The purpose of this study was to (1) evaluate baseline characteristics of nonradiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) treated with tumor necrosis factor-α inhibitors (TNFi), (2) assess the response to first TNFi treatment, and (3) compare drug-survival duration and rates.
Inclusion criteria were patients with axSpA who initiated first TNFi treatment between April 2001 and July 2014 and were followed up for at least 3 months. Efficacy criteria were an improvement of at least 2 points (on a 0-10 scale) or a 50% improvement in the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). Baseline characteristics, responses at 12 months, and drug survival were compared between AS and nr-axSpA.
A total of 361 patients were included in the study (AS, n = 263 and nr-axSpA, n = 98). Patients with AS were more often men (65.02% vs 45.92%, p = 0.001) and had longer symptom duration (11.71 ± 9.52 vs 7.34 ± 9.30 yrs, p < 0.001). Median levels of acute-phase reactants (C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate) were significantly higher in patients with AS (p < 0.001 for both). Median BASDAI scores at first TNFi initiation were not higher in patients with nr-axSpA than in patients with AS (59, 49-70 vs 60, 50-70, p = 0.73). BASDAI 20 and BASDAI 50 response rates at 12 months were not statistically different between patients with AS and patients with nr-axSpA (74.58% vs 64.58%, p = 0.19 and 61.02% vs 50.00%, p = 0.19, respectively). No statistically significant difference in terms of survival was observed between patients with AS and nr-axSpA (p = 1.00).
Treatment response and drug survival were similar in patients with AS and nr-axSpA after first TNFi initiation.
本研究的目的是(1)评估接受肿瘤坏死因子-α抑制剂(TNFi)治疗的非放射学轴向性脊柱关节炎(nr-axSpA)和强直性脊柱炎(AS)的基线特征,(2)评估首次TNFi治疗的反应,以及(3)比较药物生存时间和比率。
纳入标准为2001年4月至2014年7月开始首次TNFi治疗且随访至少3个月的axSpA患者。疗效标准为巴斯强直性脊柱炎疾病活动指数(BASDAI)至少改善2分(0-10分制)或改善50%。比较AS和nr-axSpA的基线特征、12个月时的反应以及药物生存情况。
本研究共纳入361例患者(AS,n = 263;nr-axSpA,n = 98)。AS患者男性比例更高(65.02%对45.92%,p = 0.001),症状持续时间更长(11.71±9.52对7.34±9.30年,p < 0.001)。AS患者急性期反应物(C反应蛋白和红细胞沉降率)的中位数水平显著更高(两者p均< 0.001)。首次使用TNFi时,nr-axSpA患者的BASDAI中位数评分并不高于AS患者(59,49-70对60,50-70,p = 0.73)。AS患者和nr-axSpA患者在12个月时的BASDAI 20和BASDAI 50反应率无统计学差异(分别为74.58%对64.58%,p = 0.19;61.02%对50.00%,p = 0.19)。AS患者和nr-axSpA患者在生存方面未观察到统计学显著差异(p = 1.00)。
首次使用TNFi后,AS患者和nr-axSpA患者的治疗反应和药物生存情况相似。
