Background

To assess gender differences in a large sample of patients included in the International Map of Axial Spondyloarthritis (IMAS) study from around the globe.

Method

IMAS is a cross-sectional online survey (2017–2022) of 5557 unselected axSpA patients from 27 countries. The current analysis assessed differences between males and females for: sociodemographic, health behaviors, disease characteristics, patient-reported outcomes, mental comorbidities, and treatments. Univariable and multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between gender and disease characteristics, patient-reported outcomes, comorbidities, and treatments.

Results

Data from 5555 patients reporting gender were analyzed: 3492 from Europe, 769 from North America, 600 from Asia, 548 from Latin America, and 146 from Africa. Globally, 55.4% were females, with higher proportions in South Africa (82.2%) and lower in Asia (20.8%). Compared to males, a lower percentage of females smoked and consumed alcohol. The diagnostic delay was significantly longer (+2.4 years) in females, while the frequency of HLA-B27 positivity of axSpA was lower in females. The use of axSpA pharmacological treatment was more common in females with a higher proportion having ever taken nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs), and biologic DMARDs (bDMARDS).

Conclusions

Identifying the specific disease characteristics associated with gender in patients with axSpA may help to improve the diagnosis and management of the disease, and thereby reduce the disease burden for patients around the world.

Aim

To identify risk factors associated with major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and malignancies in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using real-world data from Japan.

Methods

This cohort study used the Real World Data database of medical institutions in Japan. Eligible patients (January 2013–December 2021) had ≥ 1 RA diagnosis, were aged ≥ 18 years, prescribed ≥ 1 antirheumatic drug, had no psoriasis diagnosis, and had a record postindex. Patients had no myocardial infarction/stroke ≤ 31 days (MACE cohort) or malignancy < 1 year (malignancy cohort) before index. Cohorts were determined by incidence of initial MACE or malignancy. Known/exploratory variables were selected using Cox regression models.

Results

Across MACE (n = 16 012) and malignancy (n = 14 545) cohorts, most patients were female and aged ≥ 65 years. Overall, 214 MACE per 43964.7 patient-years (incidence rate 0.49 per 100 patient-years) and 315 malignancies per 40251.6 patient-years (incidence rate 0.78 per 100 patient-years) occurred. Male sex, older age (≥ 65 years), hypertension, renal disease, cerebrovascular disease, and prior X-ray examination were significantly associated with increased MACE risk. Male sex, older age (≥ 50 years), nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug use, emphysema, serious infection, malignancy history, and prior X-ray examination were significantly associated with increased malignancy risk. Conversely, glucocorticoid use and fracture diagnosis were significantly associated with reduced malignancy risk.

Conclusion

In patients with RA in Japan, male sex, older age, and prior X-ray examination were associated with increased MACE and malignancy risk.

目的:利用日本的真实世界数据,确定类风湿关节炎(RA)患者发生主要不良心血管事件(MACE)和恶性肿瘤的相关风险因素:这项队列研究使用了日本医疗机构的真实世界数据数据库。符合条件的患者(2013 年 1 月至 2021 年 12 月)≥ 1 次类风湿关节炎诊断,年龄≥ 18 岁,处方≥ 1 种抗风湿药物,无银屑病诊断,且有索引后记录。患者无心肌梗死/中风 ≤ 31 天(MACE 队列)或恶性肿瘤:在 MACE 组群(n = 16 012)和恶性肿瘤组群(n = 14 545)中,大多数患者为女性,年龄≥ 65 岁。总体而言,每 43964.7 患者年发生 214 例 MACE(发病率为每 100 患者年 0.49 例),每 40251.6 患者年发生 315 例恶性肿瘤(发病率为每 100 患者年 0.78 例)。男性、高龄(≥ 65 岁)、高血压、肾脏疾病、脑血管疾病和既往 X 光检查与 MACE 风险增加显著相关。男性性别、年龄较大(≥ 50 岁)、使用非甾体类抗炎药、肺气肿、严重感染、恶性肿瘤病史和既往接受过 X 光检查与恶性肿瘤风险的增加明显相关。相反,糖皮质激素的使用和骨折诊断与恶性肿瘤风险的降低明显相关:结论:在日本的RA患者中,男性、高龄和既往接受过X光检查与MACE和恶性肿瘤风险增加有关。

Aim

To investigate the relationship between the ionized-to-total calcium ratio and the incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients with autoimmune diseases.

Methods

A retrospective study was conducted utilizing data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database. In-hospital AKI was the primary outcome. Patients were classified into four distinct categories depending on the calcium ratio. Cox proportional hazards model and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis were applied to assess the association between the calcium ratio and AKI risk. Subgroup analyses were conducted to evaluate the consistency of this association across various patient characteristics.

Results

A total of 1054 critically ill patients with autoimmune diseases were enrolled and stratified by calcium ratio quartiles into four groups (< 0.515; 0.515–0.546; 0.546–0.576; > 0.576). Cumulative incidence curves showed significant difference in AKI risk among the four groups. Patients in the highest calcium ratio quartile experienced a markedly reduced likelihood of AKI versus those in the lowest, especially in the fully adjusted model (HR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.51–0.84, p < 0.001). RCS analysis demonstrated an obvious nonlinear relationship, showing a steep decline in AKI risk with increasing calcium ratio, which eventually plateaued. This protective effect of higher calcium ratios against AKI was consistent across subgroups, except in those with chronic kidney disease at baseline.

Conclusion

The ionized-to-total calcium ratio proves to be significantly associated with the development of AKI in critically ill patients with autoimmune diseases, with its elevation indicating a reduced AKI risk.

<p>Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder primarily affecting the joints, leading to pain, swelling, and functional impairment. Epidemiological data indicate that RA affects approximately 0.5%–1% of the global population, with a higher prevalence in women, typically manifesting in middle age. There are numerous extraarticular manifestations (EAMs) in RA, among which lung damage, especially interstitial lung disease (ILD), deteriorate the evolution and survival of these patients [<span>1</span>]. The prevalence of RA-ILD was approximately 18.7%, and the risk for RA-ILD including male sex, older age, having a smoking history, pulmonary comorbidities, older age of RA onset, longer RA duration, positive RF, positive ACPA, higher ESR, moderate and high DAS28 (≥ 3.2), rheumatoid nodules, leflunomide use, and steroid use. Additionally, biological agent use was a protective factor [<span>2</span>].</p><p>Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), characterized by chronic airway inflammation and progressive airflow limitation, is a debilitating respiratory condition often resulting from long-term exposure to harmful substances such as tobacco smoke and environmental pollutants. This disease leads to the gradual destruction of lung tissue, significantly impairs patients' daily activities and quality of life, and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The disease's progression is typically marked by exacerbations, which are acute episodes of worsening respiratory symptoms, often triggered by infections or environmental factors.

Coexisting Tubulointerstitial Inflammation and Damage Is a Risk Factor for Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With Lupus Nephritis

Objective

This study aims to determine whether the concurrent presence of tubulointerstitial inflammation (TII) and tubulointerstitial damage (TID) predicts the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).

Methods

Data from 175 LN patients, collected at the time of renal biopsy, were analyzed. Patients were stratified into two groups based on the presence or absence of coexisting TII/TID. Uni- and multivariable Cox proportional hazard regression models were utilized to identify independent risk factors for CKD in LN patients.

Results

Of 175 patients, 110 (62.9%) exhibited coexisting TII/TID, whereas 65 (37.1%) did not. Patients with coexisting TII/TID tended to be older and presented with higher levels of ESR and 24-h proteinuria, as well as lower levels of eGFR and hemoglobin compared to those without coexisting TII/TID. Over a mean follow-up period of 89.9 months, CKD and end-stage renal disease occurred more frequently in patients with coexisting TII/TID. Notably, the presence of coexisting TII/TID was associated with a higher risk of CKD progression, with adjusted hazard ratios of 2.667 (95% CI: 1.333, 5.335, p = 0.006) for all LN patients, 3.265 (95% CI: 1.451, 7.345, p = 0.004) for those with class III, IV, and V LN, and 3.045 (95% CI: 1.289, 7.195, p = 0.011) for those with class III, IV, V LN, and eGFR ≥ 30 mL/min/1.73 m2.

Conclusions

LN patients with coexisting TII/TID are at a heightened risk of kidney function deterioration at LN onset and subsequent development of CKD over the long term.
