Abstract

Objectives To estimate the prevalence of long-term exposure to glucocorticoids (GCs) and to identify factors associated with, and variations in prescribing practices over time and across recruiting countries. Methods We included patients with SSc having a visit recorded in the EUSTAR database from January 2013 onward. We analysed the prevalence and the main features of GCs users, their exposure to GCs over time, and their GCs dosages. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyse the factors identified as associated with GCs intake duration. Time trends, and variations in GCs utilization across recruiting countries were explored. Missing data were imputed using multiple imputation with chained equations. Results The 9819 patients included were mostly females (85%), the majority had lcSSc (73%), and the median age was 58 years. At baseline, 34% of patients (n = 2769/8109) (48% dcSSc vs 29% lcSSc) were on GCs, and the median dose was 7.5 mg/day. GCs users were more frequently males and anti-Scl70 positive, and more commonly had dcSSc and more severe disease. On average, GCs users spent 25% of their follow-up time (median 33.2 months) on GCs, with no significant between-subsets difference. Notably, 33% (n = 971/2959) and 22% (n = 647/2959) of patients followed up for >1 year had received GCs for >6 and >12 months, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that patient and disease characteristics poorly explained the variability in GCs exposure (adjusted-R2 = 0.06, P Conclusions GCs are widely and long-term prescribed in SSc, with significant between-countries and within-country differences. A gradual decrease in their utilization has been observed.

Methods We included patients with SSc having a visit recorded in the EUSTAR database from January 2013 onward. We analysed the prevalence and the main features of GCs users, their exposure to GCs over time, and their GCs dosages. Multivariable linear regression was used to analyse the factors identified as associated with GCs intake duration. Time trends, and variations in GCs utilization across recruiting countries were explored. Missing data were imputed using multiple imputation with chained equations. Results The 9819 patients included were mostly females (85%), the majority had lcSSc (73%), and the median age was 58 years. At baseline, 34% of patients (n  = 2769/8109) (48% dcSSc vs 29% lcSSc) were on GCs, and the median dose was 7.5 mg/day. GCs users were more frequently males and anti-Scl70 positive, and more commonly had dcSSc and more severe disease. On average, GCs users spent 25% of their follow-up time (median 33.2 months) on GCs, with no significant between-subsets difference. Notably, 33% (n  = 971/2959) and 22% (n  = 647/2959) of patients followed up for >1 year had received GCs for >6 and >12 months, respectively. Multivariable analysis showed that patient and disease characteristics poorly explained the variability in GCs exposure (adjusted- R 2 = 0.06, P  < 0.001). GCs utilization varied within and across countries, and gradually decreased over time (36% in 2013 vs 23% in 2018). Conclusions GCs are widely and long-term prescribed in SSc, with significant between-countries and within-country differences. A gradual decrease in their utilization has been observed.

pulmonary hypertension, arterite de Takayasu, hipertensão pulmonar, vasculitis, vasculite, Takayasu arteritis
Abstract

Arterite de Takayasu (AT) é uma doença rara caracterizada por vasculite dos grandes vasos, principalmente aorta e seus ramos. A inflamação vascular leva a irregularidades na parede do vaso, causando estenoses e aneurismas. O envolvimento da artéria pulmonar (AP) é freqüente na AT. Apesar disso, o desenvolvimento de hipertensão arterial pulmonar (HAP) é menos comum, alterando o tratamento e o prognóstico dos pacientes. Descrevemos um caso de uma paciente com AT com estenoses múltiplas em artérias pulmonares, HAP e doença cerebrovascular, além de revisão de literatura sobre o assunto. Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a rare illness characterized by vasculitis of great vessels, mainly of aorta and its branches. The vascular inflammation leads to irregularities of the vessel wall causing stenosis and aneurysms. The pulmonary artery (PA) involvement is frequent in TA. Despite this, the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension is less common, modifying the treatment and the prognosis of the patients. We describe a case of a patient with TA with multiple stenosis in pulmonary arteries, pulmonary arterial hypertension and cerebrovascular disease, as well as review of the literature on the subject.

Abstract

Nem sempre é possível estabelecer uma clara distinção entre as doenças musculares de causa infecciosa e as miosites idiopáticas. Há situações, inclusive, em que se considera existir uma relação causal entre ambas as doenças. Descrevemos o caso de uma paciente com manifestações clínicas e laboratoriais de polimiosite que apresentou infecção precedente de leptospirose, em que se considera a hipótese de ação de "gatilho" do agente infeccioso no quadro muscular inflamatório.

11. Paralisia periódica hipocalêmica na síndrome de Sjögren

Author

Müller,Carolina de Souza, Rachid Filho,Acir, Carvalho,José Gastão Rocha de, Freitas,Sinara da Silva, and Parchen,Carlos Frederico Rodrigues

Subjects
acidose tubular renal, hipopotassemia, síndrome de Sjögren
Abstract

Na síndrome de Sjögren, o acometimento subclínico dos túbulos renais pode afetar uma parcela significativa de pacientes. A maioria apresenta acidose tubular renal distal (tipo 1), que pode se constituir na primeira manifestação da doença auto-imune e contribuir para sua maior duração e gravidade. A depleção de potássio, resultante da acidose tubular renal distal, pode ser extremamente grave e colocar em risco a vida do paciente se não diagnosticada e tratada. A paralisia periódica hipocalêmica foi observada em quase 40% dos pacientes com síndrome de Sjögren e acidose tubular renal distal. Descrevemos, a seguir, o caso de uma paciente com diagnóstico de síndrome de Sjögren, estabelecido há quatro anos, que apresentou amortecimento e fraqueza em membros inferiores com dificuldade respiratória. Houve agravamento dos sintomas e necessidade de internamento em Unidade de Terapia Intensiva. À admissão, verificou-se potássio sérico de 2 mEq/L. Com o diagnóstico de paralisia hipocalêmica, procedeu-se ao tratamento imediato com reposição parenteral de KCl 19,1% e oxigênio suplementar (máscara). Não houve necessidade de ventilação mecânica. A paciente recebeu alta com potássio sérico corrigido para 3,4 mEq/L.

Abstract

ObjectivesTo identify predictive parameters for the progression of skin fibrosis within 1 year in patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc).MethodsAn observational study using the EUSTAR database was performed. Inclusion criteria were dcSSc, American College of Rheumatology (ACR) criteria fulfilled, modified Rodnan skin score (MRSS) ≥7 at baseline visit, valid data for MRSS at 2nd visit, and available follow-up of 12±2 months. Worsening of skin fibrosis was defined as increase in MRSS >5 points and ≥25% from baseline to 2nd visit. In the univariate analysis, patients with progressive fibrosis were compared with non-progressors, and predictive markers with pResultsA total of 637 dcSSc patients were eligible. Univariate analyses identified joint synovitis, short disease duration (≤15 months), short disease duration in females/patients without creatine kinase (CK) elevation, low baseline MRSS (≤22/51), and absence of oesophageal symptoms as potential predictors for progressive skin fibrosis. In the multivariate analysis, by employing combinations of the predictors, 17 models with varying prediction success were generated, allowing cohort enrichment from 9.7% progressive patients in the whole cohort to 44.4% in the optimised enrichment cohort. Using a second validation cohort of 188 dcSSc patients, short disease duration, low baseline MRSS and joint synovitis were confirmed as independent predictors of progressive skin fibrosis within 1 year resulting in a 4.5-fold increased prediction success rate.ConclusionsOur study provides novel, evidence-based criteria for the enrichment of dcSSc cohorts with patients who experience worsening of skin fibrosis which allows improved clinical trial design.

Abstract

Connective tissue disease-associated interstitial lung disease (CTD-ILD) represents a group of systemic autoimmune disorders characterized by immune-mediated organ dysfunction. Systemic sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic inflammatory myositis, and Sjögren's syndrome are the most common CTDs that present with pulmonary involvement, as well as with interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features. The frequency of CTD-ILD varies according to the type of CTD, but the overall incidence is 15%, causing an important impact on morbidity and mortality. The decision of which CTD patient should be investigated for ILD is unclear for many CTDs. Besides that, the clinical spectrum can range from asymptomatic findings on imaging to respiratory failure and death. A significant proportion of patients will present with a more severe and progressive disease, and, for those, immunosuppression with corticosteroids and cytotoxic medications are the mainstay of pharmacological treatment. In this review, we summarized the approach to diagnosis and treatment of CTD-ILD, highlighting recent advances in therapeutics for the various forms of CTD.

Abstract

Objectives: To assess the manifestations of systemic sclerosis (SSc), with an emphasis on the analysis of autoantibodies and their clinical correlations, in a population of patients followed up at the SSc Outpatient Clinics of the Hospital de Clínicas of the Universidade Federal do Paraná., Methodology: Cross-sectional study with 96 patients followed up at the SSc Outpatient Clinics of the hospital between September 2007 and September 2009., Results: Most patients were of the female sex, in their forties or fifties, and the median time of disease was ten years. The limited cutaneous form of SSc was more prevalent. The analysis of the autoantibodies showed the association of anticentromere antibody (ACA) with the following: the limited form of SSc; more advanced age at the time of diagnosis; longer disease time; longer interval between the appearance of the Raynaud's phenomenon (RyP) and the first non-RyP symptom; systemic arterial hypertension (SAH); and cardiac conduction blocks. The antitopoisomerase-1 antibody (ATA-1, previously called anti-Scl-70) was more common in the presence of the diffuse form of SSc, active disease, and digital ulcers. The anti-RNA polymerase III antibody (anti-Pol III) correlated with the diffuse form of SSc, disease activity, and synovitis., Conclusions: This study emphasizes and confirms the important role of autoantibodies in assessing patients with SSc, allowing the correlation between the autoimmune profile of patients with SSc and specific manifestations of the disease.

Abstract

Patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) can have muscle involvement in the form of myositis or non-infl ammatory myopathy. The muscle involvement can be associated with left ventricular dysfunction (LVD) in patients with SSc, resulting in worse prognosis. Eighty-seven patients of the Hospital de Clínicas of the Universidade Federal do Paraná, diagnosed with SSc, were assessed regarding the presence of skeletal muscle manifestations and their relation with LVD. A 42.5% prevalence of muscle involvement was observed in the patients studied, as well as a positive correlation with the diffuse form of the disease. Excluding other causes of LVD, three of the four patients with ejection fraction below the normal reference value had alteration of the muscle strength, atrophy and/or serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) elevation.

Abstract

Introduction: Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) is an inflammatory disease that decreases functional capacity through muscular atrophy, skin sclerosis and loss of joint function. Scleroderma patients suffer from movement's restriction. In addition, the disease affects the nutritional status, compromising the quality of life in varying degrees. The gastrointestinal involvement appears to be the main responsible for the nutritional impairment., Objective: To evaluate the physical and nutritional status of patients with SSc., Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional and descriptive study in 20 patients with SSc. All patients were evaluated in Physioteraphy Clinic of the Catholic University of Paraná, from July 2003 to April 2004. The evaluation was performed by Bioimpedance Body (BIA), the questionnaires Nutritional Risk Assessment (Determine), Mini Nutritional Assessment of Aging and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) for pain. The work muscle ability was assessed by measuring the peak torque of flexor and extensor muscles of the elbow in the isokinetic dynamometer Cybex Norm model 7000. We have calculated the mean and standard deviation for each variable analyzed, in addition to the percentage of peak torque deficit., Results: The values of the VAS ranged from zero to 97.8 mm (mean: 48.9 +/- 32.9 mm). The HAQ scores ranged from zero to 2.75 (average: 0.95 +/- 0.8). The average BMI was 22.4 +/- 3.9 kg / m2. The average deficit of mass was: 1.3 +/- 2.1 kg. Ten patients had high nutritional risk. 1 patient was malnourished and 15 were at high risk for malnutrition. The average peak torque to the muscle groups of elbows was 19.2 +/- 5 N / m to the flexor and 21.9 +/-6.6 N/m for the extensors, with an average deficit of 17% and 13% for the both groups., Conclusions: We found that SSc patients were in poor nutritional status and had decreased functional and physical capacity by the weakening of the muscles of the elbow demonstrated by the isokinetic evaluation. We concluded that our SSc patients were at high risk for malnutrition and this may indicate that scleroderma patients need a better nutritional orientation. We do consider that SSc patients also must be included in physical activity programs in order to achieve better physical performance.
