OBJECTIVES: Real-world evidence is needed to inform treatment strategies for patients with PsA and axial SpA (axSpA) who have non-musculoskeletal manifestations (NMMs), various risk factors and comorbidities. International collaboration is required to ensure statistical power and to enhance generalizability. The first step forward is identifying which data are currently being collected. Across 17 registries participating in the European Spondyloarthritis Research Collaboration (EuroSpA), we aimed to map recording practices for NMMs, comorbidities and safety outcomes in patients with PsA and axSpA. METHODS: Through a survey with 4,420 questionnaire items, we explored the recording practices of 58 pre-defined conditions (i.e. NMMs, comorbidities and safety outcomes) covering 10 disease areas. In all registries we mapped for each condition whether it was recorded, the recording procedure and the potential to identify it through linkage to other national registries. RESULTS: Conditions were generally recorded at entry into the registry and clinical follow-up visits using a pre-specified list or a coding system. Most registries recorded conditions within the following disease areas: NMMs (number of registries, n = 15-16), cardiovascular diseases (n = 10-14), gastrointestinal diseases (n = 12-13), infections (n = 10-13) and death (n = 14). Nordic countries had the potential for data linkage and generally had limited recording of conditions in their registry, while other countries had comprehensive recording practices. CONCLUSION: A wide range of conditions were consistently recorded across the registries. The recording practices of many conditions and disease areas were comparable across the registries. Our findings support the potential for future collaborative research.

OBJECTIVES: To re-evaluate cut-offs for disease activity states according to the Axial Spondyloarthritis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS), and study the impact of sex, age, calendar time, disease and symptom duration on ASDAS and ASDAS cut-offs in a large contemporary cohort. METHODS: Data from 2939 patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) starting their first tumour necrosis factor inhibitor in nine European registries were pooled and analysed. Receiver operating characteristic analyses were performed to identify cut-offs against external criteria. Six-month data including patient and physician global assessments, both ≤1 (0-10 integer scale), and Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society partial remission were used for separation of inactive disease (ID) from low disease activity (LDA), while patient and physician global ≤3 were applied as external criteria to separate LDA from high disease activity (HDA). Patient and physician global ≥6 were applied to separate HDA from very high disease activity in baseline data. RESULTS: The three ASDAS cut-offs identified to separate the four disease activity states in the overall patient population were <1.3, <2.0 and >3.5. Cut-offs for ID and LDA in women were higher (<1.5 and <2.0, respectively) than in men (<1.3 and <1.9), as were cut-offs in patients ≥45 years (<1.5 and <2.2) versus ≤34 years (<1.2 and <1.9) and 35-44 years (<1.3 and <1.8). Cut-offs were independent of calendar time and disease duration. CONCLUSIONS: Re-evaluation of ASDAS cut-offs for disease activity states in a large multi-national axSpA cohort resulted in cut-offs similar to those currently endorsed. Differences in cut-offs between sex and age groups for ID and LDA were observed, but the differences were minor.

Axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. Early detection of axSpA is crucial to slow disease progression and maintain remission or low disease activity. However, current biomarkers are insufficient for diagnosing axSpA or distinguishing between its radiographic (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic (nr-axSpA) subsets. To address this, we conducted a study using miRNA profiling with massive parallel sequencing (MPS) and SmartChip qRT-PCR validation. The goal was to identify differentially expressed miRNAs in axSpA patients, specifically those subdiagnosed with nr-axSpA or r-axSpA. Disease activity was measured using C-reactive protein (CRP) and the Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS). Radiographic assessments of the cervical and lumbar spine were performed at baseline and after two years. Out of the initial 432 miRNAs, 90 met the selection criteria, and 45 were validated out of which miR-1-3p was upregulated, whereas miR-1248 and miR-1246 were downregulated in axSpA patients. The expression of miR-1-3p correlated with interleukin (IL)-17 and tumour necrosis factor (TNF) levels, indicating its significant role in axSpA pathogenesis. Although specific miRNAs distinguishing disease subtypes or correlating with disease activity or spinal changes were not found, the study identified three dysregulated miRNAs in axSpA patients, with miR-1-3p linked to IL-17 and TNF, underscoring its pathogenetic significance. These findings could help improve the early detection and treatment of axSpA.

OBJECTIVE: Because 66/68 joint counts are not always performed in routine care, we aimed to determine which of the modified 28-joint disease activity index for psoriatic arthritis (DAPSA28) or 28-joint disease activity score with C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) should be preferred for monitoring disease activity in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) when the original DAPSA (66/68 joints) is not available. METHODS: Prospectively collected real-world data of European bionaive patients with PsA initiating a first tumor necrosis factor inhibitor were pooled. Remission and response status were evaluated at 6 months by remission (DAPSA ≤ 4, DAPSA28 ≤ 4, and DAS28-CRP < 2.6), response (75% improvement for DAPSA and DAPSA28), and combined EULAR good/moderate responses for DAS28-CRP. Logistic regression analyses on multiple imputed data were used to identify baseline predictors. RESULTS: Remission and response cohorts included 3,159 and 1,866 patients, respectively. The 6-month proportions achieving remission/response were DAPSA (27%/44%), DAPSA28 (28%/44%), and DAS28-CRP (59%/80%). Of 14 possible baseline predictors, 11 predicted both DAPSA and DAPSA28 remission (8 of which also predicted their response, indicated by "*"): longer disease duration*, male sex*, and higher CRP* were positive, whereas older age*, higher body mass index*, patient fatigue*, and global, physician global, health assessment questionnaire score*, and tender and swollen* joint counts were negative predictors. Eight and five of these predicted DAS28-CRP remission and response, respectively. CONCLUSION: In patients with PsA, DAPSA28 should be preferred over DAS28-CRP as a substitute for DAPSA when 66/68 joint counts are not available because of the large overlap in remission and response status and in predictors between DAPSA and DAPSA28.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the treatment effectiveness of secukinumab in radiographic (r) versus non-radiographic (nr) axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients treated in routine care across Europe. METHODS: Prospectively collected data on secukinumab-treated axSpA patients with known radiographic status were pooled from nine countries.Remission rates based on patient-reported outcomes (PROs; Numeric Rating Scale (0-10), for example, pain ≤2/Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI) ≤2 and Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score (ASDAS) inactive disease (ID) <1.3 after 6/12/24 months of secukinumab treatment were calculated.Remission and drug retention rates in r-axSpA versus nr-axSpA patients were compared by logistic and Cox regression models (unadjusted/adjusted for age+sex/adjusted for multiple confounders). RESULTS: Overall, 1161 secukinumab-treated patients were included (r-axSpA/nr-axSpA: 922/239). At baseline, r-axSpA patients had longer disease duration and higher C reactive protein, were more often male and HLA-B27 positive and had received fewer prior biological or targeted synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs compared with nr-axSpA patients, whereas PROs were largely similar.During follow-up, crude PRO remission rates were significantly higher in r-axSpA compared with nr-axSpA patients (6 months: pain≤2: 40%/28%, OR=1.7; BASDAI≤2: 37%/25%, OR=1.8), as were drug retention rates (24 months: 66%/58%, HR 0.73 (ref: r-axSpA)). Proportions of patients achieving ASDAS ID were low for both groups, particularly nr-axSpA (6 months: 11%/8%).However, when adjusting for age+sex, these differences diminished, and after adjusting for multiple confounders, no significant between-group differences remained for either remission or drug retention rates. CONCLUSION: Crude remission/drug retention rates in European secukinumab-treated patients were higher in r-axSpA compared with nr-axSpA patients. In adjusted analyses, secukinumab effectiveness was similar in both groups, suggesting that observed differences were related to factors other than radiographic status.

INTRODUCTION: Hip and knee osteoarthritis (OA) are increasingly common with a significant impact on individuals and society. Non-pharmacological treatments are considered essential to reduce pain and improve function and quality of life. EULAR recommendations for the non-pharmacological core management of hip and knee OA were published in 2013. Given the large number of subsequent studies, an update is needed. METHODS: The Standardised Operating Procedures for EULAR recommendations were followed. A multidisciplinary Task Force with 25 members representing 14 European countries was established. The Task Force agreed on an updated search strategy of 11 research questions. The systematic literature review encompassed dates from 1 January 2012 to 27 May 2022. Retrieved evidence was discussed, updated recommendations were formulated, and research and educational agendas were developed. RESULTS: The revised recommendations include two overarching principles and eight evidence-based recommendations including (1) an individualised, multicomponent management plan; (2) information, education and self-management; (3) exercise with adequate tailoring of dosage and progression; (4) mode of exercise delivery; (5) maintenance of healthy weight and weight loss; (6) footwear, walking aids and assistive devices; (7) work-related advice and (8) behaviour change techniques to improve lifestyle. The mean level of agreement on the recommendations ranged between 9.2 and 9.8 (0-10 scale, 10=total agreement). The research agenda highlighted areas related to these interventions including adherence, uptake and impact on work. CONCLUSIONS: The 2023 updated recommendations were formulated based on research evidence and expert opinion to guide the optimal management of hip and knee OA.
