Abstract

Objective: Data from trials demonstrated that abatacept (ABA) has a good safety and efficacy profile in treating rheumatoid arthritis. We have studied the retention rate of ABA in a real-life cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: This is a monocentric, retrospective study including patients with rheumatoid arthritis classified by the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism 2010 criteria who started treatment with ABA. The Kaplan-Meier method was applied to evaluate the ABA retention rate.

Results: This analysis was conducted on 161 patients [male/female 21/140, median age 65 years, interquartile range (IQR) 18.7, median disease duration 169 months, IQR 144.0]. 111 patients (68.9%) received ABA subcutaneously. ABA was associated with methotrexate in 61.9% of patients and was the first biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug in 41%. We observed a median ABA survival of 66 months [95% confidence interval (CI) 57.3-74.7], with a retention rate of 88% at 6 months and 50.9% at 5 years. Drug survival was significantly higher in patients treated with ABA subcutaneously and in male patients (p=0.039 and p=0.018, respectively). Adjusted for main confounders, female gender was the main predictor of withdrawal (hazard ratio 5.1, 95% CI 1.2-21.3).

Conclusions: Our study shows that better survival is associated with subcutaneous administration and male gender, confirming ABA effectiveness.

类风湿关节炎患者在现实生活中的阿巴他赛保留率：单中心队列的结果。

目的：试验数据表明，阿巴他赛（ABA）在治疗类风湿关节炎方面具有良好的安全性和有效性。我们研究了类风湿关节炎患者队列中阿巴他赛普的保留率：这是一项单中心回顾性研究，研究对象包括根据美国风湿病学会/欧洲抗风湿联盟 2010 年标准分类的类风湿关节炎患者，他们都开始接受 ABA 治疗。采用卡普兰-梅耶法评估 ABA 的保留率：分析对象为 161 名患者[男性/女性 21/140，中位年龄 65 岁，四分位数间距 (IQR) 18.7，中位病程 169 个月，IQR 144.0]。111名患者（68.9%）皮下注射了ABA。在61.9%的患者中，ABA与甲氨蝶呤同时使用，在41%的患者中，ABA是第一种生物改变病情抗风湿药物。我们观察到，ABA 的中位生存期为 66 个月[95% 置信区间 (CI) 为 57.3-74.7]，6 个月和 5 年的保留率分别为 88% 和 50.9%。皮下注射 ABA 的患者和男性患者的药物存活率明显更高（分别为 p=0.039 和 p=0.018）。对主要混杂因素进行调整后，女性性别是预测停药的主要因素（危险比 5.1，95% CI 1.2-21.3）：我们的研究表明，皮下注射和男性性别与更好的存活率有关，证实了 ABA 的有效性。
