20 patients enrolled immediately in Rheum iCMP

Selected iCMP nurses will receive a 4-hour training using unique educational materials already developed by our team that specifically address lupus-related racial, ethnic and socioeconomic disparities, as well as clinical information about lupus. These iCMP nurses will then reach out to high-risk lupus patients to ensure that patients attend scheduled rheumatology appointments, fill prescriptions for lupus-specific medications, and obtain recommended lupus screening labs and preventive care.

20 patients enrolled in Rheum iCMP after 4 months; will receive monthly lupus educational materials mailed to their home during the first 4 months

Participants enrolled in the control group will be recommended national exercise recommendations pertianing to engaging in 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity exercise five times per week.

Apart from these exercise sessions participants in this group will complete 3 separate evaluation sessions at the beginning, interim, and end of the study where they will be walking on a standard-of care treadmill for 30 minutes with blood draws at 0 and 30 minutes (only during beginning and end session), kinematic measure of gait parameters, measures of different cardiovascular parameters and cardiometabolic markers followed by thigh muscle strength testing.

Patients in this group will receive available exercise recommendations of 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week (30 minutes per day).

Exercise for Knee Osteoarthritis Recommendations (Control group)

Participants enrolled in the Lower-body positive-pressure (LBPP) supported low-load treadmill walking exercise will complete a total of two walking exercise sessions per week for a total of eight consecutive weeks (i.e. 16 exercise sessions in all). Each walking session will include 30-minute walking on a G-Trainer (AlterG Inc., Fremont, CA) under low-load walking conditions.

Apart from these exercise sessions participants in this group will complete 3 separate evaluation sessions at the beginning, interim, and end of the study where they will be walking on a standard-of care treadmill for 30 minutes with blood draws at 0 and 30 minutes (only during beginning and end session), kinematic measure of gait parameters, measures of different cardiovascular parameters and cardiometabolic markers followed by thigh muscle strength testing.

Participants enrolled in the aquatic exercise program will complete a total of two aquatic walking exercise sessions per week for a total of eight consecutive weeks (i.e. 16 exercise sessions in all). Each aquatic exercise program will include walking in the pool for 30 minutes at self-selected speeds under the guidance of an aquatic therapy instructor.

Apart from these exercise sessions participants in this group will complete 3 separate evaluation sessions at the beginning, interim, and end of the study where they will be walking on a standard-of care treadmill for 30 minutes with blood draws at 0 and 30 minutes (only during beginning and end session), kinematic measure of gait parameters, measures of different cardiovascular parameters and cardiometabolic markers followed by thigh muscle strength testing.

This intervention will help people with RA get tested for hyperlipidemia so that they can later discuss with their physician how to better treat their increased risk for cardiovascular disease.

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment for Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Participants in this group will not receive peer coaches calls. They will receive additional educational materials about CVD risk and the regular care provided by their doctors.

Each participant is assigned a coordinating rheumatology nurse. Based on an initial bio-psycho-social assessment, the nurse and the participant define up to five activities using the Patient Specific Functional Scale (PSFS) and agree on goals based on shared decision-making. The coordinating nurse provides self-management support in face-to-face, telephone or online consultations depending on the participant's needs during the following six months. At each face-to-face consultation with the nurse, the PSFS activities and the goals are evaluated. Each participant can get up to 2.5 hours of support from the nurse, up to 4 hours a physiotherapist and or occupational therapist, and 1 hour from a social worker. In addition, the coordinating nurse helps identify relevant offers in the participant's municipality. The coordinating nurse can plan up to two conferences with involved professionals. A final consultation with the coordinating nurse is held after the six-month intervention.

A coordinating rheumatology nurse who follows the participant for six months, goal setting and action planning with the nurse, opportunity for needs based support from a physiotherapist, an occupational therapist and a social worker, opportunity for interdisciplinary conferences to coordinate support to achieve the agreed upon goals and a final status consultation.

Interdisciplinary Nurse-coordinated self-management support for people with inflammatory arthritis and substantial disease impact

Usual care consists of planned consultations every 6-12 months by a rheumatologist or a rheumatology nurse and access to support from a rheumatology nurse by telephone. The planned consultations encompass review of blood tests, joint examinations, review of completed answers to questionnaires in DANBIO, adherence and evaluation of whether pharmacological adjustment is necessary. In addition, the planned nursing consultations sporadically encompass education in relation to management of the disease, symptoms and the pharmacological treatment. At the outpatient departments at the Danish Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases, Rigshospitalet-Glostrup and Frederiksberg Hospital, patients who have specific challenges can be offered an additional nursing consultation for non-pharmacological support. At Rigshospitalet-Glostrup it is also possible to refer a patient to see a physiotherapist and/ or an occupational therapist in the outpatient department.

An individualized rheumatoid arthritis self-management program for managing RA patients' physical behavioral problems was applied for the intervention group. The program was based on the self-efficacy theory and the four resources were incorporated to emphasize patients' knowledge, skill, and responsibility in managing their RA situations.

The intervention group received the rheumatoid arthritis self-management program which was based on Bandura's theory of self-efficacy and proposes that self-efficacy is influenced by four information sources: mastery of experience, social modeling, social persuasion and one's physical and emotional states. To enhance participants' self-management skill, the following strategies were employed: peer story-telling, assessment, family involvement, goal setting, self-monitoring, self-evaluation, and phone calls consultation.

rheumatoid arthritis self-management program

The control group received general information on rheumatoid arthritis care and follow-up.

The following investigations and treatments will be offered as associated with a comprehensive comorbidity clinic appointment with the primary care rheumatology family physician: Blood pressure, heart rate, height and weight measurement. Blood work (standard lipid panel, fasting plasma glucose or glycated hemoglobin (A1C), eGFR, and Lipoprotein a, Bone densitometry (if applicable to the patient/participant).

Vaccinations will be offered if applicable to the patient/participant according to Health Canada guidelines (Vaccination with Pneu-P-23, Pneu-C-13, herpes zoster and COVID-19 vaccine).

The participant will be booked with a primary care rheumatology family physician for rheumatoid arthritis comorbidity screening. They will complete weight, height, blood pressure measurement, assess for risk factors for dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, bone mineral density loss and vaccine preventable infectious diseases.
