ABSTRACT

Objectives: PsA and gout are two prevalent rheumatic diseases, that can be associated as part of a rheumatism known as 'Psout'. Both conditions are associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk, thus their co-occurrence could have significant implications for the management of CV risks and patient care. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of gout within a PsA patient cohort and, consequently, to identify factors associated with this pathological association. Methods: This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional, single-center study, including patients diagnosed with PsA. Demographic, clinical, biological and imaging data were collected. We identified the proportion of patients simultaneously affected by PsA and gout and compared characteristics between those with and without gout. Results: The prevalence of gout among PSA patients was 9.8% (12/122), with a prevalence of 23% for asymptomatic hyperuricemia and 7.4% presenting with specific US signs of gout. Significant associated factors in the univariate analysis included weight, hypertension, diabetes, certain medications (diuretics, aspirin, lipid-lowering agents), impaired renal function, elevated fasting blood glucose, lipid abnormalities and specific US signs of gout. Conclusion: Our study has described the existence of patients simultaneously affected by PsA and gout ('Psout'). Performing joint US along with uric acid level measurements in PsA patients can enable personalized therapeutic care.

ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND: Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKis) represent a new alternative to treat rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The objective of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness, tolerance profile, and maintenance of these treatments (tofacitinib and baricitinib) in real life. METHODS: All patients in the rheumatology department of Amiens University Hospital treated by JAKis for RA were included from 1 October 2017 to 20 May 2020. Clinical and biological data were provided retrospectively in this observational and single-center study. We aimed to study the JAKi maintenance rate at 12 months and their clinical and biological safety profiles. RESULTS: Fifty-five patients were included. Drug maintenance at 12 months was 67.6%. Factors associated with poorer maintenance were a higher Charlson comorbidity index (HR 1.311 (1.089-1.579); p = 0.0042), a higher age (HR 1.055 (1.015-1.096); p = 0.0067), and corticosteroids therapy at initiation (HR 2.722 (1.006-7.365); p = 0.0487). The clinical and biological safety profile was generally good. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that a higher Charlson index, age, and corticosteroids appeared to be associated with the earlier discontinuation of treatment. JAKis had a response and tolerance profile in real life at least equivalent to that of biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDs).
