N2 - Musculoskeletal ultrasound (MSUS) is often used to assess the presence of subclinical joint inflammation in arthralgia patients suspicious for progression to clinically apparent inflammatory arthritis (IA). Even though evidence-based guidelines for these patients are still absent, the presence or absence of subclinical joint inflammation often influences management decisions in daily practice (1). Indeed, subclinical inflammation has consistently shown to be a promising predictor for the development of IA in arthralgia patients and provides the opportunity to improve risk stratification. [...]
