(1) Background: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease associated with an increased incidence of metabolic syndrome (MetS). The aim of this study was to determine if there is an association between MetS and parameters of RA activity, as well as between metabolic parameters and indices of RA activity. (2) Methods: This study involved 65 patients with RA. MetS was diagnosed according to the 2009 IDF/AHA/NHLBI criteria. The comparative analysis was conducted between RA patients with MetS (RA (MetS (+)) and without MetS (RA (MetS (-)). The activity of RA was assessed using clinical, laboratory, and ultrasound (US) parameters. (3) Results: Compared with RA MetS (-) patients, RA MetS (+) patients were characterized by higher disease activity, according to Disease Activity Score (DAS28), Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI), and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI). RA MetS (+) patients had significantly higher tender and swollen joint counts, and values of erythrocyte sedimentation rate, -reactive protein, and US parameters (grey-scale (GSUS), power Doppler (PDUS)). Significant correlations were found between metabolic parameters (waist circumference, cholesterol and glucose concentrations) and indices of RA activity. (4) Conclusion: The results of this study show that, in patients with RA, the presence of MetS is associated with higher disease activity, based on several clinical, laboratory, and US parameters.
(1) 背景:类风湿关节炎(RA)是一种慢性自身免疫性疾病,与代谢综合征(MetS)的发病率增加有关。本研究旨在确定 MetS 是否与 RA 活动参数有关,以及代谢参数与 RA 活动指数之间是否存在关联。 (2) 方法:本研究纳入了 65 例 RA 患者。根据 2009 年 IDF/AHA/NHLBI 标准诊断 MetS。对合并 MetS(RA(MetS(+))和未合并 MetS(RA(MetS(-))的 RA 患者进行了比较分析。采用临床、实验室和超声(US)参数评估 RA 活动。 (3) 结果:与 RA MetS(-)患者相比,RA MetS(+)患者的疾病活动度更高,根据疾病活动评分(DAS28)、简化疾病活动指数(SDAI)和临床疾病活动指数(CDAI)评估。RA MetS(+)患者的压痛关节和肿胀关节数以及红细胞沉降率、C 反应蛋白和 US 参数(灰阶(GSUS)、能量多普勒(PDUS))值均显著升高。代谢参数(腰围、胆固醇和葡萄糖浓度)与 RA 活动指数之间存在显著相关性。 (4) 结论:本研究结果表明,在 RA 患者中,MetS 的存在与基于多个临床、实验室和 US 参数的更高疾病活动度相关。
