<p><strong>Background: </strong>The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology recommendations for cardiovascular risk management highlighted the importance of traditional cardiovascular risk factor control in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). However, cardiovascular risk factor target attainment in APS and differences between primary APS and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)-related APS remain uncertain.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Cardiovascular risk factor data were collected from medical records of patients in 17 centres from 11 countries between Jan 1, 2015, and Jan 1, 2020 (extended to 2022 for some centres unable to complete the survey by the end of 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), and analysed cross-sectionally. Included patients were 18 years or older and met the revised Sapporo APS classification criteria. Patients who also met the 2012 Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) classification criteria for SLE were classified as having SLE-related APS. Patients with APS in association with systemic autoimmune diseases other than SLE were excluded. Cardiovascular risk was estimated using the Systematic Coronary Risk Evaluation algorithm, and cardiovascular risk factor target attainment was assessed using European Society of Cardiology guidelines. Unadjusted and adjusted mixed effects logistic regression models were fitted. People with lived experience were not involved in the study design.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>In total, 1003 patients with APS were included (779 [78%] women and 224 [22%] men; 662 [66%] of 1000 were White), with a median age of 47·0 years (IQR 38·0-57·0) and a median disease duration of 11·0 years (5·0-18·0). 539 (54%) patients had primary APS and 464 (46%) had SLE-related APS. We found a high prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors (hypertension, 411 [41%] of 1003; hyperlipidaemia, 344 [34%] of 1003; obesity, 295 [32%] of 919; current smoking, 186 [19%] of 963) and inadequate individual (blood pressure less than 130/80 mm Hg, BMI, and lipids) and composite cardiovascular risk factor control in all patients. A higher prevalence of hypertension (234 [50%] of 464 vs 177 [33%] of 539; p<0·0001) and hyperlipidaemia (184 [40%] of 464 vs 160 [30%] of 539; p=0·0009) was observed in SLE-related APS versus primary APS, but a lower prevalence of current smoking (72 [16%] of 452 vs 114 [22%] of 511; p=0·012). Patients with primary APS had worse target attainment for smoking cessation (397 [78%] of 511 vs 380 [84%] of 452; p=0·012), blood pressure less than 130/80 mm Hg (246 [48%] of 514 vs 258 [57%] of 456; p=0·0067), and two or more cardiovascular risk factor targets (of smoking, BMI, blood pressure, LDL) than patients with SLE-related APS in the entire group, as well as worse target attainment for smoking cessation, blood pressure less than 130/80 mmHg, BMI, LDL, triglycerides, two or more and three or more targets in the high and very high cardiovascular risk subgroup.

Participants were either approached consecutively during routine clinical appointments, or their data were collected retrospectively from the time of diagnosis to the time of transition to the service, and prospectively thereafter. We mapped the cohort onto clinical phenotypes defined by the Florida Scoring System at disease onset and stratified them based on the Newcastle Sjögren's Stratification Tool at last assessment. Disease activity, symptom severity, and damage trajectories were assessed using European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Activity Index (ESSDAI), EULAR Sjögren's Syndrome Patient Reported Index (ESSPRI), and Sjögren's Syndrome Disease Damage Index (SSDDI), respectively. People with related lived experience were involved in the study design and implementation.</p><p><strong>Findings: </strong>Between March 1, 2020, and June 30, 2024, we identified 30 children and young people diagnosed with childhood-onset Sjögren's disease based on expert opinion. Mean age at onset was 12·7 years (SD 3·3). 28 (93%) of 30 individuals were female and two (7%) were male. The most common disease manifestations at onset were fatigue (22 [73%] of 30 individuals), arthralgia (21 [70%]), dryness (17 [57%]), glandular swelling (15 [50%]), and skin rashes (ten [30%]). Diagnostic delay of more than 3 years from symptoms onset increased the prevalence of reported dryness (nine [100%] of nine vs eight [38%] of 21; p=0·0014). Children and young people with childhood-onset Sjögren's disease had two distinct disease activity and symptom trajectories (high ESSDAI: mean 3·9 [SD 2·2] vs low ESSDAI: mean 0·8 [1·1]; p<0·0001 and high ESSPRI: mean 5·6 [2·7] vs low ESSPRI: mean 3·1 [1·0]; p=0·036), which could not be predicted by sex or age at onset, symptom duration, or duration of follow-up. Damage accrual did not differ based on activity and symptom trajectory (p=0·080 and p=1·0, respectively). At last review, the median ESSDAI score was 2·0 (IQR 2·0-8·0) and the ESSPRI score was 5·3 (3·0-7·0).

<div><h3>Background</h3><div>The Total or Partial Knee Arthroplasty Trial (TOPKAT) aimed to evaluate the difference between total knee replacement (TKR) and partial (unicompartmental) replacement (PKR) for treatment of late-stage medial compartment knee osteoarthritis. As longevity is a key issue for joint replacement, extended follow-up periods are required to fully evaluate the long-term efficacy. In this analysis, we report the 10-year follow-up of the TOPKAT trial.</div></div><div><h3>Methods</h3><div>TOPKAT was a multicentre, randomised, pragmatic comparative effectiveness trial including an expertise component. Patients with medial compartment knee osteoarthritis were enrolled from 27 UK National Health Service (NHS) hospitals and randomly assigned (1:1) to receive PKR or TKR by surgeons who were either expert in and willing to perform both surgeries or by a surgeon with particular expertise in the allocated procedure. Neither surgeons, patients, nor follow-up assessors were masked to allocation, but the implant type was not highlighted at any stage. The primary long-term endpoint was the Oxford Knee Score (OKS) in the intention-to-treat population at 10 years. Cost effectiveness was also assessed.

Follow-up primary outcome response rate for eligible patients (excluding those who had died or withdrew) at 10 years was 326 (73%) of 444. Both operations provided good outcome. The between-group estimates ruled out any individually clinically meaningful differences in mean OKS scores (mean difference 0·27, 95% CI −1·59 to 2·13) or cumulatively over 10 years in the area under the curve analysis (mean difference 0·45, 95% CI −0·98 to 1·88). At 10 years, by treatment received, complications were 53 (22%) of 245 for PKR and 74 (27%) of 270 for TKR, reoperations (including revision) were 21 (9%) for PKR and 23 (9%) for TKR, and revision rates were 15 (6%) for PKR and 11 (4%) for TKR. By treatment allocated, for PKR and TKR respectively, complication occurred in 55 (21%) of 263 and 72 (29%) of 252, reoperations in 20 (8%) and 24 (10%), with revisions in 13 (5%) and 13 (5%) patients. PKR was more cost-effective compared with TKR, being associated with increased health benefits (mean difference in quality-adjusted life years of 0·322, 95% CI −0·069 to 0·712) and lower health-care costs (mean difference in cost −£731, 95% CI −1352 to −110).</div></div><div><h3>Interpretation</h3><div>10-year results comparing TKR and PKR show similar clinical
背景:全或部分膝关节置换术试验(TOPKAT)旨在评估全膝关节置换术(TKR)和部分(单室)置换术(PKR)治疗晚期内侧间室膝关节骨关节炎的差异。由于寿命是关节置换术的关键问题,需要延长随访期以充分评估长期疗效。在本分析中,我们报告了TOPKAT试验的10年随访。方法:TOPKAT是一项多中心、随机、实用的比较有效性试验,包括专家成分。从27家英国国民健康服务(NHS)医院招募了患有内侧室膝关节骨性关节炎的患者,并随机分配(1:1)接受PKR或TKR,由专家和愿意进行这两种手术的外科医生或由在分配手术中具有特殊专业知识的外科医生进行。外科医生、患者和随访评估人员都没有被隐瞒,但植入物类型在任何阶段都没有被突出显示。主要的长期终点是10年意向治疗人群的牛津膝关节评分(OKS)。还评估了成本效益。有相关生活经验的个人参与了研究设计。该试验已注册ISRCTN03013488和ClinicalTrials.gov, NCT01352247,并且已经完成。结果:2010年1月18日至2013年9月30日,962例入选患者中,528例患者(306例[58%]男性,222例[42%]女性,平均年龄65岁[SD 8.7])被随机分配(PKR n=264, TKR n=264)。随访10年时,符合条件的患者(不包括死亡或退出治疗的患者)的主要结局缓解率为326(73%)/ 444。两种手术均取得了良好的效果。组间估计排除了平均OKS评分(平均差值0.27,95% CI - 0.59至2.13)或曲线下分析区域10年累积的任何个体临床意义差异(平均差值0.45,95% CI - 0.98至1.88)。10年,通过接受治疗,PKR患者245例中有53例(22%)出现并发症,TKR患者270例中有74例(27%)出现并发症,再手术(包括翻修)PKR患者21例(9%),TKR患者23例(9%),PKR患者翻修率为15例(6%),TKR患者翻修率为11例(4%)。根据分配的治疗方案,263例PKR和TKR患者中分别有55例(21%)和72例(29%)出现并发症,20例(8%)和24例(10%)患者再次手术,13例(5%)和13例(5%)患者进行翻修。与TKR相比,PKR更具成本效益,与增加的健康效益(质量调整生命年的平均差异为0.322,95% CI为- 0.069至0.712)和更低的医疗保健成本(成本平均差异为- 731英镑,95% CI为-1352至-110)相关。解释:比较TKR和PKR的10年结果显示,临床结果、再手术率和翻修率相似,但成本效益更有利于PKR。资助:国家卫生和保健研究所卫生技术评估方案。

The Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology has developed evidence-based recommendations for the pharmacological management of rheumatoid arthritis in Latin America. A panel of rheumatoid arthritis experts from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Mexico, Panama, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela formulated clinically relevant questions in the population, intervention, comparator, outcome format. Systematic literature reviews were done following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation method. Recommendations were formulated based on evidence quality and expert consensus, which required at least 70% agreement among the voting members to be included in the guidelines. Ten recommendations and a treatment algorithm were developed. Key topics include early initiation of conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), particularly methotrexate, parenteral methotrexate for intolerance, cautious glucocorticoid use, switching mechanisms of action after unsuccessful biological or targeted synthetic DMARD treatment, tapering in remission, and guidance for rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease and vasculitis. Special attention is given to cost-effectiveness and accessibility considering the socioeconomic characteristics of Latin America. These recommendations aim to support clinicians in Latin America by providing a practical, evidence-based, and contextually relevant framework that addresses the unique challenges faced in the region.
