Breastfeeding Intensity and Duration and Growth Trajectories in GDM Exposed Infants: The SWIFT Study.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disease marked by joint inflammation, joint erosions, and functional limitations. Control of disease activity can often be achieved with consistent medical management with disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs and treat‐to‐target regimens. However, functional limitations remain common, even when disease activity is well‐controlled., Exercise and rehabilitation (ie, physical therapy [PT] and occupational therapy [OT]) interventions are specifically indicated to improve functional status in individuals with RA., , Yet, exercise participation, and rehabilitation utilization, rates are low among adults with RA. Adults with RA may not consistently learn about exercise and rehabilitation from their rheumatologist. Although adults with RA desire exercise recommendations from a trusted expert who understands RA, they also lack confidence that rheumatology clinicians are knowledgeable about exercise guidance., Existing treatment guidelines provide broad support for exercise and rehabilitation, but the lack of prescriptive guidance may leave rheumatologists uncertain on how to provide exercise recommendations or when to refer to rehabilitation., Although measures of functional status are recommended in routine care, there is currently no guidance on how to use functional status measures to determine need for rehabilitation in RA. Strategies to systematically integrate exercise recommendations and rehabilitation referrals into routine rheumatology care are needed to address functional limitations and maintain quality of life for adults with RA.
