ABSTRACT

Objetivo: Conhecer o perfil clínico e epidemiológico de pacien- tes portadores de artrite psoriásica de uma região brasileira. Método: Pesquisa observacional, transversal, epidemiológica e documental, baseada na coleta de dados obtidos a partir da análise de 53 prontuários de pacientes cadastrados do Ambu- latório de Reumatologia da Universidade do Estado do Pará, na Região Amazônica. Resultados: Houve predominância do padrão do tipo poliartrite simétrica, sem distinção entre os sexos, com a presença de manifestações extra-articulares, pso- ríase em placas, em uso de metotrexato em doses médias. Con- clusão: Apesar da etiopatogenia da doença ser dependente de fatores genéticos, ambientais e imunológicos e da população amazônica ser muito particular, de uma miscigenação entre eu- ropeus, ameríndios e negros, o perfil clínico e epidemiológicos dos pacientes do Ambulatório de Reumatologia da Universidade do Estado do Pará é semelhante ao das literaturas nacional e internacional.


Objective: To know the clinical and epidemiologic profile of pso- riatic arthritis patients of a Brazilian region. Method: This is an observational, cross-sectional, epidemiological, and documental study, based on the data obtained from the analysis of the medi- cal records of 53 patients registered on the Rheumatology Cli- nic of the Universidade do Estado do Pará, in the Amazon area. Results: There was a predominance of the symmetrical polyar- ticular pattern, with no sexual distinction, extra articular invol- vement, plaque psoriasis, and treatment withn methotrexate, in medium doses. Conclusion: Despite the etiopathogenesis being dependent on genetic, environmental, and immunological fac- tors, and the population of the Amazon being a mix of Europeans, Amerindians, and black people, the clinical and epidemiological profile of the patients of the Rheumatology clinic of the Univer- sidade do Estado do Pará is similar to the ones described on the national and international literature.

ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Background: Anti-TNF drugs are a fundamental part of the treatment of Crohn's disease (CD), so identifying factors related to loss of response is of great importance in clinical practice. Aim: Identify potential factors related to loss of response to anti-TNF agents in Crohn's disease patients. Methods: This is a prospective study of CD patients attending a specialized outpatient clinic using a specific form, including patients with more than one year of follow-up on anti-TNF (Infliximab, Adalimumab or Certolizumab pegol). The information obtained was tabulated and analyzed to identify possible reasons for the loss of response to anti-TNF agents; results were submitted to statistical analysis by chi-square teste considering significant p<0.05. Results: Sixty-four patients were included, most of them females (56.3%), predominant age group between 26 and 55 years, of whom 25 required optimization, 23 remained in remission with the usual dose and interval, and 16 required switch; most of those who needed switch had hematological problems such as anemia and/or had already undergone surgical treatment for CD. Conclusions: Anemia and prior CD surgery have been linked to loss of anti-TNF response.


RESUMO Racional: Os anti-TNF são parte fundamental no tratamento da doença de Crohn (DC), portanto, identificar os fatores relacionados à perda de resposta tem grande importância na prática clínica. Objetivo: Identificar potenciais fatores relacionados a perda de resposta aos agentes anti-TNF em pacientes com DC. Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo prospectivo de pacientes com DC frequentadores de ambulatório especializado por meio de formulário específico, incluindo-se pacientes com mais de um ano de acompanhamento em uso de anti-TNF (Infliximabe, Adalimumabe ou Certolizumabe pegol). As informações obtidas foram tabuladas e analizadas para identificação de eventuais motivos para a perda de resposta aos agentes; os resultados foram submetidos a tratamento estatístico por meio do teste qui-quadrado considerando-se significante p<0,05. Resultados: Foram incluídos 64 pacientes, sendo a maioria do sexo feminino (56,3%), faixa etária predominante entre 26 e 55 anos, dos quais 25 necessitaram otimização, 23 se mantiveram em remissão com a dose e intervalo habituais, e 16 necessitaram troca de medicamento; a maioria dos que necessitaram troca tinham alterações hematológicas como anemia e/ou já haviam sido submetidos a tratamento cirúrgico pela doença. Conclusões: Anemia e operação prévia por DC foram relacionados a perda de resposta aos anti-TNF.

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To retrospectively evaluate the performance and distinctive pattern of latent tuberculosis (TB) infection (LTBI) screening and treatment in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) under anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF) therapy and determine the relevance of re-exposure and other risk factors for TB development. METHODS: A total of 135 and 83 patients with AS and PsA, respectively, were evaluated for LTBI treatment before receiving anti-TNF drugs via the tuberculin skin test (TST), chest radiography, and TB exposure history assessment. All subjects were evaluated for TB infection at 3-month intervals. RESULTS: The patients with AS were more often treated for LTBI than were those with PsA (42% versus 30%, p=0.043). The former also presented a higher frequency of TST positivity (93% versus 64%, p=0.002), although they had a lower frequency of exposure history (18% versus 52%, p=0.027) and previous TB (0.7% versus 6%, p=0.03). During follow-up [median, 5.8 years; interquartile range (1QR), 2.2-9.0 years], 11/218 (5%) patients developed active TB (AS, n=7; PsA, n=4). TB re-exposure was the main cause in seven patients (64%) after 12 months of therapy (median, 21.9 months; IQR, 14.2-42.8 months) and five LTBI-negative patients. TB was identified within the first year in four patients (36.3%) (median, 5.3 months; IQR, 1.2-8.8 months), two of whom were LTBI-positive. There was no difference in the TB-free survival according to the anti-TNF drug type/class; neither synthetic drug nor prednisone use was related to TB occurrence (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: Known re-exposure is the most critical factor for incident TB cases in spondyloarthritis. There are also some distinct features in AS and PsA LTBI screening, considering the higher frequency of LTBI and TST positivities in patients with AS. Annual risk reassessment taking into consideration these peculiar features and including the TST should be recommended for patients in endemic countries.

ABSTRACT

Introduction: Registries of spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients' follow-up provided evidence that tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) increase the incidence of active tuberculosis infection (TB). However, most of these registries are from low burden TB areas. Few studies evaluated the safety of biologic agents in TB endemic areas. This study compares the TB incidence rate (TB IR) in anti-TNF-naïve and anti-TNF-experienced subjects with SpA in a high TB incidence setting.Methods: In this retrospective cohort study, medical records from patients attending a SpA clinic during 13 years (2004 to 2016) in a university hospital were reviewed. The TB IR was calculated and expressed as number of events per 105 patients/year; the incidence rate ratio (IRR) associated with the use of TNFi was calculated.Results: A total of 277 patients, 173 anti-TNF-naïve and 104 anti-TNF-experienced subjects, were evaluated; 35.7% (N = 35) of patients who were prescribed an anti-TNF drug were diagnosed with latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI). Total follow-up time (person-years) was 1667.8 for anti-TNF-naïve and 394.9 for anti-TNF-experienced patients. TB IR (95% CI) was 299.8 (37.4-562.2) for anti-TNF naïve and 1012.9 (25.3-2000.5) for anti-TNF experienced subjects. The IRR associated with the use of TNFi was 10.4 (2.3- 47.9).Conclusions: In this high TB incidence setting, SpA patients exposed to anti-TNF therapy had a higher incidence of TB compared to anti-TNF-naïve subjects, although the TB incidence in the control group was significant.(AU)

ABSTRACT

Resumo Objetivo: A uveíte anterior aguda é a principal manifestação extra-articular na espondiloartrite. O objetivo deste estudo foi analisar se a presença da uveíte se associa com diferentes manifestações clínicas, laboratoriais, radiológicas e a terapêutica nos pacientes com espondiloartrite. Métodos: Estudo observacional retrospectivo realizado com 153 pacientes portadores de espondiloartrite atendidos no período de 1997 a 2017 na Grande Florianópolis, Brasil. Foram analisados dados demográficos, laboratoriais, clínicos e do tratamento de pacientes com espondiloartrite em relação a presença ou não de uveíte. Resultados: A uveíte foi encontrada em 26,8% dos pacientes. A presença de complicações foi rara, ocorrendo catarata em somente quatro pacientes e glaucoma em dois deles. Foi observada uma tendência a maior frequência de uveíte anterior aguda no sexo masculino (p=0,06), nos pacientes com história familiar (p=0,19) e HLA-B27 positivos (p=0,14). Pacientes com espondiloartrite e uveíte mais frequentemente usavam anti-TNF (p=0,04) e apresentavam sacroiliite em exames de imagem (p=0,02). Não observou-se associação entre a uveíte e o acometimento cardiovascular (p=0,44), cutâneo (p=0,13) ou gastrointestinal (p=0,10). Conclusão: A uveíte que ocorre em pacientes com espondiloartrite é comum, tem predomínio no sexo masculino e é mais frequente em pacientes com HLA-B27 positivo. O uso de imunobiológicos como o anti-TNF é frequente nos pacientes com uveíte.


Abstract Objective: Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is the most common extra-articular manifestation of spondyloarthritis. The aim of this study is to analyze if the presence of uveitis is associated with a diferent clinical manifestation, laboratorial, radiological and therapetiuc among spondyloarthritis patients. Methods: This was a observational retrospective study with 153 patients with spondyloarthritis attended in the period from 1997 to 2017 in Florianopolis, Brazil. It was analyzed demografical, laboratorial, clinical and therapeutic data in spondyloarthritis patients with or without uveitis. Results: 26,8% of the patients with spondyloarthritis presented uveitis. The presence of complications was rare, with cataract occurring in only four patients and glaucoma in two of them. A higher frequency of acute anterior uveitis in males (p = 0.06) was observed in patients with a family history (p = 0.19) and HLA-B27 positive (p = 0.14). Patients with spondyloarthritis and uveitis more frequently used anti-TNF (p = 0.04) and presented sacroiliitis on imaging tests (p = 0.02). There was no association between uveitis and cardiovascular (p = 0.44), cutaneous (p = 0.13) or gastrointestinal involvement (p = 0.10). Conclusion: Uveitis in patients with spondylarthritis is common, predominantly in males, and more frequently in HLA-B27 positive patients. The use of immunobiological agents such as anti-TNF is common in patients with uveitis.
