Abstract (English): Objective: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) complain that weather conditions aggravate their symptoms. We investigated the short-term effects of weather conditions on worsening of RA and determined possible seasonal fluctuations. Methods: We conducted a case-crossover study in Madrid, Spain. Daily cases of RA flares were collected from the emergency room of a tertiary level hospital between 2004 and 2007. Results: 245 RA patients who visited the emergency room 306 times due to RA related complaints as the main diagnostic reason were included in the study. Patients from 50 to 65 years old were 16% more likely to present a flare with lower mean temperatures. Conclusions: Our results support the belief that weather influences rheumatic pain in middle aged patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Objetivo: Los pacientes con artritis reumatoide (AR) se quejan de que las condiciones meteorológicas empeoran sus síntomas. Este estudio trata de ver los efectos a corto plazo de las condiciones climáticas en empeoramiento sintomático en pacientes con AR y determinar posibles fluctuaciones estacionales. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio de casos cruzados en Madrid, España. Los casos diarios de empeoramiento de la AR se obtuvieron de la sala de urgencias de un hospital terciario entre 2004 y 2007. Resultados: 245 pacientes con AR con 306 visitas a urgencias con AR como diagnostico principal se incluyeron en el estudio. Los pacientes de 50 a 65 años tuvieron un 16% más de probabilidades de presentar empeoramiento sintomático de la AR con una menor temperatura media. Conclusiones: Nuestros resultados apoyan la creencia de que el clima influye en el dolor reumático de los pacientes con mediana edad. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
