Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Clinical manifestations, disease activity and disease burden of radiographic versus non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis over 5 years of follow-up in the DESIR cohort» a été publié dans le journal Ann Rheum Dis.
López-Medina C, Molto A, Claudepierre P, Dougados M.
OBJECTIVES:
To compare the clinical manifestations, disease activity and disease burden between patients with radiographic (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (nr-axSpA) over a 5-year follow-up period in the Devenir des Spondylarthropathies Indifferénciées Récentes (DESIR) cohort.
METHODS:
Patients from the DESIR cohort who had X-ray images of the sacroiliac joints available at baseline and did not leave the study during the 5-year follow-up period because of a diagnosis other than axSpA were included. A unilateral rating of ‘obvious sacroiliitis’ by the local reader was considered sufficient for classification as r-axSpA. The incidence of first episodes of peripheral and extra-rheumatic manifestations was compared between the two groups using the incidence rate ratio and Cox regressions adjusted for sex, age and tumour necrosis factor blocker (TNFb) intake. Mean values of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) and days of sick leave over 5 years of follow-up were compared using mixed models adjusted for sex, age, TNFb intake and baseline values.
RESULTS:
In total, 669 patients were included, of whom 185 (27.7%) and 484 (72.3%) were classified as r-axSpA and nr-axSpA, respectively. At baseline, the r-axSpA patients showed a significantly higher prevalence of males. After adjusting for age, sex and TNFb intake, Cox regressions for peripheral and extra-rheumatic manifestations did not show any significant differences between groups. Mixed models also showed similar mean levels in PROs and days of sick leave between groups over time.
CONCLUSION:
The incidence of peripheral and extra-rheumatic manifestations as well as the disease burden over time remained similar between r-axSpA and nr-axSpA groups after adjusting for intermediate variables.

Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Association of lumbosacral transitional vertebra and sacroiliitis in patients with inflammatory back pain suggesting axial spondyloarthritis.» a été publié dans le journal Rheumatology (Oxford).
Carvajal Alegria G, Voirin-Hertz M, Garrigues F, Herbette M, Deloire L, Simon A, Feydy A, Reijnierse M, van der Heijde D, Marhadour T, Saraux A.
OBJECTIVE:
Lumbosacral transitional vertebras (LSTVs) are common in the general population, but their potential impact on the sacroiliac joints is unclear. We aimed to determine the prevalence of LSTVs and to assess their associations with sacroiliitis by standard radiography and MRI in a population with suspected axial spondyloarthritis.
METHODS:
The data were from the DESIR cohort of 688 patients aged 18-50 years with inflammatory low back pain for ⩾3 months but <3 years suggesting axial spondyloarthritis. The baseline pelvic radiographs were read by two blinded readers for the presence and type (Castellvi classification) of LSTVs. Associations between LSTVs and other variables collected at baseline and at the diagnosis were assessed using the χ2 test (or Fisher’s exact test) or the Mann-Whitney test.
RESULTS:
LSTV was found in 200/688 (29.1%) patients. Castellvi type was Ia in 54 (7.8%), Ib in 76 (11.0%), IIa in 20 (2.9%), IIb in 12 (1.7%), IIIa in 7 (1.0%), IIIb in 21 (3.0%) and IV in 10 (1.4%) patients. Compared with the group without LSTVs, the group with LSTVs had higher proportions of patients meeting modified New York criteria for radiographic sacroiliitis (19% vs 27%, respectively; P = 0.013) and Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society MRI criteria for sacroiliitis (29% vs 39%, respectively; P = 0.019).
CONCLUSION:
In patients with inflammatory back pain suggesting axial spondyloarthritis, LSTVs are associated with both radiographic and MRI sacroiliitis.

Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Baseline MRI inflammation is not a determinant of 5-year bone mineral density loss in patients with early spondyloarthritis» a été publié dans le journal Joint Bone Spine.
Fechtenbaum M, Molto A, Roux C, Goupille P, Chevret S, Briot K.
OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study was to assess the effect of baseline inflammation on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) on the change in Bone Mineral Density (BMD) over 5 years in patients with early spondyloarthritis (SpA).
METHODS:
From the patients of the DESIR cohort (an early axial SpA cohort), patients with BMD data at both baseline and 5 years, and baseline spine and sacroiliac joints MRI were included. Inflammation was assessed with the SpondyloArthritis Research Consortium of Canada (SPARCC) spine score. Significant BMD loss was defined by a change of >0.03g/cm2. No patients had received TNF blockers before inclusion in the cohort. Univariate and multivariable prognostic analyses were performed. An inverse propensity score weighting method was used to handle confounders.
RESULTS:
One hundred and eighty-three patients were included (mean age 33.9±8.7 years, 58.5% men). A significant bone loss was reported in 51% (n=92) of patients at either lumbar spine or hip. Fourteen (7%) patients had low BMD (Z-score <-2) at the end of the follow-up vs. 28 (15%) at baseline. In multivariable analysis, age was a protective factor of 5 year-BMD loss at any site (OR=0.96, 95% CI [0.93-0.99]). Baseline MRI inflammation has no significant effect on BMD change at any site (OR=0.84, 95% CI [0.46-1.53]).
CONCLUSION:
Half of patients with early SpA have a significant bone loss at either lumbar spine or hip over 5 years. Baseline MRI inflammation is not a determinant of this bone loss.

Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Spinal-pelvic orientation: potential effect on the diagnosis of spondyloarthritis.» a été publié dans le journal Rheumatology (Oxford).
Carvajal Alegria G, Deloire L, Herbette M, Garrigues F, Gossec L, Simon A, Feydy A, Reijnierse M, van der Heijde D, Loeuille D, Claudepierre P, Marhadour T, Saraux A.
OBJECTIVE:
To assess associations of spinal-pelvic orientation with clinical and imaging-study findings suggesting axial SpA (axSpA) in patients with recent-onset inflammatory back pain.
METHODS:
Spinal-pelvic orientation was assessed in DESIR cohort patients with recent-onset inflammatory back pain and suspected axSpA, by using lateral lumbar-spine radiographs to categorize sacral horizontal angle (<40° vs ⩾40°), lumbosacral angle (<15° vs ⩾15°) and lumbar lordosis (LL, <50° vs ⩾50°). Associations between these angle groups and variables collected at baseline and 2 years later were assessed using the χ2 test (or Fisher’s exact) and the Mann-Whitney test. With Bonferroni’s correction, P < 0.001 indicated significant differences.
RESULTS:
Of 362 patients, 358, 356 and 357 had available sacral horizontal angle, lumbosacral angle and LL values, respectively; means were 39.3°, 14.6° and 53.0°, respectively. The prevalence of sacroiliitis on both radiographs and MRI was higher in the LL < 50° group than in the LL ⩾50° group, but the difference was not statistically significant. Clinical presentation and confidence in a diagnosis of axSpA did not differ across angle groups. No significant differences were identified for degenerative changes according to sacral horizontal angle, lumbosacral angle or LL.
CONCLUSION:
Spinal-pelvic balance was not statistically associated with the clinical or imaging-study findings suggesting axSpA in patients with recent-onset inflammatory back pain.

Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Associations of lumbar scoliosis with presentation of suspected early axial spondyloarthritis.» a été publié dans le journal Semin Arthritis Rheum.
Voirin-Hertz M, Carvajal Alegria G, Garrigues F, Simon A, Feydy A, Reijnierse M, van der Heijde D, Loeuille D, Claudepierre P, Marhadour T, Saraux A.
OBJECTIVE:
Scoliosis may impact the mechanical loading and cause secondary changes of the sacroiliac joints and lumbar spine. Our goal was to look how lumbar scoliosis modify the clinical and imaging-study in patients with recent-onset inflammatory back pain (IBP) suggesting axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).
METHODS:
Baseline weight-bearing lumbar-spine radiographs obtained in the DESIR cohort of patients aged 18-50 years and having IBP for at least 3 months but less than 3 years suggesting axSpA were studied. After training on scoliosis detection based on Cobb’s angle>10° plus Nash-Moe grade≥1, readers blinded to patient data measured spine lumbar scoliosis, sacral horizontal angle, lumbosacral angle and lumbar lordosis on the radiograph of the lumbar and scored sacroiliitis on the radiograph of the pelvis. Baseline MRIs T1 and STIR of the lumbar spine and sacroiliac joints were evaluated for respectively degenerative changes and signs of axSpA.
RESULTS:
Of the 360 patients (50.8% females) 88.7% had lumbar pain and 69.3% met ASAS criteria for axSpA. Mean Cobb’s angle was 3.2°±5.0° and 28 (7.7%) patients had lumbar scoliosis. No statistical differences were observed for radiographic sacroiliitis, MRI sacroiliitis, modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spinal Score, Pfirmmann score, high-intensity zone, protrusion, extrusion, MODIC score between patients with and without scoliosis. In both groups, degenerative changes by MRI were rare and predominated at L4-L5 and L5-S1.
CONCLUSION:
In patients with early IBP suggesting axSpA, lumbar scoliosis was not associated with inflammatory or degenerative changes.

Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Evaluation of concomitant peripheral arthritis in patients with recent onset axial spondyloarthritis: 5-year results from the DESIR cohort.» a été publié dans le journal Arthritis Res Ther.
López-Medina C, Dougados M, Ruyssen-Witrand A, Moltó A.
BACKGROUND:
(a) To describe the prevalence and incidence of peripheral arthritis during 5 years of follow-up in recent axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA), (b) to evaluate factors associated with their appearance and (c) to assess their impact on treatment, patient-reported outcomes and sick leave after follow-up.
METHODS:
Data from the early axSpA patients from the DESIR cohort (first 5 years of follow-up) were analysed. Prevalence and incidence of peripheral arthritis at each study visit were calculated. A multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate baseline factors associated with the development of the arthritis. The use of drugs, the impact on patient-reported outcomes and days of sick leave were compared in both groups over time.
RESULTS:
Out of the 708 patients included in DESIR, 255 (36.0%) showed at least one episode of arthritis (151 before the inclusion visit and 104 during the follow-up), with an incidence of 3.7 cases per 100 person-years. Patients with peripheral arthritis were more likely (OR, 95%CI) to be aged ≥ 33 years (1.60, 1.12-2.27), non-smokers (1.58, 1.10-2.27) and HLAB27 negative (1.47, 1.04-2.08) and have presented with at least one episode of dactylitis (8.50, 4.96-14.60) and enthesitis (2.00, 1.41-2.84). Patients with peripheral arthritis showed a significant greater use of TNFb, csDMARDs and corticosteroids over follow-up; higher levels on BASDAI (40.46 vs. 34.28) and BASFI (27.89 vs. 22.52); poorer quality of life; and higher number of days of sick leave (17.97 vs. 12.78) over time.
CONCLUSION:
In recent axSpA, 36% of patients reported peripheral arthritis at any time of the disease, being associated with negative HLAB27, non-smokers and with other peripheral manifestations. Patients with arthritis showed a higher burden of disease.

Un nouvel article scientifique intitulé «Impact of gut involvement in patients with high probability of early spondyloarthritis. Data from DESIR cohort.» a été publié dans le journal J Rheumatol.
Wendling D, Guillot X, Prati C, Miceli-Richard C, Molto A, Lories R, Dougados M.
OBJECTIVE:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a well-known extra articular feature of spondyloarthritis (SpA).The aims of this study were to evaluate in DESIR cohort factors associated with IBD and incidence over 5 years follow-up.
METHODS:
DESIR is a prospective observational cohort of patients with recent onset inflammatory back pain suggestive of axial SpA. All available variables in the database were compared between patients with and without IBD at baseline and 5 years, and occurrence over 5 years of follow-up, with uni and then multivariable analysis.
RESULTS:
At baseline, 708 patients, 35 had IBD : prevalence 4.94% [CI 95% : 3.3 - 6.5]. IBD was associated (multivariable) with history of uveitis, levels of DKK-1 and TNF, but not with phenotypic presentation (peripheral arthritis, enthesitis, dactylitis, uveitis) or baseline serum levels of other cytokines. At 5 years, 480 patients were analyzed, 58 with IBD. IBD was associated (multivariable) with fulfillment of modified New York criteria, sick leave, BASDAI, and smoking. No association with MRI scores, enthesitis, psoriasis, BMD. 23 incident cases of IBD were recorded: estimated occurrence rate of 0.95/100 [0.57 - 1.35] patient-years. Incidence of IBD is associated (multivariable) with : HLA B27 : OR 0.36 [0.22 - 0.59], fulfillment of modified New York criteria: OR 3.35 [1.85 - 6.08], familial history of IBD : OR 3.31[1.62 - 6.77] .
CONCLUSION:
In early SpA, IBD occurs with an incidence of 1/100 patient-years, and is associated with poor outcome, familial history of IBD, absence of HLA-B27, fulfillment of modified New York criteria.
