Abstract
- OBJECTIVES: To assess 5-year progression of erosions and Joint Space Narrowing (JSN), and their associations with RF status in two large, multi-centre early-RA cohorts spanning 25-years.METHODS: Radiographic joint damage was recorded using the Sharp/van der Heijde (SvdH) method in the Early RA Study (ERAS) 1986-2001, and the Early RA Network (ERAN) 2002-2013. Mixed-effects negative-binomial regression estimated changes in radiographic damage over 5-years, including erosions and JSN separately. Rheumatoid Factor (RF), along with age, sex and baseline markers of disease activity were controlled for.RESULTS: 1,216 patients from ERAS and 446 from ERAN had radiographic data. Compared to ERAS, ERAN patients had a lower mean total SvdH score at baseline (ERAN=6.2 vs. ERAS=10.5, pCONCLUSION: Radiographic progression has significantly reduced between the two cohorts, associated with lower baseline damage and other factors, including changes in early DMARD use. The impact of RF status as a prognostic marker of clinically meaningful change in radiographic progression has markedly diminished in the context of more modern treatment.
