Abstract
OBJECTIVE To develop the first evidence-based Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology (PANLAR) guidelines for the treatment of Takayasu arteritis (TAK). METHODS A panel of vasculitis experts developed a series of clinically meaningful questions addressing the treatment of TAK patients in the PICO (population/intervention/comparator/outcome) format. A systematic literature review was performed by a team of methodologists. The evidence quality was assessed according to the GRADE (Grading of Recommendations/Assessment/Development/Evaluation) methodology. The panel of vasculitis experts voted each PICO question and made recommendations, which required ≥70% agreement among the voting members. RESULTS Eleven recommendations were developed. Oral glucocorticoids are conditionally recommended for newly diagnosed and relapsing TAK patients. The addition of nontargeted synthetic immunosuppressants (e.g., methotrexate, leflunomide, azathioprine, or mycophenolate mofetil) is recommended for patients with newly diagnosed or relapsing disease that is not organ- or life-threatening. For organ- or life-threatening disease, we conditionally recommend tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (e.g., infliximab or adalimumab) or tocilizumab with consideration for short courses of cyclophosphamide as an alternative in case of restricted access to biologics. For patients relapsing despite nontargeted synthetic immunosuppressants, we conditionally recommend to switch from one nontargeted synthetic immunosuppressant to another or to add tumor necrosis factor inhibitors or tocilizumab. We conditionally recommend low-dose aspirin for patients with involvement of cranial or coronary arteries to prevent ischemic complications. We strongly recommend performing surgical vascular interventions during periods of remission whenever possible. CONCLUSION The first PANLAR treatment guidelines for TAK provide evidence-based guidance for the treatment of TAK patients in Latin American countries.

Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology Guidelines for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis. THE LANCET. RHEUMATOLOGY 2023; 5:e483-e494. [PMID: 38251580 DOI: 10.1016/s2665-9913(23)00128-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/23/2023] [Revised: 04/24/2023] [Accepted: 04/27/2023] [Indexed: 01/23/2024]
Abstract
Considerable variability exists in the way health-care providers treat patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis in Latin America. The most frequently used treatments for ANCA-associated vasculitis are cyclophosphamide and prolonged glucocorticoid tapers; however, randomised controlled trials conducted over the past 30 years have led to the development of several evidence-based treatment alternatives for these patients. Latin America faces socioeconomic challenges that affect access to care, and the use of certain costly medications with proven efficacy ANCA-associated vasculitis is often restricted. For these reasons, the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology developed the first ANCA-associated vasculitis treatment guidelines tailored for Latin America. A panel of local vasculitis experts generated clinically meaningful questions related to the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis using the Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcome (PICO) format. Following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology, a team of methodologists conducted a systematic literature review. The panel of vasculitis experts voted on each PICO question and made recommendations, which required at least 70% agreement among the voting members. 21 recommendations and two expert opinion statements for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis were developed, considering the current evidence and the socioeconomic characteristics of the region. These recommendations include guidance for the use of glucocorticoids, non-glucocorticoid immunosuppressants, and plasma exchange.

Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology guidelines for the treatment of giant cell arteritis. THE LANCET. RHEUMATOLOGY 2022; 4:e864-e872. [PMID: 38261393 DOI: 10.1016/s2665-9913(22)00260-0] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/14/2022] [Revised: 08/20/2022] [Accepted: 08/30/2022] [Indexed: 11/27/2022]
Abstract
Considerable variability exists in the way that health-care providers treat patients with giant cell arteritis in Latin America, with patients commonly exposed to excessive amounts of glucocorticoids. In addition, large health disparities prevail in this region due to socioeconomic factors, which influence access to care, including biological treatments. For these reasons, the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology developed the first evidence-based giant cell arteritis treatment guidelines tailored for Latin America. A panel of vasculitis experts from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina generated clinically meaningful questions related to the treatment of giant cell arteritis in the population, intervention, comparator, and outcome (PICO) format. Following the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation methodology, a team of methodologists did a systematic literature search, extracted and summarised the effects of the interventions, and graded the quality of the evidence. The panel of vasculitis experts voted on each PICO question and made recommendations, which required at least 70% agreement among the voting members to be included in the guidelines. Nine recommendations and one expert opinion statement for the treatment of giant cell arteritis were developed considering the most up-to-date evidence and the socioeconomic characteristics of Latin America. These recommendations include guidance for the use of glucocorticoids, tocilizumab, methotrexate, and aspirin for patients with giant cell arteritis.

Abstract
BackgroundPersistent symptoms after acute COVID have been described previously. Main symptoms reported are fatigue, arthralgias, myalgias and mental sickness. Definition and methods vary widely.1ObjectivesTo asses prevalence and related factors to long COVID in a retrospective cohort of patients with rheumatic diseases from Argentina.MethodsA total of 1915 patients were registered from August 18th, 2020 to July 29th, 2021. Patients > 18 years old, with rheumatic disease and confirmed infection by SARS-CoV-2 (antigen or RT-PCR) were included. Those dead, with unknown outcome, wrong date or missing data were excluded. Demographic data, comorbidities, rheumatic disease, and characteristics of SARS-CoV-2 infection were recorded.Long COVID was defined according to NICE guidelines (persistent symptoms for more than 4 weeks, without alternative diagnosis). Long COVID symptoms were defined by rheumatologist. Severity of infection was classified according to WHO ordinal scale.We used descriptive statistics, univariate model (Student’s test, chi square test, ANOVA) and multivariate logistic regression analysis.Results230 (12%) had long COVID. Median age was 51 (IQR 40-61]) years, 82% were females, 51% were not caucasian. Median of education was 13.3 years (IQR 12 – 16), 79 % had private health insurance and 55 % were employed. Nearly half (n=762, 46%) had comorbidities, the most prevalent was hypertension (n=396, 24%).The most frequent rheumatic diseases were rheumatoid arthritis (n=719, 42%) and systemic lupus erythematosus (n=280, 16 %). Most were in low activity/remission (79%), used Conventional DMARD (n=773 patients, 45%) and steroids (n=588, 34%) at low dose (n=415, 71%).Main laboratory findings were abnormal D-dimer (n=94, 28%) and leukopenia (n=93, 26%). Most patients had a WHO ordinal scale < 5 (n=1472, 86%). Median of hospitalization at intensive care unit (ICU) was 8 days [IQR 5, 13]. Treatment for SARS-CoV-2 infection (steroids, anticoagulation, azithromycin, convalescent plasma) was used in 461 (27%) patients.Most of long COVID (n= 152, 69%) reported 1 symptom, the most frequent was fatigue (n= 55, 22%).

Abstract
BackgroundHigh disease activity, treatment with glucocorticoids (GC) and rituximab (RTX), have been related to worse outcomes of COVID-19.ObjectivesTo assess the clinical characteristics and severity of the SARS-CoV-2 infection in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) included in the SAR-COVID registry and to identify factors associated with poor outcomes.MethodsSAR-COVID is a national, longitudinal and observational registry. Patients of ≥18 years old, with diagnosis of RA (ACR-EULAR criteria 2010) who had confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection (RT-PCR or positive serology) were included between 13-8-20 and 31-7-21. Sociodemographic and clinical data, comorbidities, disease activity and treatment at the moment of the SARS-CoV-2 infection were collected. Additionally, infection symptoms, complications, medical interventions and treatments for COVID-19 were registered. Infection severity was assessed using the WHO-ordinal scale (WHO-OS)1. A cut-off value of ≥5 identified patients with severe COVID-19 and those who died.Statistical analysis: Descriptive statistics. Chi2 or Fischer test, Student T test or Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis or ANOVA, as appropriate. Multiple logistic regression model.ResultsA total of 801 patients were included, with a mean age of 53.1 ± 12.9 years, most of them were female (84.5%) and the median (m) disease duration was 8 years (IQR 4-14). One third were in remission and 46.4% had comorbidities, being the most frequent, hypertension (26.9 %), dyslipidemia (13.5 %), obesity (13.4 %) and diabetes (8.9%). Moreover, 3.2% had interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with RA. At SARS-CoV-2 diagnosis, 42.5% were receiving glucocorticoids (GC), 73.9% conventional (c) disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD), 24% biologic (b) DMARD and 9.1% targeted synthetic (ts) DMARD. Among bDMARD, the most frequently used were TNF inhibitors (17%), followed by abatacept (2.8%), IL-6 inhibitors (2.4%) and rituximab (RTX) (2.1%). During the SARS-CoV-2 infection, 95.8% had symptoms, 27% required hospitalization, 7.9% presented complications and 4.4% died due to COVID-19. Severe disease and death (WHO-OS≥5) was present in 7.5% of the patients. They were older (62.9±12.5 vs 52.2±12.7, p<0.001), and they had more frequently ILD (18.5% vs 2%, p<0.001), comorbidities (82.5% vs 43.7%, p<0.001), ≥2 comorbidities (60.3% vs 25.8%, p<0.001), treatment with GC (61% vs 40.7%, p=0.04) and RTX (8.3% vs 1.6%, p=0.007). Conversely, the use of cDMARD and TNF inhibitors was more frequent in patients with WHO-OS<5, nevertheless this difference was not significant. Disease activity was comparable between groups. In multivariable analysis, older age, the presence of diabetes, ILD, the use of GC and RTX were significantly associated with WHO-OS≥5 (Figure 1). Furthermore, older age (65.7±10.8 vs 52.4±12.8, p<0.001), the presence of comorbidities (87.9% vs 44.7%, p<0.001), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (21.9% vs 5.2%, p=0.002), diabetes (30.3% vs 7.9%, p<0.001), hypertension (57.6% vs 25.6%, p<0.001), cardiovascular disease (15.6% vs 3.2%, p=0.005), cancer (9.1% vs 1.3%, p=0.001), ILD (23.3% vs 2.4%, p<0.001) and the use of GC (61.8% vs 41.4%, p=0.02) were associated with mortality. Older age [OR 1.1 IC95% 1.06-1.13] and the use of GC 5-10 mg/day [OR 4.6 IC95% 1.8-11.6] remained significantly associated with death due to COVID-19.Figure 1.Factors associated with severe disease and death due to COVID-19 (WHO-OS≥5) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Multivariable analysis. (ref.: reference; PDN: prednisone; OR: odds ratio; CI: confidence interval)ConclusionTreatment with RTX and GC, as well as older age, the presence of diabetes and ILD were associated with poor COVID-19 outcomes in this national cohort of patients with RA. Older patients and those taking GC had a higher mortality rate.References[1]World Health Organization coronavirus disease (COVID-19) Therapeutic Trial Synopsis Draft 2020.Disclosure of InterestsNone declared

Abstract
Background:SARS-CoV-2 infection can present with a broad clinical spectrum, from asymptomatic to lethal. Different risk factors have been recognized. Socio-economic status and educational level may affect access to the healthcare system and therefore COVID-19 infection outcome.Objectives:The aim of this study was to assess the association between socio-demographic status and educational level and SARS-CoV-2 outcomes, such as hospitalization, ICU admission, need for mechanical ventilation and death, in Argentinean patients with rheumatic diseases from the SAR-COVID Registry.Methods:We performed a cross-sectional study of consecutive adult patients with rheumatic diseases and SARS-CoV-2 infection included in the multicentric Argentinean SAR-COVID Registry. The following variables were included: gender, ethnicity, age, health insurance, educational level (under or over 12 years of education), socio-economic level according to Graffar Scale in high, medium-high, medium, medium-low, low; underlying rheumatic disease, its duration and treatment at the time of infection.SARS-CoV-2 infection outcomes were: hospitalization, admission to ICU, mechanical ventilation requirement and death.Statistical analysis was performed using Chi2, Fisher, T-test, ANOVA.Results:Five hundred and twenty-five patients were included, 422 (80.4%) were female, with a mean age of 51.3 years (SD 15.2). Most of them were caucasians (48%) or mestizos (43%) and 96.8% lived in an urban environment. Almost half of the patients (47%) were categorized as middle-class, 24% middle-high or high class, 21% middle-low or low. 48.4% of the patients were employed. Regarding educational level, 54% had more than 12 years of education.The most prevalent rheumatic disease was Rheumatoid Arthritis (40.4%), followed by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (14.9%), Sjögren (5.5%) and Psoriatic Arthritis (5.5%). Treatments used at the time of SARS-CoV-2 infection were corticosteroids (19%), cs-DMARDs (49%), and b- and ts-DMARDs (16%).Overall hospitalization frequency was 35%, median hospital stay was 10 days (IQR 10 days), 11.6% were admitted to the ICU, 10% required mechanical ventilation and the global mortality was 8%.Notably, patients with less than 12 years of education required mechanical ventilation more frequently than the more educated ones (11.9% vs. 5.6%, p=0.026) and showed a higher mortality due to COVID-19 (9% vs. 2.8%, p=0.0004).Patients categorized as upper social classes (middle-high and high) were admitted to the hospital on a more frequent basis (74.4% of cases), when compared with middle class (64.4%) and middle-low and low class (58%) (p=0.77). Median duration of hospitalization for the aforementioned groups was 12.5 (IQR 17.3), 10 (IQR 9) and 10.5 (IQR 9.3) days respectively (p=0.60).Patients with health insurance were found to be hospitalized more frequently in comparison to those without insurance (42.4% vs. 33.7%, p=0.14), but showed similar admission rates to the ICU (11.8% vs. 12.8%; p=0.78), need for mechanical ventilation (10.7% vs. 8.7%; p=0.70) and mortality (7.1% vs. 6.5%; p=0.99).Caucasian patients had fewer hospital admissions when compared against other ethnicities (mestizos mostly) (26.1% vs. 43.4%; p<0.0001), but showed no statistically significant difference in need for mechanical ventilation 10.3% vs. 9.9% (p=0.99) or mortality 8.7% vs. 5.1% (p=0.15).Conclusion:Patients with lower educational level needed twice the frequency of mechanical ventilation, and showed thrice the mortality than those with more than 12 years of education.Albeit patients in upper social stratus and those with health insurance were admitted to the hospital in a more frequent manner, no statistically significant differences were found regarding the need for ICU, mechanical ventilation or mortality.Caucasians were hospitalized less frequently than mestizos, but had no significant differences in the other measured outcomes.Disclosure of Interests:Laura Sorrentino Grant/research support from: Unrestricted grants: Pfizer, Abbvie, Elea Phoenix.
