Recomendaciones SER-SEPAR para el manejo de la enfermedad pulmonar intersticial difusa asociada a la artritis reumatoide. Parte 2: tratamiento / SER-SEPAR recommendations for the the management of rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease. Part 2: Treatment

Objetivo: Elaborar unas recomendaciones multidisciplinares para mejorar el manejo de la enfermedad pulmonar intersticial difusa asociada a la artritis reumatoide (EPID-AR). Métodos: Un panel de reumatólogos y neumólogos expertos identificó preguntas clínicas de investigación relevantes para el objetivo del documento. Se realizaron revisiones sistemáticas de la evidencia, que se graduó de acuerdo con los criterios del SIGN. Tras ello, se formularon las recomendaciones. Resultados: Se seleccionaron seis preguntas PICO, tres de las cuales específicamente evaluaron la seguridad y la eficacia de los glucocorticoides, fármacos de acción lenta moduladores de la enfermedad (FAME) sintéticos clásicos e inmunosupresores, FAME biológicos, FAME sintéticos dirigidos y antifibróticos en el tratamiento de los pacientes con EPID-AR. Se formularon un total de 12 recomendaciones específicas sobre este tema con base en la evidencia encontrada y/o consenso de expertos. Conclusiones: Se presenta el primer documento oficial SER-SEPAR de recomendaciones específicas para el abordaje terapéutico de la EPID-AR con el fin de ayudar en la toma de decisiones a los clínicos directamente implicados en su manejo.(AU)

Objective: To develop multidisciplinary recommendations to improve the management of rheumatoid arthritis-related interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD). Methods: Clinical research questions relevant to the objective of the document were identified by a panel of rheumatologists and pneumologists selected based on their experience in the field. Systematic reviews of the available evidence were conducted, and evidence was graded according to the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) criteria. Specific recommendations were made. Results: Six PICO questions were selected, three of which analysed the safety and effectiveness of glucocorticoids, classical synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) and other immunosuppressants, biological agents, targeted synthetic DMARDs, and antifibrotic therapies in the treatment of this complication. A total specific of 12 recommendations on this topic were formulated based on the evidence found and/or expert consensus. Conclusions: We present the first official SER-SEPAR document with specific recommendations for RA-ILD management developed to resolve some common clinical questions, reduce clinical healthcare variability, and facilitate decision-making for patients.(AU)

Resultados: Se seleccionaron seis preguntas PICO, tres de las cuales específicamente evaluaron la incidencia y la prevalencia de esta complicación, los factores de riesgo para su desarrollo, y los factores pronósticos de mortalidad y de progresión de la EPID-AR. Se formularon un total de 6 recomendaciones específicas sobre estos aspectos, estructuradas por pregunta, con base en la evidencia encontrada y/o consenso de expertos. Conclusiones: Se presenta el primer documento oficial SER-SEPAR de recomendaciones específicas para el abordaje la EPID-AR, con el fin de ayudar en la toma de decisiones a los clínicos directamente implicados en su manejo y aproximar la práctica asistencial a la mejor evidencia posible.(AU)

Results: Six PICO questions were selected, three of which analysed the incidence and prevalence of RA-ILD, associated risk factors, and predictors of progression and mortality. A total of 6 specific recommendations on these topics, structured by question, were formulated based on the evidence found and/or expert consensus. Conclusions: We present the first official SER-SEPAR document with specific recommendations for RA-ILD management developed to resolve some common clinical questions and facilitate decision-making for patients.(AU)
