Obesity is a mild, long-lasting inflammatory disease and, as such, could increase the burden of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The study aim was to determine whether obesity represents risk factor for poor remission rate in RA patients requiring anti-tumor necrosis α (anti-TNFα) therapy progressive and active despite treatment with methotrexate or other disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs.Patients were identified from 15 outpatient clinics university hospitals Italy taking part Gruppo Italiano...
A cohort of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients in the Lombardy Rheumatology Network (LOHREN) registry and receiving anti‐TNF therapy was evaluated after 6, 12, 24, 36 months. Of 1114 1064 met clinical criteria for inclusion with 519 infliximab, 303 adalimumab, 242 etanercept. The therapeutic survival curve these showed that likelihood continuing 78.8% 12 months, 65.2% 24 52.9% a risk dropout similar inefficacy adverse events. There were 405 discontinuations (38.1%): 180 (16.9%) due to...
To describe the incidence and severity of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with rheumatic diseases treated targeted synthetic or biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) compared that general population living same Italian region.Patients followed up at 2 rheumatology referral centers Lombardy from February 25, 2020 to April 10, were invited participate a survey designed identify who had confirmed COVID-19, close contact others symptoms infection, detect changes...
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with accelerated atherosclerosis. The reduction in cardiovascular risk that induced by methotrexate (MTX) and anti-tumor necrosis factor α agents RA considered secondary to their anti-inflammatory action, but effects on serum lipoprotein function foam cell formation are unknown. reduced capacity of high-density (HDL) promote cholesterol efflux the increased cholesterol-loading (CLC) demonstrated may contribute development. aim this study was...
Little is known about the safety of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in patients with rheumatic musculoskeletal disease (RMD). We evaluated occurrence adverse events following immunization (AEFI) RMD and heathy subjects who received anti-SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine.
To evaluate the 12-year survival of first tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi) treatment in a cohort rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, comparing between-groups discontinuation rates for infliximab, etanercept, and adalimumab.RA patients treated with their TNFi were investigated from local registry. Before after adjusting propensity scores, overall by individual drug retention was evaluated. Drug calculated using Kaplan-Meier method compared Cox extended model. Subanalyses performed...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the survival on treatment with second-line biologic therapy in RA patient non-responders TNF inhibitors (TNFis) by comparing treatments a second anti-TNF (cycling strategy) or agents different mechanism action (MoA; swap strategy).RA patients treated biologics since 1999 who stopped first-line TNFi and started biotherapy were included cohort study. After adjusting for propensity scores, drug retention rates calculated using Kaplan-Meier method. log-rank...
To study, in a real-life setting, the construct validity, reliability, and interpretability of 12-item Psoriatic Arthritis Impact Disease (PsAID-12) questionnaire patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA).In 144 consecutive PsA (81 men 63 women, mean age 51.4 ± 12.8 yrs, 77 receiving biologic treatment), PsAID-12 other patient-reported outcomes (PRO) were collected, such as Dermatology Life Quality Index. Each patient underwent articular skin assessment.Construct validity: Factor analysis...
