McWilliams, D. F., Frowd, N., Marshall, L., Stocks, J., Sarmanova, A., Fernandes, G. S., Hall, M. C., Zhang, W., Doherty, M., & Walsh, D. A. Prediction of persistent knee pain by pressure pain detection thresholds: results from the Knee Pain In the Community cohort (KPIC). Presented at EULAR 2018 (Annual European Congress of Rheumatology)

Background:
Knee pain results from a combination of nociceptive input from the joint, and processing by the central nervous system. Pressure pain detection thresholds (PPTs) are lower and pain is more severe in people with greater central sensitisat...

Interpretation of DAS28 and its components in the assessment of inflammatory and non-inflammatory aspects of rheumatoid arthritis (2018)
Journal Article
McWilliams, D. F., Kiely, P. D., Young, A., Joharatnam, N., Wilson, D., & Walsh, D. A. (in press). Interpretation of DAS28 and its components in the assessment of inflammatory and non-inflammatory aspects of rheumatoid arthritis. BMC Rheumatology, 2(8), https://doi.org/10.1186/s41927-018-0016-9

Background: DAS28 is interpreted as the inflammatory disease activity of RA. Non-inflammatory pain mechanisms can confound assessment. We aimed to examine the use of DAS28 components or DAS28-derived measures that have been published as indices of no...
