Patient self-reported experience and satisfaction with golimumab and etanercept treatments for rheumatic diseases: A cohort study. Medicine (Baltimore) 2024; 103:e36982. [PMID: 38394542 PMCID: PMC11309713 DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000036982] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 12/22/2023] [Indexed: 02/25/2024] Open
Abstract
Golimumab and etanercept both exhibit good efficacy in treating rheumatic diseases, while the patient self-reported measurement of treatment improvement and injection experience lacks sufficient evidence. Hence, this study aimed to compare the satisfaction with disease improvement and injection experience and the level of injection site reactions (ISRs) between golimumab-treated and etanercept-treated patients with rheumatic diseases. A total of 312 patients with rheumatic diseases were serially enrolled. Among them, 158 patients received golimumab (golimumab group); the other 154 patients were treated with etanercept (etanercept group) according to the actual disease status, physician advice, and patient willingness. Satisfaction with disease improvement was assessed using the 7-point Likert scale; satisfaction with injection experience and level of ISRs were both determined by the 5-point Likert scale. Satisfaction degrees with global injection experience (P = .025), injection device (P = .008), injection frequency (P = .010), and injection convenience (P = .003) were superior in the golimumab group to the etanercept group, while satisfaction degrees with global disease improvement, symptom relief, and speed of action did not vary (all P > .050) between the 2 groups. Discomfort (P = .005), swelling (P < .001), pain (P = .028), and burning (P = .035) levels were lower in the golimumab group than in the etanercept group. In addition, among 56 patients with a history of tumor necrosis factor inhibitor treatment before golimumab, 40 (71.4%) patients preferred golimumab to other tumor necrosis factor inhibitor. After switching to golimumab treatment, the level of ISRs in most patients was reduced or comparable. Golimumab achieves a satisfying injection experience and relieves the level of ISRs over etanercept in patients with rheumatic diseases.

Guad RM, Carandang RR, Solidum JN, W. Taylor-Robinson A, Wu YS, Aung YN, Low WY, Sim MS, Sekaran SD, Azizan N. Different domains of dengue research in the Philippines: A systematic review and meta-analysis of questionnaire-based studies. PLoS One 2021; 16:e0261412. [PMID: 34929011 PMCID: PMC8687574 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0261412] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/25/2021] [Accepted: 12/01/2021] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
Background
Dengue is the most rapidly spreading mosquito-borne viral disease of humans worldwide, including southeast Asia region. This review provides a comprehensive overview of questionnaire-related dengue studies conducted in the Philippines and evaluates their reliability and validity in these surveys.
Methods
A review protocol constructed by a panel of experienced academic reviewers was used to formulate the methodology, research design, search strategy and selection criteria. An extensive literature search was conducted between March–June 2020 in various major electronic biomedical databases including PubMed, EMBASE, MEDLINE and ScienceDirect. A systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA) were selected as the preferred item reporting method.
Results
Out of a total of 34 peer-reviewed dengue-related KAP studies that were identified, 15 published from 2000 to April 2020 met the inclusion criteria. Based on the meta-analysis, a poor mean score was obtained for each of knowledge (68.89), attitude (49.86) and preventive practice (64.69). Most respondents were equipped with a good knowledge of the major clinical signs of dengue. Worryingly, 95% of respondents showed several negative attitudes towards dengue prevention, claiming that this was not possible and that enacting preventive practices was not their responsibility. Interestingly, television or radio was claimed as the main source of gaining dengue information (range 50–95%). Lastly, only five articles (33.3%) piloted or pretested their questionnaire before surveying, of which three reported Cronbach’s alpha coefficient (range 0.70 to 0.90).
Conclusion
This review indicates that to combat the growing public health threat of dengue to the Philippines, we need the active participation of resident communities, full engagement of healthcare personnel, promotion of awareness campaigns, and access to safe complementary and alternative medicines. Importantly, the psychometric properties of each questionnaire should be assessed rigorously.

Minarti M, Anwar C, Irfannuddin I, Irsan C. Community Knowledge and Attitudes about the Transmission of Dengue Haemorrhagic Fever and Its Relationship to Prevention Behaviour in Palembang, South Sumatra, Indonesia. Open Access Maced J Med Sci 2021. [DOI: 10.3889/oamjms.2021.7693] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/05/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND: PSN 3 M Plus is a long-running program in Indonesia for the prevention and control of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF).
AIM: This study aimed to determine the knowledge, behavior, attitudes, and beliefs of the community toward PSN 3 M Plus in preventing and controlling the spread of DHF.
METHODS: A cluster random sampling method was used to recruit 200 respondents in endemic areas and 100 respondents in sporadic locations of Indonesia from August 2020 to February 2021. The respondents were interviewed directly by interviewers and the relationships between demographics and characteristics with the practice of PSN 3M Plus prevention behavior on the incidence of DHF were analyzed.
RESULTS: Most respondents had good knowledge regarding the cause of DHF. Although respondents recognized and understood the dangers of and how to control DHF, most did not follow PSN 3 M Plus and believed that fogging was the most effective control measure. There was a significant relationship between the characteristics of the respondents in terms of education, occupation, and attitude on vector control practice.
CONCLUSION: Although community environmental modifications can be a cost-effective approach to reduce the incidence of DHF, there is a need to raise public awareness regarding preventive vector control measures as good knowledge does not guarantee good compliance with PSN 3M Plus recommendations.
