Abstract

Objectives: To understand the educational needs and preferences of young clinicians and physician researchers in the field of rheumatology in Europe. Methods: An international online survey was performed as a joint venture of ESCET and EMEUNET. The survey assessed the acceptance of and the access to the current European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) educational portfolio, as well as the unmet educational needs and learning preferences among individuals below the age of 40 years working in rheumatology in Europe. Results: Among 568 European clinicians and physician researchers, 65% indicated that the existing EULAR educational portfolio adequately covers their educational needs. Within the EULAR portfolio, the online course on rheumatic diseases and the postgraduate course were the most appreciated. Participants were very much in favour of new educational courses on imaging techniques, and 63% of participants indicated a particular interest in musculoskeletal ultrasound. A strong interest in refresher (60%) and general review (55%) courses was observed. Lack of funding was considered the major obstacle to participating in existing EULAR programmes. Finally, participants showed diverse preferences regarding learning modalities with common interests in live courses and conferences. Conclusions: EULAR's training opportunities are well appreciated among young clinicians and physician researchers in rheumatology. The results from this survey will help to develop EULAR's future educational portfolio.

Abstract

Background: Induced sputum (IS) is a noninvasive tool, which can be used to collect cellular and soluble materials from lung airways. Objective: To evaluate if IS may be a useful and safe tool for the detection of airway inflammation in patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD) in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods: Sixty-eight patients with SSc and ILD as well as 18 healthy individuals (controls) were selected and submitted to IS examination. In 34 of 68 patients with SSc, bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) was also performed. Safety of IS was assessed by comparison of forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity ratio and peak expiratory flow before and after the IS procedure. Cell composition in samples collected by BAL and IS was correlated, and IS total and differential cell count in SSc patients and controls were compared. Results: The total number of cells was significantly higher in IS samples of SSc patients compared to those of healthy controls. Mean percentage of neutrophils was also higher in SSc patients (41.79 ± 23.89 vs. 27.37 ± 17.90), as well as lymphocytes (17.42 ± 19.70 vs. 3.13 ± 2.28) and eosinophils (2.35 ± 4.43 vs. 0.41 ± 0.46). On the other hand, mean percentage of macrophages was higher in healthy individuals (69.10 ± 19.15 vs. 36.96 ± 20.68). In fluid recovered by BAL, the most frequent cells were macrophages (67.89% ± 17.26), while neutrophils (14.77 ± 17.18%) and lymphocytes (15.62 ± 13.46%) were less frequent and eosinophils (1.66 ± 2.08%) were rare. A similar pattern of cell composition was found in IS samples (41.15 ± 21.67% of macrophages, 39.72 ± 23.15% of neutrophils, 15.28 ± 19.46% of lymphocytes and 2.56 ± 5.03% of eosinophils). Strength of correlation between BAL and IS was significant for macrophages and neutrophils. After IS procedure was performed, improvement of FEV1 (mean value before IS was 85.09 ± 14.44 and 88.93 ± 16.40 after IS) and FEV1/forced vital capacity (mean value before IS was 98.5
