- Registries in systemic sclerosis: a worldwide experience(2011) GALLUCCIO, Felice; WALKER, Ulrich A.; NIHTYANOVA, Svetlana; MOINZADEH, Pia; HUNZELMANN, Nicholas; KRIEG, Thomas; STEEN, Virginia; BARON, Murray; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival; KAYSER, Cristiane; NASH, Peter; DENTON, Chris P.; TYNDALL, Alan; MUELLER-LADNER, Ulf; MATUCCI-CERINIC, MarcoSSc is a multisystem disease characterized by an unpredictable course, high mortality and resistance to therapy. The complexity and severity of SSc is a growing burden on the health-care systems. As a result, researchers are seeking new therapeutic strategies for effectively managing these patients. Disease registries are used to support care management efforts for groups of patients with chronic diseases and are meaningful to capture and track key patient information to assist the physicians in managing patients. For these reasons, SSc surveys, research associations and consortiums are pivotal to conduct ongoing research and data collection to enhance disease knowledge and support research projects. Currently, there are several national SSc registries in the UK, Germany, USA, Canada, Brazil and Australia. There is also an international registry established by the European League Against Rheumatism scleroderma trial and research (EUSTAR) called minimal essential data set (MEDS) Online, which collects data from over 8000 patients from 92 centres worldwide, including 21 European centres and 9 centres outside Europe. By collecting, analysing and disseminating data on disease progression and patient responses to long-term disease management strategies, registries help to improve understanding of the disease and keep medical professionals up to date on the latest advances.
- Immunogenicity and safety of the 2009 non-adjuvanted influenza A/H1N1 vaccine in a large cohort of autoimmune rheumatic diseases(2011) SAAD, Carla G. S.; BORBA, Eduardo F.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; SILVA, Clovis A.; PEREIRA, Rosa M. R.; CALICH, Ana Luisa; MORAES, Julio C. B.; RIBEIRO, Ana C. M.; VIANA, Vilma S. T.; PASOTO, Sandra G.; CARVALHO, Jozelio F.; FRANCA, Ivan L. A.; GUEDES, Lissiane K. N.; SHINJO, Samuel K.; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.; CALEIRO, Maria T.; GONCALVES, Celio R.; FULLER, Ricardo; LEVY-NETO, Mauricio; TIMENETSKY, Maria do Carmo S.; PRECIOSO, Alexander R.; BONFA, EloisaBackground Despite the WHO recommendation that the 2010-2011 trivalent seasonal flu vaccine must contain A/California/7/2009/H1N1-like virus there is no consistent data regarding its immunogenicity and safety in a large autoimmune rheumatic disease (ARD) population. Methods 1668 ARD patients (systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS), systemic sclerosis, psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Behcet's disease (BD), mixed connective tissue disease, primary antiphospholipid syndrome (PAPS), dermatomyositis (DM), primary Sjogren's syndrome, Takayasu's arteritis, polymyositis and Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) (GPA)) and 234 healthy controls were vaccinated with a non-adjuvanted influenza A/California/7/2009(H1N1) virus-like strain flu. Subjects were evaluated before vaccination and 21 days post-vaccination. The percentage of seroprotection, seroconversion and the factor increase in geometric mean titre (GMT) were calculated. Results After immunisation, seroprotection rates (68.5% vs 82.9% p < 0.0001), seroconversion rates (63.4% vs 76.9%, p < 0.001) and the factor increase in GMT (8.9 vs 13.2 p < 0.0001) were significantly lower in ARD than controls. Analysis of specific diseases revealed that seroprotection significantly reduced in SLE (p < 0.0001), RA (p < 0.0001), PsA (p=0.0006), AS (p=0.04), BD (p=0.04) and DM (p=0.04) patients than controls. The seroconversion rates in SLE (p < 0.0001), RA (p < 0.0001) and PsA (p=0.0006) patients and the increase in GMTs in SLE (p < 0.0001), RA (p < 0.0001) and PsA (p < 0.0001) patients were also reduced compared with controls. Moderate and severe side effects were not reported. Conclusions The novel recognition of a diverse vaccine immunogenicity profile in distinct ARDs supports the notion that a booster dose may be recommended for diseases with suboptimal immune responses. This large study also settles the issue of vaccine safety. (ClinicalTrials.gov #NCT01151644)
- Epidemiology of Spondyloarthritis in Brazil(2011) SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.During the period of 2006 to 2007, 28 university centers in Brazil used a standardized protocol of investigation to study the epidemiological, clinical and radiological variables of 1036 consecutive patients with the diagnosis of spondyloarthritis (SpA). Validated translated (Portuguese) versions of the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) Disease Activity Index and the Bath AS Functional Index were applied. Patient diagnoses were predominantly AS (72.3%), followed by psoriatic arthritis (13.7%), undifferentiated SpA (6.3%), reactive arthritis (3.6%), juvenile SpA (3.1%) and arthritis related to inflammatory bowel disease (1.0%). There was a predominance of male (73.6%) and white (59.5%) patients. Pure axial disease was observed in 36.7% of the patients, whereas the mixed pattern (axial, peripheral and entheseal) was observed in 47.9%. The most common extra-articular involvement was anterior uveitis (20.2%). HLA-B27 was positive in 69.5% of the tested patients.
- Differential Features Between Primary Ankylosing Spondylitis and Spondylitis Associated with Psoriasis and Inflammatory Bowel Disease(2011) ALAMINO, Rodolfo Perez; COCCO, Jose A. Maldonado; CITERA, Gustavo; ARTURI, Pablo; VAZQUEZ-MELLADO, Janitzia; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.; FLORES, Diana; BURGOS-VARGAS, Ruben; SANTOS, Helena; CHAVEZ-CORRALES, Jose E.; PALLEIRO, Daniel; GUTIERREZ, Miguel A.; VIEIRA-SOUSA, Elsa; PIMENTEL-SANTOS, Fernando M.; PAIRA, Sergio; BERMAN, Alberto; MORENO-ALVAREZ, Mario; COLLANTES-ESTEVEZ, EduardoObjective. To describe differential characteristics of axial involvement in ankylosing spondylitis (AS) as compared with that seen in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) in a cohort of Ibero-American patients. Methods. This study included 2044 consecutive patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA; ESSG criteria). Demographic, clinical, disease activity, functional ability, quality of life, work status, radiologic, and therapeutic data were evaluated and collected by RESPONDIA members from different Ibero-American countries between June and December 2006. Patients selected for analysis met modified New York criteria (mNY) for AS. Results. A total of 1264 patients met the New York criteria for AS: 1072 had primary AS, 147 had psoriatic, and 45 had IBD-associated spondylitis. Median disease duration was comparable among the 3 patient groups. Patients with primary AS were significantly younger (p = 0.01) and presented a higher frequency of males (p = 0.01) than the other 2 groups. Axial manifestations such as inflammatory back pain and sacroiliac pain were significantly more frequent in patients with primary AS (p = 0.05) versus other groups, whereas frequency of dactylitis, enthesitis, and peripheral arthritis was more common in patients with psoriatic spondylitis (p = 0.05). Spinal mobility was significantly more limited in patients with primary AS versus the other 2 groups (p = 0.0001). Radio logic changes according to BASRI total score were equally significant in primary AS. Disease activity (BASDAI), functional ability (BASFI), and quality of life (ASQoL) scores were comparable in the 3 groups. Conclusion. Patients with primary AS had more severe axial involvement than those with spondylitis associated with psoriasis or IBD. Functional capacity, disease activity, and quality of life were comparable among the groups studied. (First Release June 1 2011; J Rheumatol 2011;38:1656-60; doi:10.3899/jrheum.101049)
article Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 is upregulated on peripheral blood monocytes of patients with psoriatic arthritis: a role for a gram-positive inflammatory trigger?(2011) CARRASCO, S.; NEVES, F. S.; FONSECA, M. H.; GONCALVES, C. R.; SAAD, C. G.; SAMPAIO-BARROS, P. D.; GOLDENSTEIN-SCHAINBERG, C.Toll-like receptor (TLR) 2 and TLR4 are able to activate innate immune cells in response to gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, respectively. Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic inflammatory joint disease and gram-positive streptococcus may have a role in its pathogenesis, suggesting the importance of TLR2 stimulation in PsA. Objective To assess TLR2 and TLR4 expressions on innate immune cells of PsA patients, relating to clinical disease activity. Methods Fort-five patients with peripheral joint manifestations of PsA were included and disease activity was assessed by Disease Activity Score of 28 joint counts (DAS28). 32 healthy subjects constituted the control group. Membrane-bound TLR2 and TLR4 expressions were assessed on peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils by flow cytometry. Results Twenty-seven patients had active PsA (DAS28 higher than 2.6) and 18 had inactive disease. TLR2 was significantly upregulated on monocytes in both active and inactive PsA group, comparing to healthy controls. TLR4 was similarly expressed in all tested groups. Conclusion TLR2 is overexpressed by PsA monocytes, suggesting that gram-positive exposure could induce higher inflammatory responses in this disease.- Reduced seroprotection after pandemic H1N1 influenza adjuvant-free vaccination in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: implications for clinical practice(2011) RIBEIRO, Ana C. M.; GUEDES, Lissiane K. N.; MORAES, Julio C. B.; SAAD, Carla G. S.; AIKAWA, Nadia E.; CALICH, Ana Luisa; FRANCA, Ivan L. A.; CARVALHO, Jozelio F.; SAMPAIO-BARROS, Percival D.; GONCALVES, Celio R.; BORBA, Eduardo F.; TIMENETSKY, Maria do Carmo S.; PRECIOSO, Alexander R.; DUARTE, Alberto; BONFA, Eloisa; LAURINDO, Ieda M. M.Background Reduced response to pandemic (2009) H1N1 (pH1N1) vaccine in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) was recently reported. Objectives To evaluate the contribution of age, disease activity, medication and previous antibody levels to this reduced response. Methods 340 adult RA patients and 234 healthy controls were assessed before and 21 days after adjuvant-free influenza A/California/7/2009 (pH1N1) vaccine. Disease activity (DAS28), current treatment and pH1N1 antibody titres were collected. Seroprotection, seroconversion and factor increase in geometric mean titre (GMT) were calculated and adverse events registered. Results RA and controls showed similar (p> 0.05) prevaccination GMT (8.0 vs 9.3) and seroprotection (10.8% vs 11.5%). After vaccination a significant reduction (p< 0.001) was observed in all endpoints: GMT and factor increase in GMT, seroprotection and seroconversion rates. Disease activity did not preclude seroconversion or seroprotection and remained unchanged in 97.4% of patients. Methotrexate was the only disease-modifying antirheumatic drug associated with reduced responses (p= 0.001). Vaccination was well tolerated. Conclusions The data confirmed both short-term anti-pH1N1 vaccine safety and, different from most studies with seasonal influenza, reduced seroprotection in RA patients, unrelated to disease activity and to most medications (except methotrexate). Extrapolation of immune responses from one vaccine to another may therefore not be possible and specific immunisation strategies (possibly booster) may be needed.
