Our case report submissions are currently open. If you're thinking of submitting a case report but you could do with some guidance, we have put together some handy prompts below which we hope will help.
Crystal Arthropathies:
- Do you have a case which highlights the challenge of managing Gout?
- Do you have a case which has been challenging in managing refractory gout due to multiple drug failures
- Have you had a case of gout complicated by other co morbidities including CKD. infection?
- Have you had any gout cases which have involved management from a multidisciplinary team?
- Do you have any cases of gout treated with biologics or unlicensed drugs e.g., uricosurics successfully?
Inflammatory Myopathies:
- Do you have a case that highlights the diagnostic challenge of distinguishing inflammatory myopathy from other neuromuscular or systemic conditions?
- Have you had a patient with inflammatory myopathy who has been particularly difficult to manage due to multiple immunosuppressive or biologic therapy failures?
- Do you have experience managing inflammatory myopathy cases associated with overlap syndromes (e.g. mixed connective tissue disease, systemic sclerosis), and what made them complex?
- Have you managed a case of statin-induced necrotizing myopathy or drug-related myopathy that presented similarly to idiopathic inflammatory myopathy?
- Do you have a case involving juvenile dermatomyositis or an atypical age presentation of inflammatory myopathy that posed unique diagnostic or treatment challenges?
- Do you have an example where multidisciplinary care (e.g. rheumatology, neurology, pulmonology, dermatology, physiotherapy) was pivotal in the management of inflammatory myopathy?
- Have you treated a case of inflammatory myopathy complicated by interstitial lung disease or other systemic organ involvement, and how did that impact your treatment plan?
- Do you have cases where monitoring disease activity or response to therapy has been particularly challenging (e.g. due to unreliable CK levels, imaging findings, or autoantibody profiles)?
- Have you encountered patients with inflammatory myopathy who presented with atypical or refractory skin manifestations (e.g. in dermatomyositis), and how did you address them?
Axial Spondyloarthropathies:
- Do you have a case which highlights the challenges of managing axial spondyloarthropathies (including ankylosing spondylitis, non-radiographic spondyloarthropathy, psoriatic spondylitis, other inflammatory spinal conditions)?
- Do have a case which has been challenging in managing due to multiple drug failures?
- Do you have any cases with associated comorbid conditions with axial spondyloarthropathies?
- Do you have any interesting abnormal/unusual imaging patterns with your axial spondyloarthropathy cases?
- Do you have any cases of axial spondyloarthropathy that has required a tailored treatment regime/multiple drug therapies including biologics?
- Do have any interesting biologic treated axial spondyloarthropathy cases that have proved to be particularly challenging?
- Do have any patients who have developed other organ complications associated with the axial spondyloarthropathy?
- Do have any cases of axial spondyloarthropathy that have been difficult to diagnose?
- Do you have any interesting axial spondyloarthropathy cases which has been difficult to monitor disease activity accurately and what steps were taken to work around this?
- Do you have any interesting/challenging cases of enthesitis/spondylitis related juvenile arthritis?
- Do have any cases where a particular multidisciplinary strategy has been required to manage their axial spondyloarthropathy?
- Do have any examples of non-pharmacological management which has been successful in axial spondyloarthropathy cases?
Case report submission will close on Friday 27 June. Submissions will be reviewed by a panel and your submission may be chosen to be an oral presentation, poster showcase presentation or a poster.
