Artificial intelligence in rheumatology research: what is it good for?

RMD open
Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming rheumatology research, with a myriad of studies aiming to improve diagnosis, prognosis and treatment prediction, while also showing potential capability to optimise the research workflow, improve drug disc...

Large language models for accurate disease detection in electronic health records: the examples of crystal arthropathies.

RMD open
OBJECTIVES: We propose and test a framework to detect disease diagnosis using a recent large language model (LLM), Meta's Llama-3-8B, on French-language electronic health record (EHR) documents. Specifically, it focuses on detecting gout ('goutte' in...

Identification of a machine learning-based diagnostic model for axial spondyloarthritis in rheumatological routine care using a random forest approach.

RMD open
OBJECTIVES: In axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), early diagnosis is crucial, but diagnostic delay remains long and diagnostic criteria do not exist. We aimed to identify a diagnostic model that distinguishes patients with axSpA from patients without a...

Deep learning-based classification of erosion, synovitis and osteitis in hand MRI of patients with inflammatory arthritis.

RMD open
OBJECTIVES: To train, test and validate the performance of a convolutional neural network (CNN)-based approach for the automated assessment of bone erosions, osteitis and synovitis in hand MRI of patients with inflammatory arthritis.

Natural language processing to identify and characterize spondyloarthritis in clinical practice.

RMD open
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to use a novel technology based on natural language processing (NLP) to extract clinical information from electronic health records (EHRs) to characterise the clinical profile of patients diagnosed with spondyloarthritis (S...

Machine learning identifies risk factors associated with long-term opioid use in fibromyalgia patients newly initiated on an opioid.

RMD open
OBJECTIVES: Fibromyalgia is frequently treated with opioids due to limited therapeutic options. Long-term opioid use is associated with several adverse outcomes. Identifying factors associated with long-term opioid use is the first step in developing...

Neural networks for automatic scoring of arthritis disease activity on ultrasound images.

RMD open
BACKGROUND: The development of standardised methods for ultrasound (US) scanning and evaluation of synovitis activity by the OMERACT-EULAR Synovitis Scoring (OESS) system is a major step forward in the use of US in the diagnosis and monitoring of pat...
