Abstract

To compare disease burden and biologic use among psoriatic arthritis (PsA) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients recruited to the Corrona registry. Retrospective study of patients with PsA or RA enrolled in Corrona between January 2002 and March 2013 and grouped in 2-year intervals. Clinical outcomes and biologic use were assessed. Biologic use increased over time in both cohorts, with 62 and 52% of patients with PsA and RA, respectively, receiving biologics by 2012-2013. However, 25 and 35% of patients with PsA and RA, respectively, continued to experience moderate/high disease activity. Overall, the progressive increase in biologic use accompanied progressive decreases in Clinical Disease Activity Index (from 14.2 to 10.4 for RA, and 12.4 to 8.1 for PsA) and mean Health Assessment Questionnaire score (from 0.36 to 0.34, and 0.3 to 0.24). Mean patient pain, the proportion of patients reporting morning stiffness, and the mean duration of morning stiffness remained similar for both cohorts. PsA and RA treated in the rheumatology setting had a comparable impact on patient quality of life and functional ability. Disease burden improved with increased biologic utilization in both groups; however, moderate/severe disease remains in a significant proportion of PsA and RA patients.

Abstract

Objective: The classic conception of pain etiology in rheumatologic disease is nociceptive pain—tissue injury and inflammation signaling through peripheral and central nerve fibers. But this can be mixed with other pain etiologies, including nociplastic, which is augmented pain experience due to central sensitization. The pain of fibromyalgia (FM) is nociplastic, occurs in 10% to 30% of patients with rheumatologic disease, and its presence can influence disease severity assessment. The objective of our study was to (1) ascertain the prevalence of FM and widespread pain (WP) in the CorEvitas psoriatic arthritis (PsA) registry as assessed by the Widespread Pain Index (WPI) and Symptom Severity Scale (SSS) questionnaires; (2) characterize the demographic and clinical factors associated with FM and WP; and (3) ascertain the association of FM and WP on the Clinical Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis (cDAPSA) score and other disease activity measures. Methods: PsA registry patients completing the WPI/SSS questionnaires since May 2020, at their most recent visit recorded in the registry, were analyzed. Results: The analysis included 1,823 patients with PsA; 11.1% fulfilled the FM definition and 20.6% fulfilled the WP definition. Several factors were associated with the FM definition, including female sex, depression and/or anxiety, impaired function, increased body mass index, and increased number of comorbidities. cDAPSA, patient pain and global assessment, and tender joint count were twice as severe in patients with FM compared to those without. Conclusion: FM prevalence is elevated in PsA and is associated with elevated disease measures, confounding reliable disease assessment for treat‐to‐target goals. Identification of FM as an influential contextual factor in disease assessment is recommended. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Objectives To determine whether an expanded antigen-specific ACPA profile predicts changes in disease activity in patients with RA initiating biologics. Methods The study included participants from a prospective, non-randomized, observational RA cohort. For this sub-study, treatment groups of interest included biologic-naïve initiating anti-TNF, biologic-exposed initiating non-TNF, and biologic-naïve initiating abatacept. ACPAs to 25 citrullinated peptides were measured using banked enrolment serum. Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed and associations of resulting principal component (PC) scores (in quartiles) and anti-CCP3 antibody (≤15, 16–250 or >250 U/ml) with EULAR (good/moderate/none) treatment response at 6 months were examined using adjusted ordinal regression models. Results Participants (n  = 1092) had a mean age of 57 (13) years and 79% were women. At 6 months, 68.5% achieved a moderate/good EULAR response. There were three PCs that cumulatively explained 70% of variation in ACPA values. In models including the three components and anti-CCP3 antibody category, only PC1 and PC2 were associated with treatment response. The highest quartile for PC1 (odds ratio [OR] 1.76; 95% CI: 1.22, 2.53) and for PC2 (OR 1.74; 95% CI: 1.23, 2.46) were associated with treatment response after multivariable adjustment. There was no evidence of interaction between PCs and treatment group in EULAR responses (P -value for interaction >0.1). Conclusion An expanded ACPA profile appears to be more strongly associated with biologic treatment response in RA than commercially available anti-CCP3 antibody levels. However, further enhancements to PCA will be needed to effectively prioritize between different biologics available for the treatment of RA. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
