RESUMO

Introduction: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a heterogeneous disease in which therapeutic strategies used have evolved dramatically. Despite significant progress in treatment strategies such as the development of anti-TNF drugs, it is still not possible to differentiate those patients who will respond from who will not. This can lead to effective-treatment delays and unnecessary costs. The aim of this study was to utilize a profile of the patient's characteristics, clinical parameters, immune status (cytokine profile) and artificial intelligence to assess the feasibility of developing a tool that could allow us to predict which patients will respond to treatment with anti-TNF drugs. Methods: This study included 38 patients with RA from the RA-Paz cohort. Clinical activity was measured at baseline and after 6 months of treatment. The cytokines measured before the start of anti-TNF treatment were IL-1, IL-12, IL-10, IL-2, IL-4, IFNg, TNFa, and IL-6. Statistical analyses were performed using the Wilcoxon-Rank-Sum Test and the Benjamini-Hochberg method. The predictive model viability was explored using the 5-fold cross-validation scheme in order to train the logistic regression models. Results: Statistically significant differences were found in parameters such as IL-6, IL-2, CRP and DAS-ESR. The predictive model performed to an acceptable level in correctly classifying patients (ROC-AUC 0.804167 to 0.891667), suggesting that it would be possible to develop a clinical classification tool. Conclusions: Using a combination of parameters such as IL-6, IL-2, CRP and DAS-ESR, it was possible to develop a predictive model that can acceptably discriminate between remitters and non-remitters. However, this model needs to be replicated in a larger cohort to confirm these findings.

RESUMO

En el año 2015 la Sociedad Española de Reumatología (SER) publicó su posicionamiento sobre fármacos biosimilares. En esta actualización, la SER, sigue manifestando su compromiso inequívoco con la sostenibilidad del sistema sanitario de nuestro país y se alinea con las medidas que, sin reducir la calidad asistencial, estén encaminadas a asegurar su sostenibilidad. Desde la publicación del anterior posicionamiento la Comisión Europea ha autorizado la comercialización de nuevos fármacos biosimilares, lo que abre una excelente oportunidad de avanzar en la eficiencia de la atención sanitaria. En este nuevo escenario de incremento de la oferta terapéutica de biológicos, la SER considera imprescindible preservar la libertad de prescripción de los médicos que realizan la indicación de fármacos basándose exclusivamente en las características y circunstancias individuales de cada paciente, sin olvidar los aspectos económicos que se derivan de dicha actuación.(AU)

RESUMO

OBJETIVOS: Analizar las características clínicas y de metabolismo óseo de una serie de pacientes con fracturas vertebrales tras la suspensión de denosumab (DMab). MÉTODOS: Estudio observacional retrospectivo de 10 pacientes con fracturas vertebrales tras suspender DMab atendidas en el Servicio de Reumatología de un hospital español de tercer nivel entre 2015 y 2018. RESULTADOS: Se registraron un total de 49 fracturas espontáneas tras una media de 6 dosis de DMab y transcurridos 10,9 meses desde la suspensión del fármaco. El 90% había recibido tratamiento previo, 7 de 10 bisfosfonatos orales. Tras la suspensión, CTX y P1NP estaban elevados y la media de T-score en cuello femoral y columna lumbar fue menor que previo a DMab. Las vértebras más afectadas fueron L3, L5, D6, D7, D9 y D11. CONCLUSIÓN: La descripción de nuevos casos de fracturas vertebrales múltiples en los meses posteriores a la suspensión de DMab subraya la preocupación emergente en la comunidad científica siendo preciso apoyar en evidencias sólidas las nuevas recomendaciones sobre su manejo


OBJECTIVES: Analyse clinical and bone metabolism features in a case series of patients with multiple vertebral fractures after discontinuation of denosumab (DMab). METHODS: An observational descriptive study analysing data from ten patients with multiple vertebral fractures after DMab discontinuation that were admitted to our rheumatology department between 2015 and 2018. RESULTS: There were a total of 49 spontaneous fractures after an average of 6 DMab doses and 10.9 months from discontinuation. Ninety percent had already received treatment other than DMab 7 of 10 oral bisphosphonates. After discontinuation, CTX and P1NP remained elevated and mean T-score for femoral neck and lumbar spine was lower than before treatment. The most affected vertebrae were L3, L5, D6, D7, D9 and D11. CONCLUSION: This report of ten new cases suffering multiple vertebral fractures early after discontinuation of DMab highlights the emerging concern on the subject in the scientific community and the need to clarify its pathogenic mechanism, and to support by solid evidence the new recommendations on its management

RESUMO

OBJETIVO: Generar recomendaciones sobre el bloqueo de la interleucina 6 (IL-6) en pacientes con artritis reumatoide (AR), basadas en la mejor evidencia y experiencia. MÉTODOS: Se seleccionó a 10 expertos reumatólogos en el manejo de los inhibidores de la IL-6. Los 2 coordinadores generaron 23 preguntas sobre el bloqueo de la IL-6 en la AR (perfiles de indicación, eficacia, seguridad, etc.) para ser contestadas mediante una revisión sistemática de la literatura. Con base en las preguntas se definieron los criterios de inclusión y exclusión, y las estrategias de búsqueda (para interrogar Medline, Embase y la Cochrane Library). Dos revisores seleccionaron los artículos resultantes de la búsqueda. Se generaron tablas de evidencia. Paralelamente, se evaluaron abstracts de congresos de EULAR y ACR. Con toda esta evidencia los coordinadores propusieron 8 recomendaciones preliminares que se evaluaron, discutieron y votaron en una reunión de grupo nominal con el resto de los expertos. Para cada recomendación se estableció el nivel de evidencia y grado de recomendación, y el grado de acuerdo mediante un Delphi. Se definió acuerdo si al menos el 80% de los participantes contestaban sí a la recomendación (sí o no). RESULTADOS: Las 8 recomendaciones preliminares se aceptaron tras el Delphi. Abarcan aspectos como su uso en monoterapia, en combinación, en pacientes refractarios o intolerantes, la evaluación de su respuesta, la optimización o la gestión del riesgo. CONCLUSIONES: Este documento pretende resolver algunos interrogantes clínicos habituales y facilitar la toma de decisiones con el bloqueo de la IL-6 en el manejo de la AR


OBJECTIVE: To draft recommendations on interleukin 6 (IL-6) blockade in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), based on best evidence and experience. METHODS: A group of 10 experts on IL-6 blockade in RA was selected. The 2 coordinators formulated 23 questions about IL-6 blockade (indications, efficacy, safety, etc.). A systematic review was conducted to answer the questions. Using this information, inclusion and exclusion criteria were established, as were the search strategies (Medline, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library were searched). Two different reviewers selected the articles. Evidence tables were created. At the same time, European League Against Rheumatism and American College of Rheumatology abstracts were evaluated. Based on this evidence, the coordinators proposed preliminary recommendations that the experts discussed and voted on in a nominal group meeting. The level of evidence and grade of recommendation were established using the Oxford Centre for Evidence Based Medicine and the level of agreement with the Delphi technique (2 rounds). Agreement was established if at least 80% of the experts voted yes (yes/no). RESULTS: The 8 preliminary recommendations were accepted after the Delphi process. They covered aspects such as the use of these therapies in monotherapy, in combination, in patients with refractory disease or intolerant patients, response evaluation, optimization and risk management. CONCLUSIONS: The manuscript aims to solve frequently asked questions and aid in decision making strategies when treating RA patients with IL-6 blockade

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: During the last years, regulatory agencies raised some relevant concerns with regard to the possibility of administrating biological therapy (BT) to non-SpA patients. Especially, the possibility of treating women with fibromyalgia as non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) was mentioned. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate if the gender distribution and clinical pattern of patients with axSpA initiating biological therapy (BT) was modified in clinical practice after its approval for non radiographic-axSpA (nr-axSpA). METHODS: Baseline dataset from a prospective ongoing cohort including all patients with axSpA treated with BT at the Rheumatology Department of University Hospital La Paz, Madrid, Spain, was analysed. Patient's characteristics and disease activity parameters were collected. Based on the approval indication date of BT for nr-axSpA, patients were classified in two periods according to the starting date for the first BT: period 1 (before 2013) and period 2 (during or after 2013). Gender distribution and disease' characteristics were compared between both groups using Chi-square and Student-t tests. RESULTS: In total, 385 patients initiated BT: 266 (69%) in period 1 and 119 (31%) in period 2. No significant differences between both periods were observed regarding gender distribution (38% and 39% of women; p = 0.8). Out of those patients with nr-axSpA initiating BT in period 2, the majority (60%) were men. Women starting BT in period 2 had significantly higher systemic inflammation and mobility restriction compared with women in period 1 [median (interquartile range) CRP 10.2 mg/l (3.0-24.9) vs 3.2 mg/l (2.0-9.4); p = 0.02 and BASMI 2.7 (1.8-3.5) vs. 2.0 (1.2-2.6); p = 0.01, respectively]. In addition, they also presented significantly higher disease activity [BASDAI 6.5 (5.4-8.0) vs. 5.8 (4.6-6.8); p = 0.02; ASDAS, mean (SD) 3.6 ± 3.4 vs. 3.2 ± 1.0; p = 0.02, respectively] and more functional limitation [BASFI 5.7 (3.8-6.7) vs. 4.3 (2.0-6.1); p = 0.01, respectively] than men treated in period 2. CONCLUSIONS: In our clinical practice, the frequency of women who started BT did not increase since their approval for nr-axSpA. Women treated with BT after 2012 had more objective disease activity parameters than before their approval for nr-axSpA treatment.

RESUMO

La enfermedad gonocócica diseminada es una manifestación infrecuente de la afectación por Neisseria gonorrhoeae, que presenta una clínica variada y no bien definida, siendo la afectación articular un hallazgo característico. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 64 años con enfermedad gonocócica diseminada de inicio agudo, que comenzó con deterioro generalizado y oligoartritis. Se realizó artrocentesis de carpo, obteniéndose un líquido sinovial de aspecto purulento, cuyo estudio microbiológico identificó Neisseira gonorrhoeae. En el estudio se objetivó un complemento hemolítico total (CH50) de cero, no detectándose la fracción C2 del complemento. Son muy pocos los casos descritos en la literatura de enfermedad gonocócica diseminada asociada a déficit de C2. Presentamos un nuevo caso y revisamos los previamente publicados


Disseminated gonococcal infection is a rare presentation of the sexually transmitted pathogen, Neisseria gonorrhoeae. Here, we report the case of a 64-year-old woman with disseminated gonococcal infection, which started with symptoms of oligoarthritis and malaise. Neisseria gonorrhoeae was identified in the carpal synovial fluid. The follow-up study revealed an absence of total hemolytic complement and complement C2 was not detected. Being relatively common, C2 deficiency has been associated with disseminated gonococcal infection in a few cases. We present a new case and discuss those previously published

RESUMO

Methotrexate (MTX) is a remarkable drug with a key role in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) at every stage of its evolution. Its attributes include good overall efficacy for signs and symptoms, inhibition of structural damage and preservation of function with acceptable and manageable safety, a large dose-titratable range, options for either an oral or parenteral route of administration, and currently unrivalled cost-effectiveness. It has a place as a monotherapy and also as an anchor drug that can be safely used in combination with other conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) or used concomitantly with biological DMARDs or targeted synthetic DMARDs. MTX is not without potential issues regarding toxicity, notably hepatotoxicity and bone marrow toxicity, as well as tolerability problems for some, but not all, patients. But many of these issues can be mitigated or managed. In the face of a welcome expansion in available targeted therapies for the treatment of RA, MTX looks set to remain at the foundation of pharmacotherapy for the majority of people living with RA and other inflammatory rheumatic diseases. In this article, we provide an evidence-based discussion as to how to achieve the best outcomes with this versatile drug in the context of a treat-to-target strategy for the management of RA.

RESUMO

Describimos un caso de artritis séptica de rodilla por Corynebacterium striatum, bacilo Gram positivo colonizador habitual de la flora de la piel y mucosas, que rara vez ha sido implicado en artritis sépticas de articulaciones nativas. Se trata de un varón de 84 años diagnosticado de artritis séptica de rodilla izquierda por Corynebacterium striatum que evoluciona de forma tórpida con antibioterapia convencional, por lo que se solicita tratamiento compasivo con dalbavancina, con excelente respuesta clínica. Este caso resalta el potencial papel patógeno que las especies del género Corynebacterium pueden tener en artritis sépticas de articulaciones nativas y subraya la importancia de su detección precoz y tratamiento dirigido para obtener resultados clínicos satisfactorios


We describe a case of septic arthritis in a native knee due to Corynebacterium striatum, gram-positive bacilli that are usually commensal organisms of skin and mucosal membranes, but are seldom implicated in native septic arthritis. An 84-year-old man with Corynebacterium striatum septic arthritis of his native left knee and no response to conventional antibiotic therapy. Thus, the patient was allowed to take dalbavancin for compassionate use, with an excellent clinical outcome. This case emphasizes de role of Corynebacterium striatum in native joint infections and highlights the importance of early detection and appropriate treatment in improving the clinical outcome

RESUMO

El tiempo es una dimensión de importancia capital en la mayoría de las enfermedades crónicas y, especialmente, en las enfermedades reumáticas inflamatorias, donde influye en muchos aspectos. El tratamiento precoz de la artritis reumatoide es esencial, debido a que el proceso destructivo articular comienza muy pronto, en las primeras semanas o meses, y la actividad inflamatoria mantenida en el tiempo es responsable de todas las consecuencias de la enfermedad. La introducción de fármacos nuevos con una acción más rápida y eficaz, como los fármacos biológicos anti-TNF, ha supuesto un cambio radical en la estrategia de tratamiento de la artritis reumatoide, permitiendo, incluso, que la inducción de la remisión y la detención del proceso destructivo articular sean unos objetivos posibles (AU)


Time is a crucial dimension in most chronic diseases, especially in inflammatory rheumatic disease, which it affects in many ways. Early treatment in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an essential issue, as joint damage occurs within the first weeks or months of the disease process and inflammatory activity maintained over time is responsible for all of the consequences of the disease. The introduction of new drugs with faster and more effective action, such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors, has represented a major shift in the strategy of RA treatment, allowing the clinician to aim for remission and prevention of structural damage as realizable goals (AU)
