RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Systemic immunomodulatory agents are indicated in the treatment of moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis. Perioperative use of these medications may increase the risk of surgical site infection (SSI) and complication. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the risk of SSI and complication in patients with chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease receiving immunomodulatory agents (tumor necrosis factor-alfa [TNF-α] inhibitors, interleukin [IL] 12/23 inhibitor, IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen-4 costimulator, phosphodiesterase-4 inhibitor, Janus kinase inhibitors, tyrosine kinase 2 inhibitor, cyclosporine (CsA), and methotrexate [MTX]) undergoing surgery. METHODS: We performed a search of the MEDLINE PubMed database of patients with chronic autoimmune inflammatory disease on immune therapy undergoing surgery. RESULTS: We examined 48 new or previously unreviewed studies; the majority were retrospective studies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease. CONCLUSION: For low-risk procedures, TNF-α inhibitors, IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, ustekinumab, abatacept, MTX, CsA, and apremilast can safely be continued. For intermediate- and high-risk surgery, MTX, CsA, apremilast, abatacept, IL-17 inhibitors, IL-23 inhibitors, and ustekinumab are likely safe to continue; however, a case-by-case approach is advised. Acitretin can be continued for any surgery. There is insufficient evidence to make firm recommendations on tofacitinib, upadacitinib, and deucravacitinib.

BACKGROUND: Paradoxical hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) induced by biologic agents (BA) is scarcely reported. OBJECTIVE: We sought to describe the clinical characteristics and outcome of patients developing paradoxical HS under BA. METHODS: This was a multicenter nationwide retrospective study asking physicians to report all cases of HS, confirmed by a dermatologist, occurring during treatment of an inflammatory disease by a BA. RESULTS: We included 25 patients (15 inflammatory rheumatism, 9 Crohn's disease, 1 psoriasis) treated by 5 BA (adalimumab = 12, infliximab = 6, etanercept = 4, rituximab = 2, tocilizumab = 1). Median duration of BA exposure before HS onset was 12 (range 1-120) months. Patients were mostly Hurley stage I (n = 13) or II (n = 11). Simultaneously to HS or within 1 year, 11 patients developed additional inflammatory diseases, including paradoxical reactions (psoriasis = 9, Crohn's disease = 3, alopecia areata = 1, erythema elevatum diutinum = 1). Complete improvement of HS was more frequently obtained after BA discontinuation or switch (n = 6/10, 60%) rather than maintenance (n = 1/14, 7%). Reintroducing the same BA resulted in HS relapse in 3 of 3 patients. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective nature and lack of complete follow-up for some patients are limitations. CONCLUSION: HS is a rare paradoxical adverse effect of BA, but fortuitous association cannot be excluded in some cases. We observed a trend toward better outcome when the BA was discontinued or switched.

BACKGROUND: Some studies have shown that switching patients from one tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alfa inhibitor to another may be beneficial when they have an inadequate response or an adverse event. OBJECTIVE: We sought to assess the variables predicting the efficacy of the second TNF-alfa inhibitor in patients discontinuing the first TNF-alfa inhibitor. METHODS: Data from all 5423 consecutive patients starting TNF-alfa inhibitor therapy for psoriasis between September 2005 and September 2010 who were included in the Italian Psocare registry were analyzed. RESULTS: In 105 patients who switched to a second TNF-alfa inhibitor who had complete follow-up data, 75% improvement in the Psoriasis Area Severity Index score (PASI 75) was reached by 29% after 16 weeks and by 45.6% after 24 weeks. Patients who switched because of secondary loss of efficacy (loss of initial PASI 75 response) or adverse events/intolerance were more likely to reach PASI 75 than those who switched as a result of primary inefficacy (PASI 75 never achieved) (hazard ratio 2.7, 95% confidence interval 1.3-5.5 vs hazard ratio 2.0, 95% confidence interval 1.0-3.9 and 1, respectively). LIMITATIONS: There was a small number of patients with complete follow-up data. CONCLUSION: PASI 75 response in patients who switched from one anti-TNF-alfa agent to another was significantly reduced in patients who showed primary inefficacy of the first anti-TNF-alfa.
