To develop new classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) jointly supported by the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and American College of Rheumatology (ACR).This international initiative had four phases. 1) Evaluation antinuclear antibody (ANA) as an entry criterion through systematic review meta-regression literature generation Delphi exercise, early patient cohort, a survey. 2) Criteria reduction nominal group technique exercises. 3) definition weighting...
Objectives To determine the causes of death and risk factors in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods Between 2000 2011, we examined certificates all French patients with SSc to death. Then developed a score associated all-cause mortality from international European Scleroderma Trials Research (EUSTAR) database. Candidate prognostic were tested by Cox proportional hazards regression model single variable analysis, followed multiple stratified centres. The bootstrapping technique was used for...
The peripheral blood (PB) monocyte pool contains osteoclast progenitors (OCPs), which contribute to osteoresorption in inflammatory arthritides and are influenced by the cytokine chemokine milieu. We aimed define importance of signals for migration activation OCPs rheumatoid arthritis (RA) psoriatic (PsA). PB and, when applicable, synovial fluid (SF) samples were collected from 129 patients with RA, 53 PsA, 110 control parallel clinical parameters disease activity, autoantibody levels,...
Background/objectives The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2019 classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus system showed high specificity, while attaining also sensitivity. We hereby analysed the performance individual items and their contribution to overall criteria. Methods combined EULAR/ACR derivation validation cohorts a total 1197 (SLE) n=1074 non-SLE patients with variety conditions mimicking SLE, such as other autoimmune...
Objectives The European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 2019 Classification Criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have been validated with high sensitivity and specificity. We evaluated the performance new criteria regard to disease duration, sex race/ethnicity, compared its against Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) 2012 ACR 1982/1997 criteria. Methods Twenty-one SLE centres from 16 countries submitted cases...
Background:The aim of this study was to assess and compare patients' access biologic anti-RA drugs in selected Central Eastern European (CEE) countries analyze the determinants differences between countries.Material/Methods:This is a multi-country survey study, based on combination desk research direct contact with national RA stakeholders. Data collected using pre-defined questionnaire. Affordability measured an affordability index, calculated comparing index health care expenditures price...
To characterize patients with positive anti-topoisomerase I (ATA) in lcSSc.SSc enrolled the EUSTAR cohort a disease duration of ≤3 years at database entry were considered. We assessed risk major organ involvement following groups: ATA-lcSSc vs ACA-lcSSc and ANA without specificity (ANA)-lcSSc, ATA-dcSSc. Cox regression models time-dependent covariates performed outcomes: new-onset interstitial lung (ILD), ILD progression [forced vital capacity (FVC) decline ≥10% ≥5% values diagnosis),...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) sine scleroderma (ssSSc) is a subset of SSc defined by the absence skin fibrosis. Little known about natural history and manifestations among patients with ssSSc.
Interstitial lung disease is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in systemic sclerosis, but it characterized by significant heterogeneity patient outcomes. So far, little known about influence anti-U1RNP antibodies on outcomes sclerosis-associated interstitial patients. European Scleroderma Trials Research group sclerosis patients with radiological-confirmed disease, available %predicted forced vital capacity, autoantibody status were included. Baseline demographic features compared...
To evaluate the use of hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and its impact on Health Assessment Questionnaire disability index(HAQ-DI) Cochin Hand Function Status(CHFS) in a large Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) cohort. SSc patients from European Scleroderma Trials Research (EUSTAR) database treated with HCQ for at least 6 months were evaluated compared to matched group not using HCQ. Demographic clinical data, concomitant drugs, HAQ-DI CHFS (at 2 evaluations) recorded outcome variables interest. Statistical...
ANCA-associated vasculitides (AAVs) are rare diseases with a prevalence of less than 200 cases per million persons and an incidence 25 person-years. Their presenting features can vary from prodromal nonspecific symptoms to dramatic organ-specific such as respiratory failure due diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH) acute kidney injury (AKI). The latter two hallmark pulmonary-renal syndrome, potentially fatal condition that necessitates early recognition treatment in intensive care units (ICUs)...
Data related to the disease course of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) special attention tothepersistence activity in long term are scarce. At this moment reliable figures only knownabout survival rate as a measure outcome. The aim multicenter study was describe outcome ofSLE duration greater than 10 y.Outcome parameters were two activity-scoring systems (SLEDAI and ECLAM), end organ damage (SLICC/ACR index) treatment. Our results derived from 187SLE followed at different...
Abstract Objectives The prevalence and characteristics of SSc-associated interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) vary between geographical regions worldwide. objectives this study were to explore the differences in terms prevalence, phenotype, treatment prognosis patients with SSc-ILD from predetermined EUSTAR database. Material methods Patients clustered into seven regions. Clinical survival compared among these pre-determined Results For baseline analyses, 9260 SSc included, 6732 for analyses....
In patients with SSc, peripheral vasculopathy can promote critical ischaemia and gangrene. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence risk factors for gangrene in EUSTAR cohort.We included from database fulfilling ACR 1980 or ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria at least one visit recording data on Centres were asked supplementary traditional cardiovascular factors. We analysed cross-sectional relationship between its potential by univariable multivariable logistic...
The aim of this study was to develop a Croatian Delphi-based expert consensus for screening interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with connective tissue (CTD). A systematic literature review conducted on risk factors the development ILD, prevalence and incidence diagnostic methods prognosis ILD in idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), mixed (MCTD), primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), sclerosis (SSc) were performed. Based...
