“…The level of high sensitivity C reactive protein and presence of synovitis are greater in patients with symptomatic HOA than without symptomatic HOA, so OA-related pain could result in part from low-grade inflammation. 22 23 As well, systemic inflammation promotes atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease development. 24 However, this observational cross-sectional study could not allow for determining a causal association between HOA and coronary heart disease and we did not have assessments of blood inflammatory biomarkers.…”

“…However, understanding how inflammatory features in individual hand joints change over time is important to determine if ultrasound is a valid measure of assessing response to treatment. In a longitudinal study of patients with hand OA, inflammatory features that included synovial thickening, effusion or a power Doppler ultrasonography signal were consistently present in most patients over a 3 month period; however, in individual joints, the inflammatory features changed over time, with persistent inflammatory features found in only 19% of the hand joints 104 . Further investigation in other study populations and over different time periods is recommended before ultrasound is used as the primary outcome measure in assessing treatment response in individuals hand joints.…”

“…Radiography still has a place in the research setting; however, which scoring methods to use is still debated and might depend on the objective of the study and the population studied (for example, patients with erosive versus patients with non-erosive forms of hand OA) 74,75 . Although radiography might have a low sensitivity in detecting features in early disease, the ability of this technique to detect hand OA progression over five years is similar to that of 1.0 Tesla MRI, although these imaging modalities do not always detect progression in the same joints 28 .…”

“…Musculoskeletal ultrasound (US) is booming in clinical practice for the diagnosis and evaluation of inflammatory lesions from inflammatory disorders, and it has been proven to be effective in the evaluation of bone erosions in musculoskeletal disease osteoarthritis (OA) (7), gout (8), and in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) (9). In RA, many studies have shown that US can detect more erosions than RX at the joint level, especially at an early stage of the disease, with higher sensitivity and specificity than RX when a CT scan is taken as the gold standard imaging method (10).…”
