Title: RA – Diagnosis, Manifestations, & Outcomes Poster III: Comorbidities
Session Type: Poster Session (Tuesday)
Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM
Background/Purpose: Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) is a severe extraarticular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) has a poor prognosis. Effectives treatments in RA such as anti-TNF have been implicated in the exacerbation of ILD.
Our objective was see the efficacy of Abatacept in ILD associated with RA.
Methods: Retrospective multicenter study of RA patients with ILD treated with ABA atleast for 3 doses. The ILD was diagnosed by HRCT. We have analyzed the following variables: a) 1-point change the Modified Medical Research Council (MMRC); b) FVC improvement or decline ≥10%; improvement or decrline ≥10% in DLCO c) radiological improvement in HRCT scan, d) changes in DAS28 score. e) prednisone dose. Values were compared with baseline.
Results: We studied 263 patients (150 women /113 men) with ILD associated to RA. The patients were smokers or exsmoker in a 53%. APCC was positive in 88.6%. The follow-up mean was 22.66±19.66 months. The mean age was 64.64 ± 10 years. The median to progression of ILD was 12 [3-41.25] months. The mean DLCO at onset was 65,68±18.33 and the FVC at onset was 85.88±21.77 111 patients were treated in monotherapy.
The most frequent pattern was UIP 41,6% 32,7% NSIP 24,7% “others” thats include mixed patterns BONO or BO.
The Figure1 expresses the evolution of the avalible data.
DAS28 also improved from 4.501±1.486 to 3.107±1.333 and we also appreciate a decrease in the dose of prednisone from the initial mean 7.5 [5-10] to the final mean 5mg [5-7.5]. The global mean of FVC at the end of follow up was 85.3±20.69 the global mean of DLCO at the end of follow up was 65.35±19.88 both similar to the onset mean.
Conclusion: Abatacept could be a relatively safe and effective treatment for patients with interstitial lung involvement associated with rheumatoid arthritis. However, should be verified in prospective and randomized studies.
