In addition, it causes a high incidence of lifestyle-related diseases and an increase in cerebrovascular and cardiovascular events. As the pathology of PsA has been clarified, molecular-targeted drugs targeting tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-17A, IL-17A/F, IL-17 receptor, IL-12/23(p40), IL-23p19, Cytotoxic T-lymphocyte Antigen-4 (CTLA-4), Janus kinase, and phosphodiesterase-4 have been developed and are widely used in clinical practice. PsA is clinically and molecularly heterogeneous, and it is necessary to improve various clinical symptoms with limited treatment options simultaneously; therefore, rheumatologists sometimes encounter difficult situations in clinical practice. Hence, the development of precision medicine may improve treatment outcomes. Recently, the strategic use of molecular-targeted drugs based on the stratification of patients with PsA by peripheral blood lymphocyte phenotyping and serum cytokine concentrations has been reported to possibly lead to a higher therapeutic response. A randomized controlled trial was initiated to verify the efficacy of this treatment strategy.

Multivariate logistic regression identified factors independently associated with IBD presence in patients with AS.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>We included a total of 2766 patients with AS (1254 from REGISPONSER and 1512 from RESPONDIA), among whom 142 patients (5.13%) presented with concomitant IBD. AS patients with concurrent IBD were less frequently male, had a lower prevalence of HLA-B27 positivity, experienced a lower prolonged diagnostic delay, had a lower frequency of enthesitis, and received more commonly intensified treatment compared to those without IBD. In terms of structural damage, the Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Radiology Index (BASRI) score for the sacroiliac joints (SIJs), cervical spine, and lumbar spine was lower in patients with AS and IBD than in those without IBD. In the multivariable analysis, the presence of IBD was significantly associated with a lower prevalence of HLA-B27 and enthesitis, with odds ratios (OR) of 0.32 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.20-0.52) and 0.58 (95% CI: 0.33-0.97), respectively. Furthermore, structural damage in SIJs (BASRI) was significantly decreased in patients with IBD, with an OR of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.64-0.99).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>The presence of IBD in AS is associated with lower HLA-B27 positivity, less enthesitis, and less radiographic damage in this large population study.</p>","PeriodicalId":23056,"journal":{"name":"Therapeutic Advances in Musculoskeletal Disease","volume":"16 ","pages":"1759720X241303316"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11607755/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142772548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
