'Segoe UI', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif, 'Apple Color Emoji', 'Segoe UI Emoji', 'Segoe UI Symbol';font-size: 17px\" aria-label=\"Content\"><\/header>\n<div class=\"entry-content\" style=\"margin-top:

style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">A consultant rheumatologist, Dr Hakeem Olaosebikan, says early diagnosis and initiation of effective treatment have been shown to improve clinical outcomes for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Olaosebikan who works at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/broadnews\/2022\/02\/21\/lagos-state-govt-reveals-plan-to-attract-medical-tourist-through-n49bn-medical-park\/\"><strong>Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH)<\/strong><\/a>, Ikeja, said this during a virtual rheumatology awareness media roundtable organised by Pfizer Biopharmaceutical on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">RA is a systemic autoimmune disease which is characterised by chronic inflammation of the joints.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Patients with RA present with pain, stiffness and warmth of the affected joints, and the disease may lead to disability or premature death, if not treated early and appropriately.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Olaosebikan said it had become imperative to raise awareness about rheumatology, as well as, enlighten the public about management of rheumatoid arthritis to prevent disease progression.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">He noted that rheumatoid arthritis was the commonest autoimmune arthritis in Nigeria.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">According to him, one or two patients are diagnosed weekly with the disease in most tertiary hospitals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">He noted that early diagnosis was critical to delaying disease progression and averting the development of irreversible joint damage and functional disability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Olaosebikan said the disease poses physical, psychological, and economic burdens for affected patients, their families and the healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cAdequate treatment is also important to try to prevent or lessen the severity of comorbidities, particularly cardiovascular disease, which is still a major cause of mortality in these patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cApart from treating the rheumatoid disease, the patient should ideally be treated by a multidisciplinary team to address many other associations of this disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cThey range from psychological help with anxiety and depression to guidance with physical therapy by physiotherapists or biokineticists and help with activities of daily living by occupational therapists,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Olaosebikan, however, noted that most patients present late for treatment due to a lack of access to rheumatology care and rheumatology experts who were few in the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">The rheumatologist added that laboratory diagnostic processes were also a challenge to early diagnosis of the disease, as most of the tests were done outside the country.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">He called for deepening of diagnostic testing capacity and broadening health insurance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Olaosebikan noted that Biologics which constitute the main treatment for the disease was unaffordable for most people without insurance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">He appealed for increased government focus on the disease and the need to evolve and pass patient friendly legislatures.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">He advised people to reduce calorie and salt intake, maintain healthy weight, avoid smoking and ensure regular exercise to strengthen joint mobility.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Also, Dr Uyiekpan Ima-Edomwonyi, a rheumatologist at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), said that emerging data had shown that the burden of rheumatoid arthritis would increase in most developing countries.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Ima-Edomwonyi said that factors that would drive the disease burden includes lifestyle, weight, smoking and alcohol consumption which predisposed to musculoskeletal disorders.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cAn increase in rheumatoid arthritis occurrence could stress medical services that are already struggling with a high burden of acute infectious illness to an extent that they may be unable to cope with the fast-changing patterns of disease distribution seen in Africa today,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Olaosebikan advised healthcare professionals and rheumatologists to identify rheumatoid arthritis early and commence appropriate therapy quickly.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Similarly, Dr Kodjo Soroh, Country Medical Director, Pfizer East and West Africa, said rheumatoid arthritis remains one of the most common rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMDs) in the region.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">Soroh noted that there was hope, as Pfizer aims to continue raising awareness around the treatments available for the disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cWe want to work closely with the healthcare community to ensure early diagnosis, increased patient access and medication adherence.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cThere is Project Afya, a patient assistance programme, aimed at improving access to life-saving medications and boosting cancer care and autoimmune disease management.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0px;padding: 0px;border: 0px\">\u201cThe platform, in partnership with IQVIA, is helping to reduce therapy costs for eligible patients as rheumatologists identify patients for enrolment into the programme,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A consultant rheumatologist, Dr Hakeem Olaosebikan, says early diagnosis and initiation of effective treatment have been shown to
