Project description:ObjectiveRA and axial SpA have an important impact on patients' lives. The objective of this study was to explore the reporting of different aspects of that impact in publications, with a focus on differences between diseases and over time.MethodsA systematic literature review retrieved all articles reporting on the life impact of RA or axial radiographic SpA in adults published within the last 10 years and issued from European research. The data were classified into physical impact (including pain, functional assessment and fatigue), psychological impact (including psychological distress and coping) and social impact (including relationships, family and social life). The number of articles published over time was analysed by linear regression.ResultsIn all, 1352 abstracts were screened and 149 publications (40,056 patients) were analysed: 129 articles (86.5%) concerned RA and 16 (10.7%) concerned axial SpA. The mean number of articles reporting on the physical aspects of impact was 11.4 (s.d. 4.8) per 2-year period, but increased more than 2-fold (from 7 articles in 2001-3 to 15 in 2010-11), in particular due to recent publications on fatigue, whereas the number of articles on psychological aspects [mean 12.4 (s.d. 4.0)] decreased markedly after 2006. Publications reporting on social aspects [mean 8.2 (s.d. 4.1)] remained globally stable.ConclusionIn the era of biologics, there is an interest in the patient-perceived life impact of RA and axial SpA in the European literature, but the impact of RA has been the subject of greater exploration. There are clearly trends over time in the reporting of impact.

Project description:OBJECTIVES:To investigate changes in bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over a 10-year period. METHODS:Consecutive patients with early RA (symptom duration <12 months) were followed according to a structured programme and examined with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at inclusion and after 2, 5 and 10 years. Mean Z-scores over the study period were estimated using mixed linear effect models. Changes in Z-scores between follow-up visits were analysed using paired T-tests. RESULTS:At inclusion, 220 patients were examined with DXA. At the femoral neck, the mean Z-score over 10 years was -0.33 (95 % CI -0.57 to -0.08) in men and -0.07 (-0.22 to 0.08) in women. Men had significantly lower BMD at the femoral neck than expected by age at inclusion (intercept Z-score value -0.35; 95?% CI -0.61 to -0.09), whereas there was no such difference in women. At the lumbar spine, the mean Z-score over the study period for men was -0.05 (-0.29 to 0.19) and for women 0.06 (-0.10 to 0.21). In paired comparisons of BMD at different follow-up visits, femoral neck Z-scores for men decreased significantly from inclusion to the 5-year follow-up. After 5 years, no further reduction was seen. CONCLUSIONS:In this observational study of a limited sample, men with early RA had reduced femoral neck BMD at diagnosis, with a further significant but marginal decline during the first 5?years. Lumbar spine BMD Z-scores were not reduced in men or women with early RA. Data on 10-year follow-up were limited.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies have linked rheumatoid arthritis (RA) risk and disease activity with vitamin D-deficiency (low serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD)), but a causal role for vitamin D in RA is still unclear, with conflicting results from many previous studies, partly due to heterogeneity in study design and patient populations. In this study we aimed to (1) analyse serum 25OHD in early inflammatory arthritis, (2) compare 25OHD with disease activity and fatigue in early RA and (3) determine whether low 25OHD is associated with progression to RA.MethodsAn analysis of 790 patients recruited to the Birmingham Early Inflammatory Arthritis Cohort and followed longitudinally to determine clinical outcomes. The following were recorded at baseline: demographic data, duration of symptoms, duration of early morning stiffness (EMS), tender and swollen joint counts, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain/fatigue/EMS, PHQ-9, HAQ and FACIT-Fatigue scores, DAS28-ESR, DAS28-CRP, CRP, ESR, anti-CCP antibody status, rheumatoid factor status, and serum 25OHD (ng/ml). Diagnosis was recorded at 0 and 12 months onwards as either RA, Undifferentiated Inflammatory Arthritis (UIA; synovitis not meeting other classification/diagnostic criteria), Clinically Suspect Arthralgia (CSA; arthralgia of an inflammatory type without synovitis), or Other.ResultsBaseline demographic data were similar between all groups, with median symptom duration of 16.8-34.0 days. Baseline 25OHD was not significantly different between groups [median, interquartile range (IQR): RA 46.7, 30.0-73.3; UIA 51.4, 30.0-72.3; CSA 47.7, 30.3-73.0; Other 39.9, 28.6-62.2]. In RA (n = 335), there were no significant differences between 25OHD and measures of disease activity or fatigue. No association between 25OHD and progression from UIA or CSA to RA was observed.ConclusionsThere was no clear association between serum 25OHD and baseline diagnosis, RA disease activity, or progression from UIA or CSA to RA. Future studies of other vitamin D metabolites may better define the complex role of vitamin D in RA.

Project description:Vitamin D has been reported to influence physiological systems that extend far beyond its established functions in calcium and bone homeostasis. Prominent amongst these are the potent immunomodulatory effects of the active form of vitamin D, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3). The nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR) for 1,25-(OH)2D3 is expressed by many cells within the immune system and resulting effects include modulation of T cell phenotype to suppress pro-inflammatory Th1 and Th17 CD4+ T cells and promote tolerogenic regulatory T cells. In addition, antigen-presenting cells have been shown to express the enzyme 1?-hydroxylase that converts precursor 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25-OHD3) to 1,25-(OH)2D3, so that immune microenvironments are able to both activate and respond to vitamin D. As a consequence of this local, intracrine, system, immune responses may vary according to the availability of 25-OHD3, and vitamin D deficiency has been linked to various autoimmune disorders including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The aim of this review is to explore the immune activities of vitamin D that impact autoimmune disease, with specific reference to RA. As well as outlining the mechanisms linking vitamin D with autoimmune disease, the review will also describe the different studies that have linked vitamin D status to RA, and the current supplementation studies that have explored the potential benefits of vitamin D for prevention or treatment of RA. The overall aim of the review is to provide a fresh perspective on the potential role of vitamin D in RA pathogenesis and treatment.

Project description:Background:This research describes the incidence and factors associated with opportunistic infections in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs). Methods:A retrospective longitudinal study was carried out from 2007 to 2018. We included RA patients treated with a tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-targeted bDMARD or non-TNF-targeted bDMARD from the start of bDMARDs. An independent variable was the development of an indicator of opportunistic infection after biological (IOIb) treatment. Secondary variables included sociodemographic, clinical, and treatments. We used survival techniques to estimate the incidence of IOIb, per 1000 patient-years (95% CI). We performed a Cox multivariate regression analysis model to compare the risk of IOIb. Results were expressed as a hazard ratio (HR). Results:A total of 441 RA patients were included, that started 761 different courses of bDMARDs. A total of 81% were women with a mean age at first bDMARD of 57.3?±?14 years. A total of 71.3% of the courses were TNF-targeted bDMARDs and 28.7% were non-TNF-targeted bDMARDs. There were 37 IOIb (25 viral, 6 fungal, 5 bacterial, 1 parasitic). Nine of these required hospitalization and one died. The global incidence of IOIb was 23.2 (16.8-32). TNF-targeted bDMARDs had 25 IOIb, incidence 20.5 (13.9-30.4), and non-TNF-targeted bDMARDs had 12 IOIb, incidence 31.7 (18-55.9). In the multivariate analysis, glucocorticosteroids (HR 2.17, p?=?0.004) and lower lymphocyte count increased the risk for IOIb (HR 0.99, p?=?0.005). Conclusions:The incidence of IOIb due to bDMARDs was 23 cases per 1000 patient-years. Close monitoring should be taken in the RA patients treated with bDMARDs and glucocorticosteroids, mainly in elderly patients and those with a low total lymphocyte count at the beginning of bDMARD treatment.

Project description:In the last few decades, strategies for the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been increasingly oriented toward more comprehensive control of the disease, taking into account even RA extra-articular manifestations, comorbidities, and the patient's perception about the disease. The need for improving the shared decision-making process suggested by European League Against Rheumatism recommendations is leading to an increasing interest in the role of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) beside the usual more objective criteria for defining clinical response based on disease-activity composite indices. Measurement of such PROs as pain or fatigue may be significantly influenced by mood disorders often complicating RA, the pathogenesis of which is deeply interconnected with phlogistic processes mediated by proinflammatory cytokines. IL6 is a pleiotropic mediator involved in neuroendocrine and neuropsychological processes, besides its well known effects on immune, cardiovascular, and metabolic systems. Therefore, there is a growing body of evidence about the efficacy of IL6 blockade in PRO improvement in RA patients. Sarilumab is a monoclonal antibody binding both soluble and membrane-bound IL6R?, inhibiting the IL6-mediated signaling pathway with favorable efficacy and safety profile. This review analyzes the importance of PROs in strategies for the management of RA and the pathogenic mechanisms linking IL6 with the patient's perception of the disease. Moreover, the main findings from sarilumab randomized controlled trials are summarized in detail, emphasizing the potential role of this IL6 blocker in the holistic treatment of RA.

Project description:Calciphylaxis has high mortality. Vitamin K deficiency is common in haemodialysis patients and may be a trigger for calciphylaxis due to its role in activating a tissue inhibitor of calcification, matrix Gla protein. We report a second case of a female haemodialysis patient who developed calciphylaxis twice and was successfully treated with vitamin K supplementation on both occasions. She did not receive sodium thiosulphate or bisphosphonates nor was there a change made to her dialysis time or prescription. This case highlights how supplementation with vitamin K may improve the outcome of this condition.
