Methods Clinical and patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) were assessed in patients with PsA at 3 consecutive follow-up visits in a UK multicenter observational study. Shortened versions of the Composite Psoriatic Arthritis Disease Activity Index (CPDAI) and Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA) Composite Exercise (GRACE) measures were developed using PROMs and tested against the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28), composite Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis, and Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data (RAPID3). Discrimination between disease states and responsiveness were tested with the t-score, standardized response mean (SRM), and effect size (ES). Data were presented to members at the GRAPPA 2020 annual meeting and members voted on the recommended composite routine practice. Results The SRM for the GRACE, 3 visual analog scale (VAS), and 4VAS were 0.67, 0.77, and 0.63, respectively, and for CPDAI and shortened CPDAI (sCPDAI) were 0.54 and 0.55, respectively. Shortened versions of the GRACE increased the t-score from 7.8 to 8.7 (3VAS) and 9.0 (4VAS), but reduced the t-score in the CPDAI/sCPDAI from 6.8 and 6.1. The 3VAS and 4VAS had superior performance characteristics to the sCPDAI, DAS28, Disease Activity in Psoriatic Arthritis, and RAPID3 in all tests. Of the members, 60% agreed that the VAS scales contained enough information to assess disease and response to treatment, 53% recommended the 4VAS for use in routine care, and 26% the 3VAS, while leaving 21% undecided. Conclusion. Shortening the GRACE to VAS scores alone enhances the ability to detect status and responsiveness and has the best performance characteristics of the tested composite measures. GRAPPA members recommend further testing of the 3VAS and 4VAS in observational and trial datasets.","PeriodicalId":35278,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of rheumatology.

Polymorphisms in human major histocompatibility complex (MHC) are the strongest genetic associations with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Epigenome-wide methylation studies suggest DNA methylation changes within MHC may contribute to disease susceptibility. We profiled MHC-specific methylated CpG (5′–C–phosphate–G–3′) in autoantibody-positive patients with RA and matched unaffected anticitrullinated protein antibodies–negative first-degree relatives (ACPA−/FDR) from an indigenous North American (INA) population that is known to have prevalent RA. Methods. DNA was isolated from whole blood and targeted bisulfite sequencing was used to profile methylated CpG in patients with RA and ACPA−/FDR. Differentially methylated CpG loci (DML) were mapped and gene annotated. Ingenuity pathway analysis (IPA) was used for curating biomolecular networks of mapped genes. Transcript abundance was determined by quantitative (q)PCR. Results. We identified 74 uniquely methylated CpG sites within the MHC region that were differentially methylated in patients with RA (p < 0.05), compared to ACPA−/FDR. Of these, 32 DML were located on 22 genes. IPA showed these genes are involved in regulating the nuclear factor–κB complex and processes involved in antigen presentation, and immune cell crosstalk in autoimmunity. Pearson correlation analysis demonstrated a negative association between differentially methylated CpG in the C6ORF10 gene and risk factors associated with RA. Analysis by qPCR confirmed differential abundance of C6ORF10, TNXB, and HCG18 mRNA in patients with RA compared to ACPA−/FDR. Conclusion. Our results confirm the presence of differential methylation at specific gene loci within the MHC region of INA patients with RA. These epigenetic signatures may precede disease onset, or alternatively, may be a result of developing RA.","PeriodicalId":35278,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of rheumatology.

METHODS Data of patients with DM, PM or CADM who were admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University (FAHZJU) from February 2011 to February 2019 were retrospectively collected. Patients diagnosed with HLH constituted the case group. A 1:4 casecontrol study was performed to identify risk factors for HLH in patients with DM, PM or CADM through comparison, univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Intragroup comparison was made within HLH patients to identify factors influencing unfavorable short-term outcome. RESULTS HLH was a rare (4.2%) but fatal (77.8%) complication in patients with DM, PM or CADM. The retrospective case-control study revealed that higher on-admission disease activity (P=0.008), acute exacerbation of interstitial lung disease (AE-ILD, P=0.002) and infection (P=0.002) were risk factors for complication of HLH in patients with DM, PM or CADM. The following intragroup comparison showed that higher on-admission disease activity (P=0.035) and diagnosis of CADM (P=0.039) might influence the short-term outcome of HLH patients. However, no risk factor was identified after false discovery rate correction. CONCLUSION In this study, secondary HLH was a fatal complication with higher on-admission disease activity, AE-ILD and infection working as risk factors. The underlying role of infection and autoimmune abnormality in HLH in connective tissue disease (CTD) was subsequently brought up. Clinical factors influencing the short-term outcome of patients with secondary HLH required further exploration.","PeriodicalId":35278,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of rheumatology.

We derived a remission prediction score for TCZ monotherapy (TCZm) using RCT data and performed an external validation of the prediction score using real-world data (RWD). Methods We identified patients in the Corrona RA registry who used TCZm (n = 452), and matched the design and patients from 4 RCTs used in previous work (n = 853). Patients were followed to determine remission status at 24 weeks. We compared the performance of remission prediction models in RWD, first based on variables determined in our prior work in RCTs, and then using an extended variable set, comparing logistic regression and random forest models. We included patients on other biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drug monotherapies (bDMARDm) to improve prediction. Results The fraction of patients observed reaching remission on TCZm by their follow-up visit was 12% (n = 53) in RWD vs 15% (n = 127) in RCTs. Discrimination was good in RWD for the risk score developed in RCTs, with area under the receiver-operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.69 (95% CI 0.62–0.75). Fitting the same logistic regression model to all bDMARDm patients in the RWD improved the AUROC on held-out TCZm patients to 0.72 (95% CI 0.63–0.81). Extending the variable set and adding regularization further increased it to 0.76 (95% CI 0.67–0.84). Conclusion The remission prediction scores, derived in RCTs, discriminated patients in RWD about as well as in RCTs.
