RISE Registry practices.
This study examined performance on rheumatoid arthritis (RA) quality measures and assessed the association between practice characteristics and changes in performance over time among participating practices. The authors analyzed data from practices enrolled in the American College of Rheumatology Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry from 2015 to 2017. Eight quality measures in the areas of RA disease management, cardiovascular risk reduction, and patient safety were analyzed. Data from 59,986 patients from 54 practices were examined. Cohort characteristics were a mean age of 62 years, 77% female, 69% Caucasian, and most patients (46%) were seen in a single-specialty group practice. Measures related to RA functional status and disease activity assessment improved over time, with single-specialty group practices having the fastest rates of improvement across all measures.

Use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists in patients with heart failure and comorbid diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease.
Perceived risks of hyperkalemia and acute renal insufficiency may limit use of mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) therapy in patients with heart failure, especially those with diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease. In their study, the investigators found that among patients with heart failure and diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease, MRA use was associated with lower risk of all-cause readmission despite greater risk of hyperkalemia and acute renal insufficiency.

Joint replacement registries in the United States: a new paradigm.
This commentary serves as an introduction to an upcoming series of articles about orthopaedic registries, in general, with an emphasis on lessons learned from the evolving U.S. and international total joint replacement registries. Specifically, this paper provides an overview of total joint replacement registries and the current expansion of data collection beyond implant attributes and survival to include postoperative complications and patient-reported outcomes.
