“…Interprofessional care, chronic disease, and multimorbidity There is a high probability of being diagnosed with other comorbidities along with COPD [53][54][55][56][57] . Given this, interprofessional healthcare teams must approach treatment plans with a multi-morbidity (more than one comorbidity) outlook, which requires the inclusion of experts from several different specialties [53][54][55][56][57] . One systematic review estimated that ≥1 chronic conditions (such as cardiovascular disease) coexist in >85% of patients with COPD 54 .…”

“…The comorbidities associated with COPD are often other chronic diseases that have been treated and managed with dental expertise from dental providers; therefore, dental providers can offer valuable insight on some of the systemic conditions associated with COPD 34,50, [53][54][55][56][57][59][60][61]63 . Secondly, dental providers can offer a valuable perspective and skill set within any interprofessional team.…”

Exploring the inclusion of dental providers on interprofessional healthcare teams treating patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: a rapid review

et al. 2020

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of death in the world. Emerging concepts like One Health, integrated care models for COPD, and associations between oral and respiratory health are innovative ways to approach COPD treatment. This study explored contemporary evidence on the inclusion of dental providers on interprofessional healthcare teams treating patients with COPD. The first objective was to explore the current state of interprofessional care for COPD, and the second objective was to explore dentistry used in interprofessional care. A rapid review was conducted from January–June 2020 using Scopus and PubMed. Upon assessing for duplication and relevance, 85 articles were included for Objective 1, and 194 for Objective 2. The literature suggests that when dental providers are included on interprofessional healthcare teams, treatment outcomes for patients with multi-morbid, chronic disease such as COPD, are improved. The papers collected for review suggest that educational and clinical programs should implement interprofessional collaboration when treating chronic diseases. Healthcare teams can utilize the expertise of professionals outside the traditional medical field to better understand patients’ needs. Healthcare administration should consider a One Health approach when developing COPD treatment guidelines. We believe our results are transferable to the Canadian healthcare system. The collaborative nature and holistic philosophy of a One Health approach provides a novel way to develop policies and procedures that can effectively address the burden of COPD.

“…A recent study of our RA patient population revealed that UIP was the common pattern affecting mainly women with a mean age of 62.6 years of age, with smoking history found in only 31% of the cases. NSIP pattern was found in 25% of the RA-associated ILD cases, a second autoimmune disease was reported in 75% of the NSIP patients [14]. The typical UIP CT pattern features honeycombing, reticular pattern with peripheral traction bronchiectasis or bronchiolectasis in a predominantly basal (occasionally diffuse) and sub-pleural distribution that is often heterogeneous [15].…”

Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, systemic, inflammatory disorder that primarily affects synovial joints. Approximately 18-41% of patients with RA develop extra-articular manifestations [1]. However, extra-articular manifestations preceding or occurring without articular symptoms in RA have rarely been reported. Such atypical presentations of RA pose a diagnostic challenge to the clinician and may delay treatment. Case presentation: A 57-year-old female with long standing diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and Raynaud's phenomenon presented shortness of breath, cough and new subcutaneous nodules. Four years before, she had been diagnosed with non specific interstitial pneumonia but had declined treatment. The physical exam did not reveal any signs suggestive of RA however, she was seropositive for rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-citrullinated peptide antibody (ACPA). Treatment for RA-associated interstitial lung disease was discussed. Conclusion: Extra-articular involvement of RA can be observed as initial presentation of the disease in a handful of cases. However, RA diagnosis must be achieved to correctly manage these patients which can at that time receive targeted therapeutic interventions. From our literature review, pulmonary involvement was seen in over half of the cases in seropositive RA patients who lacked articular involvement at initial presentation.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease characterized by joint inflammation that involves symmetric polyarthritis of small and large joints. Autoimmune rheumatic diseases represent a significant socioeconomic burden as they are among the leading causes of death and morbidity due to increased risk of cardiovascular disease. Health disparities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis affect outcomes, prognosis, and management of the disease.
