This study was conducted to evaluate the extent to which disease-modifying antirheumatic medications (DMARDs) used as part of a triple therapy for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) including methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and hydroxychloroquine are associated with fractures in postmenopausal women with RA. Incident fractures following use of methotrexate, sulfasalazine, and/or hydroxychloroquine in postmenopausal women with RA in the Women's Health Initiative were estimated by Cox proportional hazards using hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% CIs after consideration of potential confounders. There were 1201 women with RA enrolled in the Women's Health Initiative included in these analyses, of which 74% were white, 17% were black, and 9% were of other or unknown race/ethnicity. Of the women with RA, 421 (35%) had not used methotrexate, sulfasalazine, or hydroxychloroquine, whereas 519 (43%) women had used methotrexate, 83 (7%) sulfasalazine, and 363 (30%) hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination at some time during study follow-up. Over a median length of 6.46 years of follow-up, in multivariable adjusted models, no statistically significant association was found between methotrexate (HR, 1.1; 95% CI, 0.8-1.6), sulfasalazine (HR, 0.6; 95% CI, 0.2-1.5), or hydroxychloroquine (HR, 1.0; 95% CI, 0.7-1.5) use and incident fractures or between combination therapy with methotrexate and sulfasalazine or methotrexate and hydroxychloroquine use (HR, 0.9; 95% CI, 0.5-1.6) and incident fractures. In conclusion, postmenopausal women with RA receiving any component of triple therapy should not be expected to have any substantial reduction in fracture risk from use of these DMARDs. © 2020 The Authors. published by Wiley Periodicals LLC on behalf of American Society for Bone and Mineral Research.
本研究旨在评估作为类风湿关节炎(RA)三联疗法一部分使用的改善病情抗风湿药物(DMARDs),包括甲氨蝶呤、柳氮磺吡啶和羟氯喹,与绝经后RA女性骨折之间的关联程度。在女性健康倡议(Women's Health Initiative)中,通过Cox比例风险模型,在考虑潜在混杂因素后,使用风险比(HRs)和95%置信区间(CIs)估计绝经后RA女性使用甲氨蝶呤、柳氮磺吡啶和/或羟氯喹后的新发骨折情况。这些分析纳入了1201名参与女性健康倡议的RA女性,其中74%为白人,17%为黑人,9%为其他或未知种族/族裔。在RA女性中,421名(35%)未使用过甲氨蝶呤、柳氮磺吡啶或羟氯喹,而519名(43%)女性在研究随访期间的某个时间单独或联合使用过甲氨蝶呤,83名(7%)使用过柳氮磺吡啶,363名(30%)使用过羟氯喹。在中位随访时间6.46年的多变量调整模型中,未发现甲氨蝶呤(HR,1.1;95%CI,0.8 - 1.6)、柳氮磺吡啶(HR,0.6;95%CI,0.2 - 1.5)或羟氯喹(HR,1.0;95%CI,0.7 - 1.5)的使用与新发骨折之间存在统计学显著关联,也未发现甲氨蝶呤与柳氮磺吡啶或甲氨蝶呤与羟氯喹联合治疗(HR,0.9;95%CI,0.5 - 1.6)与新发骨折之间存在统计学显著关联。总之,接受三联疗法任何一种成分治疗的绝经后RA女性,不应期望因使用这些DMARDs而使骨折风险大幅降低。© 2020作者。由Wiley Periodicals LLC代表美国骨与矿物质研究学会出版。
