A study published in RMD Open in 2024 found that systematic screening for multiple chronic conditions in patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases led to increased use of preventive medications and reduced hospitalizations. The study, conducted by Daien et al., involved comparing outcomes between patients who underwent the screening (exposed group) and those who did not (non-exposed group). The researchers concluded that proactive screening for multimorbidities can improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare utilization in this population. The findings highlight the importance of comprehensive care for individuals with inflammatory rheumatic diseases.
