摘要

本研究评估了德国系统性红斑狼疮（SLE）的患病率和发病率，并探索了治疗顺序(SOT；临床用药顺序)。方法:这项回顾性、观察性、纵向队列研究使用来自WIG2 GmbH科学研究所卫生经济和卫生系统研究数据库（2011年1月- 2019年12月）的德国索赔数据，外推到法定健康保险（SHI）参保人群，评估流行病学分析组的患病率和发病率以及事件队列（亚组≥18岁，发生疾病，在索引日期后随访≥24个月）的SLE治疗模式。分析是描述性的。结果：基于流行病学分析（N = 3017）， SHI人群SLE年患病率从2012年的40.47 / 10万逐渐上升至2019年的59.87 / 10万。相比之下，SLE的年发病率相对稳定，从2012年的8.83到2019年的8.86。在事件队列（n = 941）中，基于SOT分析（n = 681）， bbb60天的治疗间隔很常见：SOT1、SOT2和SOT3分别为67.1%、51.2%和54.9%。皮质类固醇是SOT1中最常见的单药治疗（31.0% vs 0% SOT2/SOT3）；30.0% -70.0%的患者接受了皮质类固醇联合治疗。在每种SOT中，50%以上的患者接受了抗疟治疗（联合或单一治疗）。生物疾病缓解药物的使用较低，从SOT1的0.4%到SOT3的9.7%不等。结论：我们的数据显示，德国SLE患病率增加，发病率稳定，这表明受影响患者的生存率提高。然而，次优治疗模式，包括有限使用生物制剂，反映了SLE患者对优化和个性化治疗的高度未满足需求。

Real-World Prevalence, Incidence and Management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in Germany: A Retrospective Claims Data Analysis.

Introduction: This study evaluated the prevalence and incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in Germany and explored real-world data on sequence of therapy (SOT; sequence of drugs as prescribed in clinical practice).

Methods: This retrospective, observational, longitudinal cohort study using German claims data from the WIG2 GmbH Scientific Institute for Health Economics and Health System Research database (January 2011-December 2019), extrapolated to the statutory health insurance (SHI)-insured population, evaluated prevalence and incidence in an epidemiological analysis group and SLE treatment patterns in an incident cohort (subgroup ≥ 18 years of age with incident disease and ≥ 24-month follow-up post index date). Analyses were descriptive.

Results: Based on the epidemiological analysis (N = 3017), annual SLE prevalence per 100,000 gradually increased from 40.47 in 2012 to 59.87 in 2019 in the SHI population. In contrast, annual SLE incidence was relatively stable, ranging from 8.83 in 2012 to 8.86 in 2019. In the incident cohort (n = 941), based on SOT analysis (n = 681), treatment gaps of > 60 days were common: 67.1%, 51.2% and 54.9% in SOT1, SOT2 and SOT3, respectively. Corticosteroids were the most frequent monotherapy in SOT1 (31.0% vs 0% in SOT2/SOT3); 30.0-70.0% of patients received a corticosteroid combination therapy across SOTs. Over 50% of patients in each SOT received an antimalarial therapy (combination or monotherapies). The use of biologic disease-modifying drugs was low, ranging from 0.4% in SOT1 to 9.7% in SOT3.

Conclusions: Our data demonstrate an increased prevalence of SLE with stable incidence in Germany, suggesting improved survival of affected patients. Nevertheless, suboptimal treatment patterns, including limited use of biologics, reflect a high unmet need for optimised and personalised therapies in patients with SLE.

期刊介绍： Aims and Scope Rheumatology and Therapy is an international, open access, peer reviewed, rapid publication journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of rheumatologic therapies. Studies relating to diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also welcomed. Areas of focus include, but are not limited to, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, gouty arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, osteoarthritis, juvenile idiopathic/rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, axial spondyloarthritis, Pompe’s disease, inflammatory joint conditions, musculoskeletal conditions, systemic sclerosis, and fibromyalgia. The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, case reports, trial protocols, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Rheumatology and Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research. Ethics and Disclosures The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and subscribes to its principles on how to deal with acts of misconduct thereby committing to investigate allegations of misconduct in order to ensure the integrity of research. Content in this journal is peer-reviewed (Single-blind). For more information on our publishing ethics policies, please see here: https://www.springer.com/gp/editorial-policies Rapid Publication The journal’s rapid publication timelines aim for a peer review decision within 2 weeks of submission. If an article is accepted it will be published online 3-4 weeks from acceptance. These rapid timelines are achieved through the combination of a dedicated in-house editorial team, who closely manage article workflow, and an extensive Editorial and Advisory Board who assist with rapid peer review. This allows the journal to support the rapid dissemination of research, whilst still providing robust peer review. Combined with the journal’s open access model this allows for the rapid and efficient communication of the latest research and reviews, allowing the advancement of rheumatologic therapies. Personal Service The journal’s dedicated in-house editorial team offer a personal “concierge service” meaning that authors will always have a personal point of contact able to update them on the status of their manuscript. The editorial team check all manuscripts to ensure that articles conform to the most recent COPE, GPP and ICMJE publishing guidelines. This supports the publication of ethically sound and transparent research. We also encourage pre-submission enquiries and are always happy to provide a confidential assessment of manuscripts. Digital Features Rheumatology and Therapy offers a range of additional features designed to increase the visibility, readership and educational value of the journal’s content. Each article is accompanied by key summary points, giving a time-efficient overview of the content to a wide readership. Articles may be accompanied by plain language summaries to assist readers who have some knowledge of, but not in-depth expertise in, the area to understand the scientific content and overall implications of the article. The journal also provides the option to include various types of digital features including animated abstracts, video abstracts, slide decks, audio slides, instructional videos, infographics, podcasts and animations. All additional features are peer reviewed to the same high standard as the article itself. If you consider that your paper would benefit from the inclusion of a digital feature, please let us know. Our editorial team are able to create high-quality slide decks and infographics in-house, and video abstracts through our partner Research Square, and would be happy to assist in any way we can. For further information about digital features, please contact the journal editor (see ‘Contact the Journal’ for email address), and see the ‘Guidelines for digital features and plain language summaries’ document under ‘Submission guidelines’. For examples of digital features please visit: https://springerhealthcare.com/expertise/publishing-digital-features/ Preprints We encourage posting of preprints of primary research manuscripts on preprint servers, authors'' or institutional websites, and open communications between researchers whether on community preprint servers or preprint commenting platforms. Posting of preprints is not considered prior publication and will not jeopardize consideration in our journals. Authors should disclose details of preprint posting during the submission process or at any other point during consideration in the journal. Once the manuscript is published, it is the author''s responsibility to ensure that the preprint record is updated with a publication reference, including the DOI and a URL link to the published version of the article on the journal website. Please see here for further information on preprint sharing: https://www.springer.com/gp/authors-editors/journal-author/journal-author-helpdesk/submission/1302#c16721550 Peer Review Process Upon submission, manuscripts are assessed by the editorial team to ensure they fit within the aims and scope of the journal and are also checked for plagiarism. All suitable submissions are then subject to a comprehensive single-blind peer review. Reviewers are selected based on their relevant expertise and publication history in the subject area. The journal has an extensive pool of editorial and advisory board members who have been selected to assist with peer review based on the afore-mentioned criteria. At least two extensive reviews are required to make the editorial decision. Where reviewer recommendations are conflicted, the editorial board will be contacted for further advice and a presiding decision. Manuscripts are then either accepted, rejected or authors are required to make major or minor revisions (both reviewer comments and editorial comments may need to be addressed). Once a revised manuscript is re-submitted, it is assessed along with the responses to reviewer comments and if it has been adequately revised it will be accepted for publication. Accepted manuscripts are then copyedited and typeset by the production team before online publication. Appeals against decisions following peer review are considered on a case-by-case basis and should be sent to the journal editor, and authors are welcome to make rebuttals against individual reviewer comments if appropriate. Considering the time and effort required for a detailed peer review we reward our regular reviewers with the opportunity to publish without publication fees (pending peer review) for every three reviews completed per calendar year.
