Recomendaciones SER sobre la gestión de riesgo del tratamiento con FAME biológicos o sintéticos dirigidos en pacientes con artritis reumatoide / Recommendations by the Spanish Society of Rheumatology on risk management of biological treatment and JAK inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Objetivo: Elaborar recomendaciones basadas en la evidencia disponible y el consenso de expertos, para la gestión del riesgo del tratamiento biológico y los inhibidores de las JAK en pacientes con artritis reumatoide. Métodos: Se identificaron preguntas clínicas de investigación relevantes para el objetivo del documento. Estas preguntas fueron reformuladas en formato PICO (paciente, intervención, comparación, outcome o desenlace) por un panel de expertos, seleccionados en base a su experiencia en el área. Se realizó una revisión sistemática de la evidencia, graduándose de acuerdo a los criterios GRADE (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). A continuación, se formularon las recomendaciones específicas. Resultados: Se propusieron por el panel de expertos 6preguntas PICO en base a su relevancia clínica y a la existencia de información reciente referentes al riesgo de aparición de infecciones graves, el riesgo de reactivación del virus de la hepatitisB, el riesgo de reactivación del virus varicela-zoster, el riesgo de aparición de cáncer de piel (melanoma y no melanoma) o hematológico, el riesgo de aparición de enfermedad tromboembólica y el riesgo de progresión del virus del papiloma humano. Se formularon un total de 29 recomendaciones, estructuradas por pregunta, basadas en la evidencia encontrada y el consenso de los expertos. Conclusiones: Se presentan las recomendaciones SER sobre la gestión del riesgo del tratamiento con terapias biológicas e inhibidores de las JAK en la artritis reumatoide.(AU)

Objective: To present recommendations based on the available evidence and the consensus of experts, for risk management of biological treatment and JAK inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: Clinical research questions relevant to the purpose of the document were identified. These questions were reformulated in PICO format (patient, intervention, comparison, outcome) by a panel of experts, selected based on their experience in the area. A systematic review of the evidence was carried out, grading according to the GRADE criteria (Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation). Specific recommendations were then formulated. Results: Six PICO questions were proposed by the panel of experts based on their clinical relevance and the existence of recent information regarding the risk of occurrence of serious infections, the risk of reactivation of the hepatitisB virus, the risk of reactivation of the virus varicella-zoster, the risk of appearance of skin (melanoma and non-melanoma) or hematological cancer, the risk of appearance of thromboembolic disease and the risk of progression of the human papilloma virus. A total of 29 recommendations were formulated, structured by question, based on the evidence found and the consensus of the experts. Conclusions: The SER recommendations on risk management of treatment with biologic therapies and JAK inhibitors in rheumatoid arthritis are presented.(AU)
