Abstract

Objectives: This prospective clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of long-term of anti-tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-a) therapy on arterial stiffness in ankylosing spondylitis. Patients and methods: A total of 28 active ankylosing spondylitis patients (21 males, 7 females; mean age 33.5±9.5 years; range 20 to 52 years) were enrolled. Patients’ values for before the initiation of biological therapy and mid-term (24 weeks) evaluation were reported. For further evaluation, this initially reported patients were contacted two years after anti-TNF-α therapy, and their arterial stiffness was assessed by using pulse wave velocity. Results: After two years of anti-TNF-α therapy, despite the significant improvements in patients’ symptoms and clinical activity parameters including Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index score (4.9±0.9, 1.9±0.5 and 1.8±0.9, p=0.0001), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (35.5±23.1 mm/h, 13.8±9.2 mm/h and 25.0±17.9 mm/h, p=0.0001), and C-reactive protein (2.1±1.6 ng/dL, 0.4±0.3 ng/dL and 0.6±0.9 ng/dL p=0.0001), no significant difference was observed in arterial stiffness parameters (7.9±1.3 meter/second, 7.7±1.3 meter/second and 8.3±1.1 meter/second, p=0.620). Conclusion: In line with the previous 24-week evaluation, the results at two-year follow-up indicates that anti-TNF-α therapy does not improve arterial stiffness in patients with ankylosing spondylitis.

Özet

Amaç: Bu prospektif klinik çalışma ankilozan spondilit'de damar sertliği üzerine anti-tümör nekroz faktör-alfa (TNF-α) tedavisinin uzun dönemde etkinliğini değerlendirmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Hastalar ve yöntemler: Toplam 28 aktif ankilozan spondilit hastası (21 erkek, 7 kadın; ort. yaş 33.5±9.5 yıl; dağılım 20-52 yıl) çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların biyolojik tedavi başlangıcından önceki değerleri ve orta dönem (24. hafta) değerlendirilmesi rapor edildi. İleri değerlendirme için başlangıç raporları bulunan hastalarla anti-TNF-α tedavisinden sonraki ikinci yılda iletişime geçildi ve arteriyel sertlikleri nabız dalga hızı ile değerlendirildi. Bulgular: Anti-tümör nekroz faktör-alfa tedavisinden iki yıl sonra, hastaların semptomlarında ve klinik aktivite parametrelerini değerlendiren Bath Ankilozan Spondilit Hastalık Aktivite İndeksi skoru (4.9±0.9, 1.9±0.5 ve 1.8±0.9, p=0.0001), eritrosit sedimentasyon hızı (35.5±23.1 mm/h, 13.8±9.2 mm/h ve 25.0±17.9 mm/h, p=0.0001) ve C-reaktif proteinde (2.1±1.6 ng/dl, 0.4±0.3 ng/dl ve 0.6±0.9 ng/dl p=0.0001) anlamlı düzelmeler olmasına rağmen, arteriyel sertlik parametrelerinde (7.9±1.3 metre/saniye, 7.7±1.3 metre/saniye ve 8.3±1.1 metre/saniye, p=0.620) anlamlı değişiklik gözlemlenmedi. Sonuç: Önceki 24 haftalık değerlendirmeyle uyumlu olarak, ikinci yıldaki takip sonuçları anti-TNF-α tedavisinin ankilozan spondilitli hastalarda arteriyel sertliği düzeltmediğini gösterdi.
