This study aims to investigate 1-year hand bone loss (HBL) in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients treated with a methotrexate (MTX) and intra-articular triamcinolone treat-to-target strategy +/- adalimumab and to determine if HBL is associated with radiographic progression after 2 years. In a clinical trial (OPERA) of 180 treatment-naive early RA patients, bone mineral density (BMD) was estimated from hand radiographs with digital X-ray radiogrammetry (DXR) at baseline, after 6 (n = 90) and 12 months (n = 70) of follow-up. Baseline and 2-year radiographs were scored according to the Sharp/van der Heijde method. Baseline characteristics and HBL (0-6 months changes in DXR-BMD) were investigated as predictors of structural damage by univariate linear (∆ total Sharp/van der Heijde score (TSS) as dependent variable) and logistic (+/-radiographic progression (∆TSS >0) as dependent variable) regression analyses. Variables with p < 0.10 were included in multivariable models. In 70 patients with available HBL data, HBL was median (interquartile range (IQR)) -1.9 (-3.3; -0.26 mg/cm) in the MTX + placebo group and -1.8 (-3.6; 0.06) mg/cm in the MTX + adalimumab group, p = 0.98, Wilcoxon signed-rank. Increased HBL (compared to general population reference values) was found in 26/37 and 23/33 patients in the MTX + placebo and MTX + adalimumab groups, chi-squared = 0.99. In 90 patients with HBL data and 2-year radiographic data, HBL was independently associated with ∆TSS after 2 years (β = -0.086 (95% confidence interval = -0.15; -0.025) TSS unit/mg/cm increase, p = 0.006) but not with presence of radiographic progression (∆TSS >0) (OR 0.96 (0.92-1.0), p = 0.10). In early RA patients treated with a methotrexate-based treat-to-target strategy, the majority of patients had increased HBL, irrespective of adalimumab; HBL was independently associated with ∆TSS after 2 years.
本研究旨在调查采用甲氨蝶呤(MTX)和关节腔内注射曲安奈德达标治疗策略±阿达木单抗治疗的早期类风湿关节炎(RA)患者1年的手部骨质流失(HBL)情况,并确定HBL是否与2年后的影像学进展相关。在一项针对180例初治早期RA患者的临床试验(OPERA)中,在基线、随访6个月(n = 90)和12个月(n = 70)时,采用数字X线摄影测量法(DXR)从手部X线片估算骨密度(BMD)。根据Sharp/van der Heijde方法对基线和2年时的X线片进行评分。通过单变量线性回归分析(以∆总Sharp/van der Heijde评分(TSS)为因变量)和逻辑回归分析(以±影像学进展(∆TSS>0)为因变量),研究基线特征和HBL(DXR-BMD在0 - 6个月的变化)作为结构损伤的预测因素。p < 0.10的变量纳入多变量模型。在70例有可用HBL数据的患者中,MTX + 安慰剂组的HBL中位数(四分位间距(IQR))为-1.9(-3.3;-0.26mg/cm),MTX + 阿达木单抗组为-1.8(-3.6;0.06)mg/cm,Wilcoxon符号秩检验,p = 0.98。MTX + 安慰剂组和MTX + 阿达木单抗组分别有26/37和23/33例患者的HBL增加(与一般人群参考值相比),卡方检验 = 0.99。在90例有HBL数据和2年影像学数据的患者中,HBL与2年后的∆TSS独立相关(β = -0.086(95%置信区间 = -0.15;-0.025)TSS单位/mg/cm增加,p = 0.006),但与影像学进展的存在(∆TSS>0)无关(比值比0.96(0.92 - 1.0),p = 0.10)。在采用以甲氨蝶呤为基础的达标治疗策略治疗的早期RA患者中,无论是否使用阿达木单抗,大多数患者的HBL都增加;HBL与2年后的∆TSS独立相关。
