Presentation / Conference Contribution
Akin-Akinyosoye, K., Frowd, N., Marshall, L., Stocks, J., Fernandes, G., Valdes, A., McWilliams, D., Zhang, W., Doherty, M., Ferguson, E., & Walsh, D. (2018, April). A clinical assessment tool to improve the use of pain relieving treatments in knee osteoarthritis. Presented at 2018 OARSI World Congress on Osteoarthritis : Promoting Clinical and Basic Research in Osteoarthritis, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Purpose: Approximately 1 in 4 individuals in the UK over the age of 55 experience knee pain (KP), predominantly due to osteoarthritis (OA). Following treatment targeted at the affected knee, pain relief is reported in only 60%–80% of individuals with...

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...
