Abstract
Objectives To evaluate change in body weight with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) in psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methods We analyzed data from a large cohort of PsA patients with at least two weight measurements over follow-up. The absolute weight difference at one year from drug initiation was evaluated across—no medications or non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), conventional synthetic (cs) DMARDs, tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin (IL)-12/23 inhibitor (i), IL-17i, IL-23i, Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi), and apremilast classes. Two separate linear mixed models examined trends in weight change before and after treatment initiation with change point modeling and factors affecting weight over follow-up. Results Of 1754 patients, 473 were on NSAIDs or no medications, 571 on csDMARDs, 702 on bDMARDs, 42 on JAKi, and 70 on apremilast. Compared with weight at drug initiation, TNFi was associated with a weight gain at one year (1.54 kg, p< 0.01), whereas no significant change was observed with other drug classes. On change-point modeling, a significant decrease in the rate of weight change was observed following IL-17i (slope 0.63 ± 0.20 vs -0.26 ± 0.25, p< 0.01), IL-23i (0.82 ± 0.34 vs -0.56 ± 0.56, p< 0.01), and csDMARDs (0.43 ± 0.24 vs -0.20 ± 0.26, p< 0.01) compared with before treatment initiation. Factors associated with weight gain over follow-up included TNFi, IL12/23i use, male sex, follow-up duration, and higher baseline weight, while with weight loss were apremilast, older age, and diabetes mellitus. Conclusion The rate of weight gain significantly decreases following the initiation of IL-17i, IL-23i, and csDMARDs in PsA. Overall, TNFi and IL12/23i use is associated with weight gain, while apremilast with weight loss.

Rheumatology strives to support research and discovery by publishing the highest quality original scientific papers with a focus on basic, clinical and translational research. The journal’s subject areas cover a wide range of paediatric and adult rheumatological conditions from an international perspective. It is an official journal of the British Society for Rheumatology, published by Oxford University Press.
Rheumatology publishes original articles, reviews, editorials, guidelines, concise reports, meta-analyses, original case reports, clinical vignettes, letters and matters arising from published material. The journal takes pride in serving the global rheumatology community, with a focus on high societal impact in the form of podcasts, videos and extended social media presence, and utilizing metrics such as Altmetric.
