Article Abstract

Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most prevalent leukemia in the Western world, predominantly affecting older individuals. Advances in targeted therapies have extended survival, shifting the clinical focus toward the management of chronic health challenges. Patients with CLL often experience immune dysfunction due to both the disease and its treatments, resulting in an increased susceptibility to infections and second primary malignancies. This review outlines evidence-based strategies for preventive care in CLL, including age-appropriate cancer screenings, routine immunizations, and lifestyle modifications. By emphasizing proactive health maintenance, this article aims to support clinicians in delivering comprehensive, long-term care for patients with CLL.

Objective: To evaluate the clinical characteristics, social deprivation, insurance coverage, and medication use across regional subsets of patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) in the US.

Methods: A cross-sectional study of PsA patients in the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) registry between January 2020 and March2023 was conducted. Distribution of high disease activity (HDA - RAPID3>12), high comorbidity (RxRisk ≥90 percentile), high Area Deprivation Index (ADI ≥80), insurance coverage, prednisone ≥10mg daily, and all DMARD therapies across geographic regions were evaluated.

Background: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis (SSc), particularly among Black patients. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are critical to screen for and monitor SSc-ILD. We examined whether race-specific and race-neutral PFT reference equations impact classification of restrictive lung disease (RLD) severity in Black and White patients with SSc.
