    (2023) SAKAMOTO, Ana P.; SILVA, Clovis A.; PITA, Ana C.; TRINDADE, Vitor C.; ISLABAO, Aline G.; FIOROT, Fernanda J.; LOPES, Sandra R. M.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; SAAD-MAGALHAES, Claudia; RUSSO, Gleice C. S.; LEN, Claudio A.; PRADO, Rogerio do; CAMPOS, Lucia M. A.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; APPENZELLER, Simone; FERRIANI, Virginia P. L.; SILVA, Marco F.; FELIX, Marta; FONSECA, Adriana R.; ASSAD, Ana P. L.; SZTAJNBOK, Flavio R.; SANTOS, Maria C.; BICA, Blanca E.; SENA, Evaldo G.; MORAES, Ana J.; FRAGA, Melissa M.; ROBAZZI, Teresa C.; SPELLING, Paulo F.; SCHEIBEL, Iloite M.; CAVALCANTI, Andre S.; MATOS, Erica N.; GUIMARAES, Luciano J.; SANTOS, Flavia P.; MOTA, Licia M. H.; BONFA, Eloisa; TERRERI, Maria T.
    Objectives: To identify associations between mortality in cSLE patients and their characteristics: clinical and laboratory features, disease activity and damage scores, and treatment; to evaluate risk factors associated with mortality in cSLE; and to determine the most frequent causes of death in this group of patients.Methods: We performed a multicenter retrospective cohort using data from 1,528 cSLE patients followed in 27 pediatric rheumatology tertiary centers in Brazil. Patients' medical records were reviewed according to a standardized protocol, in which information regarding demographic and clinical features, disease activity and damage scores, and treatment were collected and compared between deceased cSLE patients and survivors. Univariate and multivariate analyses by Cox regression model were used to calculate risk factors for mortality, whereas survival rates were analyzed by Kaplan-Meier plots.Results: A total of 63/1,528 (4.1%) patients deceased, 53/63 were female (84.1%), median age at death was 11.9 (9.4-13.1) years and median time interval between cSLE diagnosis and death was 3.2 (0.5-5.3) years. Sepsis was the main cause of death in 27/63 (42.8%) patients, followed by opportunistic infections in 7/63 (11.1%), and alveolar hemorrhage in 6/63 (9.5%) patients. The regression models resulted in neuropsychiatric lupus (NP-SLE) (HR = 2.56, 95% CI = 1.48-4.42) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) (HR = 4.33, 95% CI = 2.33-4.72), as risk factors significantly associated with mortality. Overall patient survival after cSLE diagnosis at 5, 10, and 15 years were 97%, 95.4%, and 93.8%, respectively.Conclusions: This study confirmed that the recent mortality rate in cSLE in Brazil is low, but still of concern. NP-SLE and CKD were the main risk factors for mortality, indicating that the magnitude of these manifestations was significantly high.

    Critical digital ischaemia in systemic sclerosis exacerbated by multiple myeloma: A case report
    (2023) FRANCO, Andre Silva; POLHO, Gabriel Berlingieri; ASSAD, Ana Paula Luppino; MIOSSI, Renata; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival Degrava
    Introduction: The overlapping of systemic sclerosis with hematologic malignancy has been described previously in the literature. This case report presents a patient with systemic sclerosis and multiple myeloma who had severe digital ischaemia that culminated in the amputation of several fingers. Case report: A 65-year-old White female patient was diagnosed with limited systemic sclerosis in 2002, smouldering multiple myeloma IgG/kappa in 2017 and liver cirrhosis in 2018 due to autoimmune hepatitis. In 2021, she was admitted to the emergency room with dry ischaemia of all fingers and toes despite optimized therapy, associated with visual blurring. The diagnostic hypothesis was hyperviscosity syndrome associated with multiple myeloma reactivation. The patient underwent chemotherapy and despite initial laboratory improvement, 19 digits required amputation. Conclusion: Although the association between systemic sclerosis and multiple myeloma is rare, it should be remembered in cases of significant worsening of Raynaud's phenomenon. Causes unrelated to systemic sclerosis should also be considered in the presence of severe exacerbations in patients with other comorbidities.

    Bone erosions associated with systemic bone loss on HR-pQCT in women with longstanding polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis
    (2023) RIBEIRO, Surian Clarisse C. R.; SALES, Lucas P.; FERNANDES, Alan L.; PEREZ, Mariana O.; TAKAYAMA, Liliam; CAPARBO, Valeria F.; ASSAD, Ana Paula L.; AIWAKA, Nadia E.; GOLDENSTEIN-SCHAINBERG, Claudia; BORBA, Eduardo F.; DOMICIANO, Diogo S.; FIGUEIREDO, Camille P.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.
    Objectives: To analyze longstanding polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA) for possible associations between localized bone damage (erosions), and systemic bone loss. Besides, to compare the systemic bone mass of pJIA with healthy controls. Methods: Thirty-four pJIA women and 99 healthy controls (HC) were included. Radius and tibia of all subjects were scanned by HR-pQCT. Volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD), bone microarchitecture, and -finite element parameters were analyzed. Patients underwent HR-pQCT of 2nd and 3rd metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joints of the dominant hand, for bone erosions quantification. Results: The mean age of patients was 31.5 +/- 7.4yrs with a mean disease duration of 21.7 +/- 9.2yrs. Bone erosions were detectable in 79% of patients. The number of bone erosions was positively correlated with cortical porosity (Ct.Po) at tibia (r = 0.575, p = 0.001), and radius (r = 0.423, p = 0.018); and negatively correlated with cortical vBMD at tibia (r=-0.420, p = 0.015). In a logistic regression analysis, adjusted for anti-CCP, the presence of bone erosions was independently associated with Ct.Po at radius (p = 0.018) and cortical vBMD at tibia (p = 0.020). Moreover, cortical and trabecular vBMD, trabecular number, and mu-finite element parameters were decreased in patients compared to HC (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Bone erosions in longstanding pJIA women were associated with decreased cortical bone parameters, and these patients showed systemic bone impairment at peripheral sites compared with healthy controls.

    Systemic sclerosis induced by the use of cocaine: is there an association?
    (2019) ANDREUSSI, Rafael; SILVA, Lila Morena Bueno; SILVA, Henrique Carrico da; LUPPINO-ASSAD, Ana Paula; ANDRADE, Danieli Castro O.; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.
    The association between cocaine abuse and systemic sclerosis (SSc) is rarely described. Two new cases of this association are presented: two young adults, after using inhaled cocaine for a few years, were diagnosed with SSc. While a 24 year-old white female patient presented with diffuse SSc with multiple digital ulcers and scleroderma renal crisis (SRC), a 27 year-old male patient presented limited SSc with skin ulcers and digital gangrene, rapidly evolving to death due to massive intestinal hemorrhage. The authors performed a literature search and found only eight previously published cases. The clinical picture of these patients shows a predominance of vascular involvement, including multiple ulcers and SRC. There is no association with specific SSc autoantibodies. The concomitance of alcohol and other drugs abuse, as well as the presence of drug adulterers, complicates a clear understanding of the role of cocaine in SSc patients.

    Update on the Treatment of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension
    (2021) FERNANDES, Caio J.; CALDERARO, Daniela; ASSAD, Ana Paula Luppino; SALIBE-FILHO, William; KATO-MORINAGA, Luciana Tamie; HOETTE, Susana; PILOTO, Bruna; CASTRO, Marcela Araujo; LISBOA, Roberta Pontes; SILVA, Taysa Antonia Felix da; MARTINS, Murillo de Araujo; ALVES-JR, Jose L.; JARDIM, Carlos; TERRA-FILHO, Mario; SOUZA, Rogerio de
    In the last decades, important advances have been made in the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), a severe, progressive, incurable, and potentially fatal disease. For an adequate therapy, correct hemodynamic diagnosis and etiology classification are fundamental. Many etiologies - rheumatic disease, portal hypertension, congenital heart diseases, schistosomiasis - require specific measures, in addition to drug therapy for PAH. The specific therapy for PAH is based on medications that act on three pathophysiological pathways - prostacyclin, endothelin, and nitric oxide pathways. These drugs have multiple presentations (oral, intravenous, subcutaneous, and inhaled) and have changed the history of PAH. This review presents an overview of drug therapy strategies and different forms and peculiarities of PAH.

    Severity and mortality of COVID-19 in patients with systemic sclerosis: a Brazilian multicenter study
    (2022) OLIVEIRA, Sandra Maximiano de; MARTINS, Lucas Victoria de Oliveira; LUPINO-ASSAD, Ana Paula; MEDEIROS-RIBEIRO, Ana Cristina; MORAES, Daniela Aparecida de; DEL-RIO, Ana Paula Toledo; OLIVEIRA, Maria Carolina; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival Degrava; KAYSER, Cristiane
    Introduction: COVID-19 may be associated with greater severity and mortality in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). The present study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, severity and mortality of COVID-19 in a Brazilian cohort of SSc patients. Methods: This multicenter, retrospective, observational study included 1,042 SSc patients followed in four centers of Sao Paulo between March 2020 and June 2021. Diagnosis of COVID-19 was established by proper positive RT-PCR testing or by highly suspicious infection. Patients were grouped into mild (outpatient setting treatment and no need for oxygen support) and moderate-to-severe (hospitalization and/or need for oxygen support) COVID-19. Results: Of the 1,042 SSc patients, 118 patients were diagnosed with COVID-19. Interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) was present in 65.6% of the total cohort and in 46.3% of SSc patients with COVID-19. There were 78 (66.1%) cases of mild COVID-19, and 40 (33.9%) cases of moderate-to-severe disease, with 6 (5.1%) deaths. By univariate analysis, pulmonary arterial hypertension (OR 9.50, p=0.006), SSc-ILD (OR 3.90, p=0.007), FVC <80% (OR 2.90, p=0.01), cardiac involvement (OR 5.53, p=0.003), and use of rituximab (OR 3.92, p=0.039), but not age, gender, comorbidities or use of corticosteroids, were predictors of worse outcome for COVID-19. Using multivariate analysis, only SSc-ILD was significantly associated to a higher risk of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 (OR 2.73, 95% CI 1.12-6.69, p=0.02). Forty percent of the patients remained with symptoms after presenting COVID-19, predominantly dyspnea and/or cough (17%). Conclusion: In this cohort of patients with SSc, those with SSc-ILD were highly impacted by COVID-19, with a higher risk of moderate-to-severe COVID-19 infection and death.

    Strong response after fourth dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine in autoimmune rheumatic diseases patients with poor response to inactivated vaccine
    (2022) AIKAWA, Nadia E.; KUPA, Leonard V. K.; SILVA, Clovis A.; SAAD, Carla G. S.; PASOTO, Sandra G.; YUKI, Emily F. N.; FUSCO, Solange R. G.; SHINJO, Samuel K.; ANDRADE, Danieli C. O.; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; CHASIN, Anna C. S.; SHIMABUCO, Andrea Y.; LUPPINO-ASSAD, Ana P.; LEON, Elaine P.; LOPES, Marta H.; ANTONANGELO, Leila; MEDEIROS-RIBEIRO, Ana C.; BONFA, Eloisa
    Objectives. To assess immunogenicity of a heterologous fourth dose of an mRNA (BNT162b2) severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) vaccine in autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) patients with poor/non-response to inactivated vaccine (Sinovac-CoronaVac). Methods. A total of 164 ARD patients who were coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) poor/non-responders (negative anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG and/or neutralizing antibodies-NAb) to the third dose of Sinovac-CoronaVac received an additional heterologous dose of mRNA (BNT162b2) 3 months after last dose. IgG and NAb were evaluated before and after the fourth dose. Results. Significant increases were observed after the fourth dose in IgG (66.4 vs 95.1%, P < 0.001), NAb positivity (5.5 vs 83.5%, P < 0.001) and geometric mean titre (29.5 vs 215.8 AU/ml, P < 0.001), and 28 (17.1%) remained poor/non-responders. Patients with negative IgG after a fourth dose were more frequently under rituximab (P = 0 .001) . Negative NAb was associated with older age (P = 0.015), RA (P = 0 .002) , SSc (P = 0 .026) , LEF (P = 0 .01 6) and rituximab use (P = 0.007) . In multiple logistic regression analysis, prednisone dose >= 7.5 mg/day (OR =0.34; P = 0.047) , LEF (OR =0.32, P = 0.036) and rituximab use (OR =0.19, P = 0.022) were independently associated with negative NAb after the fourth vaccine dose. Conclusions. This is the largest study to provide evidence of a remarkable humoral response after the fourth dose of heterologous mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in ARD patients with poor/non-response to the third dose of an inactivated vaccine. We further identified that treatment, particularly rituximab and prednisone, impaired antibody response to this additional dose.

    Immunogenicity decay and case incidence six months post Sinovac-CoronaVac vaccine in autoimmune rheumatic diseases patients
    (2022) SILVA, Clovis A.; MEDEIROS-RIBEIRO, Ana C.; KUPA, Leonard V. K.; YUKI, Emily F. N.; PASOTO, Sandra G.; SAAD, Carla G. S.; FUSCO, Solange R. G.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; SHINJO, Samuel K.; HALPERN, Ari S. R.; BORBA, Eduardo F.; SOUZA, Fernando H. C.; GUEDES, Lissiane K. N.; MIOSSI, Renata; BONFIGLIOLI, Karina R.; DOMICIANO, Diogo S.; SHIMABUCO, Andrea Y.; ANDRADE, Danieli C. O.; SEGURO, Luciana P. C.; FULLER, Ricardo; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.; ASSAD, Ana P. L.; MORAES, Julio C. B.; GOLDENSTEIN-SCHAINBERG, Claudia; GIARDINI, Henrique A. M.; SILVA, Henrique C.; MARTINS, Victor A. O.; VILLAMARIN, Lorena E. B.; NOVELLINO, Renata S.; SALES, Lucas P.; ARAUJO, Carlo S. R.; SILVA, Matheus S. R.; FILHO, Dilson M. N.; LOPES, Marta H.; DUARTE, Alberto J. S.; KALLAS, Esper G.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; BONFA, Eloisa
    Characterising the response to SARS-CoV-2 post vaccination is critical in the appraisement of the induced immune response, performance and protective potential. Here the authors present data from a phase 4 clinical trial in autoimmune rheumatic disease patients 6 months post second dose of Sinovac-CoronaVac inactivated vaccine that show a marked reduction in antibody particularly in males or those under treatment with immune targeting therapies but saw no rise in COVID-19 disease. The determination of durability and vaccine-associated protection is essential for booster doses strategies, however data on the stability of SARS-CoV-2 immunity are scarce. Here we assess anti-SARS-CoV-2 immunogenicity decay and incident cases six months after the 2(nd) dose of Sinovac-CoronaVac inactivated vaccine (D210) in 828 autoimmune rheumatic diseases patients compared with 207 age/sex-balanced control individuals. The primary outcome is the presence of anti-S1/S2 SARS-CoV-2 IgG at 6 months compared to 6 weeks after 2nd vaccine dose for decay evaluation. Secondary outcomes are presence of neutralizing antibodies, percent inhibition by neutralizing, geometric mean titers and cumulative incident cases at 6 months after 2nd dose. Anti-S1/S2 IgG positivity and titers reduce to 23.8% and 38% in patients (p < 0.001) during the six-month follow up and 20% and 51% in controls (p < 0.001), respectively. Neutralizing antibodies positivity and percent inhibition declines 41% and 54% in patients (p < 0.001) and 39.7% and 47% in controls (p < 0.001). Multivariate logistic regression analysis show males (OR = 0.56;95% CI0.40-0.79), prednisone (OR = 0.56; 95% CI0.41-0.76), anti-TNF (OR = 0.66;95% CI0.45-0.96), abatacept (OR = 0.29; 95% CI0.15-0.56) and rituximab (OR = 0.32;95% CI0.11-0.90) associate with a substantial reduction in IgG response at day 210 in patients. Although cellular immunity was not assessed, a decrease of COVID-19 cases (from 27.5 to 8.1/100 person-years; p < 0.001) is observed despite the concomitant emergence and spread of the Delta variant. Altogether we show a reduction in immunity 6-months of Sinovac-CoronaVac 2nd dose, particularly in males and those under immunosuppressives therapies, without a concomitant rise in COVID-19 cases.

    Increment of immunogenicity after third dose of a homologous inactivated SARS-CoV-2 vaccine in a large population of patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases
    (2022) AIKAWA, Nadia Emi; KUPA, Leonard de Vinci Kanda; MEDEIROS-RIBEIRO, Ana Cristina; SAAD, Carla Goncalves Schahin; YUKI, Emily Figueiredo Neves; PASOTO, Sandra Gofinet; ROJO, Priscila Tagliaferro; PEREIRA, Rosa Maria Rodrigues; SHINJO, Samuel Katsuyuki; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival Degrava; ANDRADE, Danieli Castro Oliveira; HALPERN, Ari Stiel Radu; FULLER, Ricardo; SOUZA, Fernando Henrique Carlos; GUEDES, Lissiane Karine Noronha; ASSAD, Ana Paula Luppino; MORAES, Julio Cesar Bertacini de; LOPES, Michelle Remiao Ugolini; MARTINS, Victor Adriano de Oliveira; BETANCOURT, Lorena; RIBEIRO, Carolina Torres; SALES, Lucas Peixoto; BERTOGLIO, Isabela Maria; BONOLDI, Virginia Lucia Nazario; MELLO, Renata Lys Pinheiro; BALBI, Gustavo Guimaraes Moreira; SARTORI, Ana Marli Christovam; ANTONANGELO, Leila; SILVA, Clovis Artur; BONFA, Eloisa
    Objective To determine the immunogenicity of the third dose of CoronaVac vaccine in a large population of patients with autoimmune rheumatic diseases (ARD) and the factors associated with impaired response. Methods Adult patients with ARD and age-balanced/sex-balanced controls (control group, CG) previously vaccinated with two doses of CoronaVac received the third dose at D210 (6 months after the second dose). The presence of anti-SARS-CoV-2 S1/S2 IgG and neutralising antibodies (NAb) was evaluated previously to vaccination (D210) and 30 days later (D240). Patients with controlled disease suspended mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) for 7 days or methotrexate (MTX) for 2 weekly doses after vaccination. Results ARD (n=597) and CG (n=199) had comparable age (p=0.943). Anti-S1/S2 IgG seropositivity rates significantly increased from D210 (60%) to D240 (93%) (p<0.0001) in patients with ARD. NAb positivity also increased: 38% (D210) vs 81.4% (D240) (p<0.0001). The same pattern was observed for CG, with significantly higher frequencies for both parameters at D240 (p<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analyses in the ARD group revealed that older age (OR=0.98, 95% CI 0.96 to 1.0, p=0.024), vasculitis diagnosis (OR=0.24, 95% CI 0.11 to 0.53, p<0.001), prednisone >= 5 mg/day (OR=0.46, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.77, p=0.003), MMF (OR=0.30, 95% CI 0.15 to 0.61, p<0.001) and biologics (OR=0.27, 95% CI 0.16 to 0.46, p<0.001) were associated with reduced anti-S1/S2 IgG positivity. Similar analyses demonstrated that prednisone >= 5 mg/day (OR=0.63, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.90, p=0.011), abatacept (OR=0.39, 95% CI 0.20 to 0.74, p=0.004), belimumab (OR=0.29, 95% CI 0.13 to 0.67, p=0.004) and rituximab (OR=0.11, 95% CI 0.04 to 0.30, p<0.001) were negatively associated with NAb positivity. Further evaluation of COVID-19 seronegative ARD at D210 demonstrated prominent increases in positivity rates at D240 for anti-S1/S2 IgG (80.5%) and NAb (59.1%) (p<0.0001). Conclusions We provide novel data on a robust response to the third dose of CoronaVac in patients with ARD, even in those with prevaccination COVID-19 seronegative status. Drugs implicated in reducing immunogenicity after the regular two-dose regimen were associated with non-responsiveness after the third dose, except for MTX.
