ABSTRACT

Objectives: To describe the prevalence of comorbidities in patients with RA in Spain and discuss their management and implications using data from the Spanish cohort of the multinational study on COMOrbidities in Rheumatoid Arthritis (COMORA). Methods: This is a national sub-analysis of the COMORA study. We studied the demographics and disease characteristics of 200 adults patients diagnosed with RA (1987 ACR), and routine practices for screening and preventing the following selected comorbidities: cardiovascular, infections, cancer, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, osteoporosis and depression. Results: Patients had a mean age of 58 years and a mean RA duration of 10 years. Mean DAS28 score was 3.3 and approximately 25% of patients were in remission (DAS28 <2.6). Forty-four (22%) patients had ≥1 comorbidity, the most frequent being depression (27%) and obesity (26%). A history of myocardial infarction or stroke was observed in 5% and 1% of patients, respectively, and any solid tumor in 6%. Having a Framingham Risk Score >20% (51%), hypercholesterolemia (46%) or hypertension (41%) and smoking (25%) were the most common CV risk factors. For prostate, colon and skin cancers, only 9%, 10% and 18% of patients, respectively, were optimally monitored. Infections were also inadequately managed, with 7% and 17% of patients vaccinated against influenza and pneumococcal, respectively, as was osteoporosis, with 47% of patients supplemented with vitamin D and 56% with a bone densitometry performed. Conclusions: In Spain, the prevalence of comorbidities and CV risk factors in RA patients with established and advanced disease is relatively high, and their management in clinical daily practice remains suboptimal


Objetivos: Describir la prevalencia de comorbilidades en pacientes con AR en España y discutir sobre su manejo en la clínica diaria utilizando los datos de la cohorte española del estudio internacional COMORA. Métodos: Subanálisis nacional del estudio COMORA en el que se analizaron las características demográficas y clínicas de 200 pacientes con AR (1987 ACR) y las prácticas rutinarias para el cribado y la prevención de eventos cardiovasculares (CV), gastrointestinales y pulmonares, infecciones, cáncer, osteoporosis y depresión. Resultados: Los pacientes tenían una edad media de 58 años, una duración media de la enfermedad de 10 años, un DAS28 de 3,3 y el 25% estaba en remisión (DAS28 <2,6). El 22% de los pacientes presentaba al menos una comorbilidad, principalmente depresión (27%) y obesidad (26%). El 5% tenía historia de infarto de miocardio, el 1% de ictus y el 6% de tumor sólido. Una puntuación de Framingham >20% (51%), tener hipercolesterolemia (46%), hipertensión (41%) y fumar (25%) fueron los factores de riesgo CV más comunes. En relación con el cáncer de próstata, colon y piel, solo el 9, 10 y el 18% de los pacientes, respectivamente, estaban óptimamente controlados. Las infecciones tampoco se manejaban de forma óptima, con solo el 7 y el 17% de los pacientes vacunados contra la influenza y neumococo, respectivamente, al igual que la osteoporosis, con el 47% suplementados con la vitamina D y el 56% con una densitometría realizada. Conclusiones: En España, la prevalencia de comorbilidades y factores de riesgo CV en pacientes con AR establecida y avanzada es relativamente alta, y su manejo en la clínica diaria continúa siendo subóptimo

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To develop/validate an instrument to measure health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA), for use in clinical studies. METHODS: An item pool of 35 items was generated following standardized procedures. Item reduction was performed using clinimetric and psychometric approaches after administration to 66 patients with PsA. The resulting instrument, the VITACORA-19, consists of 19 items. Its validity content, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, known groups/convergent validity, and sensitivity to change were tested in a longitudinal and multicenter study conducted in 10 hospitals in Spain, with 323 patients who also completed the EuroQol 5-dimensional questionnaire (EQ-5D) and a health status transition item. There were 3 study groups: group A (n = 209, patients with PsA), group B (n = 71, patients with arthritis without psoriatic aspect, patients with arthrosis, and patients with dermatitis), and group C (n = 43, healthy controls). RESULTS: The questionnaire was considered easy/very easy to answer by 94.7% of the patients with PsA. The factorial analysis clearly identified only 1 factor. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and interclass correlation coefficients exceeded 0.90. Statistically significant differences (p < 0.001) were observed between groups: subjects from group C had better HRQoL, followed by group B, and finally group A had the worst HRQoL. The VITACORA-19 scores showed significant correlations (p < 0.001) to PsA disease activity, EQ-5D, and perceived health state, scoring the patients with better health state higher. The minimum important difference was established as an 8-point change in the global score. CONCLUSION: The Spanish-developed VITACORA-19, designed to measure HRQoL in patients with PsA, has good validity, reliability, and sensitivity to change.

ABSTRACT

Objetivo. Describir las características de los pacientes en tratamiento para la osteoporosis que no recibirían dicho tratamiento basándose en los resultados del FRAX®. Diseño. Estudio observacional descriptivo transversal. Emplazamiento. Atención Primaria - Centro de Especialidades de Toledo. Participantes. Pacientes diagnosticados de osteoporosis en tratamiento con fármacos antirresortivos, osteoformadores o mixtos vistos en las consultas de Reumatología (Metabolismo Óseo) en abril y mayo de 2009. Intervenciones. Revisión de historias clínicas obteniendo los datos del momento en que se inició el tratamiento antiosteoporótico, aplicando el índice de riesgo FRAX® con y sin densitometría (en los casos en que la tengan). Mediciones y resultados. 99 pacientes (88,9% mujeres), edad media (± desviación estándar) 62,3 ± 9,33 años. 62,6% presentaban un índice FRAX® < 20%/3%, siendo más jóvenes (58,95 vs. 67,92 años; p<0,001), y sin diferencias por sexo e IMC. Los pacientes “FRAX® (-)” tenían menor porcentaje de fracturas previas (33,9% vs. 83,8%; p<0,001), sobre todo vertebrales y de húmero, en menor número (0,55 vs. 1,75; p<0,001) y a edad más temprana (54,88 vs. 63 años; p=0,02). Además, tenían una puntuación T en cuello femoral superior (-1,87 vs. -2,50; p<0,001). La probabilidad de fractura a 10 años era menor en los pacientes “FRAX® (-)” sin densitometría (4,18% vs. 12,72% en fractura osteoporótica mayor; p<0,001; 0,91% vs. 5,43% en fractura de cadera; p<0,001) y con densitometría (4,70 vs. 14,30 en fractura osteoporótica mayor; p<0,001; 1,14 vs. 6,62 en fractura de cadera; p<0,01). La densitometría no afecta significativamente el porcentaje de pacientes que supera el límite del 20%/3%. Conclusiones. La herramienta FRAX® puede tener relativa utilidad en Atención Primaria, especialmente en aquellos pacientes sin osteoporosis densitométrica o establecida. Sin embargo, no parece que el criterio de coste-efectividad obtenido por los anglosajones pueda adoptarse de forma directa y única en nuestro medio (AU)


Aim. To describe the characteristics of the patients treated for osteoporosis that could not been treated according to FRAX® scores. Design. Observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Setting. Primary Care – Toledo Speciality Centre. Participants. Outpatients with osteoporosis diagnosis treated with antirresortive, osteogenic or mixed drugs and visited in Rheumatology Service (Bone Metabolism) in april-may 2009. Intervention. Clinical charts review extracting the data from the antiosteoporotic treatment starting date, and applying the FRAX® risk index with and without bone densitometry (in that patients with it). Measurements and results. 99 patients (88.9% women), medium age (± standard deviation) 62.3 ± 9.33 years old. 62.6% had a FRAX® index <20%/3%; these patients were younger (58.95 vs. 67.92 years old) than those with a FRAX® ≥20%/3%, with neither gender nor BMI differences. “FRAX® (-)” patients had less previous fractures (33.9% vs. 83.8%; p<0.001), specially from spine and humerus; these patients also had a smaller fracture number (0.55 vs. 1.75; p<0.001), and their fractures were produced at a younger age (54.88 vs. 63% years old; p=0.02). Also, their T-score of hip was bigger (-1.87 vs. -2.50; p<0.001). The 10-year probability of fracture was smaller in the “FRAX® (-)” patients without densitometry (4.18% vs. 12.72% in major osteoporotic fracture; p<0.001; 0.91% vs. 5.43% in hip fracture; p<0.001) and with it (4.70% vs. 14.30% in major osteoporotic fracture; p<0.001; 1.14% vs. 6.62% in hip fracture; p<0.01). Bone densitometry does not significantly affect the percentage of patients that surpass the 20%/3% limit. Conclusions. The FRAX® tool can be relatively useful in Primary Care, especially in those patients without densitometry or established osteoporosis. However, the NOF cost-effectivity criteria cannot be adopted directly in our environment (AU)

ABSTRACT

Fundamento: Se dispone de escasa información clínica sobre la enfermedad de Paget obtenida de forma sistemática a partir de fuentes originales. La hipótesis que indica que se están produciendo cambios seculares en ciertas características refuerza la necesidad de actualizar este tipo de información. Objetivo: Definir las características generales, la topografía y las manifestaciones clínicas de la enfermedad en un grupo de pacientes seguidos en una consulta monográfica. Pacientes y métodos: Cohorte constituida por 233 pacientes revisados de forma sistemática desde 1992, según un protocolo clinicoepidemiológico. Una vez codificadas, las variables se registraban en una base de datos ad hoc creada a partir del programa EPI-6. Se calculó la extensión de las lesiones (índice de Coutris) mediante las radiografías de los huesos que mostraban un depósito anómalo del trazador en la gammagrafía ósea. Se determinó la concentración de calcio, fósforo y fosfatasa alcalina total en suero (autoanalizador Hitachi 747) y de calcio y fósforo e hidroxiprolina (cromatografía líquida de alta densidad) en orina. Resultados: El 55 por ciento fueron varones; la media de edad (ñ DE) fue de 67,5 ñ 10,3 años (límites: 29-89); el 40 por ciento monostóticos. Las localizaciones más frecuentes fueron ilíaco, fémur, cráneo, vértebras lumbares y sacro. El promedio de focos fue de 3,01 ñ 3,08; extensión: 8,4 ñ 7,1. El 76 por ciento fueron sintomáticos (dolor óseo: 65 por ciento). La complicación más frecuente fue la coxopatía pagética (a menudo protrusiva). El síndrome craneal más frecuente fue la hipoacusia (49 por ciento), 34 fracturas en 30 pacientes (13 por ciento), y un caso de degeneración sarcomatosa. Fosfatasa alcalina: 905,9 ñ 800,6 U/l; hidroxiprolina: 77,2 ñ 66,5 mg/24 h. Conclusiones: La similitud entre las distintas series en cuanto a las características clínicas y topográficas de la enfermedad confieren una gran consistencia a estos datos a pesar de la diversidad de métodos empleados (AU)
