Abstract

AIM: Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are used in the treatment of most rheumatological diseases. There is a number of studies available in the literature, in which the effect of DMARDs on mortality has been investigated; however these studies were generally performed on rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and on tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) in particular. Hence, we aimed to conduct a more comprehensive study investigating the effects of using abatacept, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, golimumab, infliximab, rituximab, secukinumab, tofacitinib and tocilizumab on mortality in patients with RA, ankylosing spondylitis (AS), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), Behçet's disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), Takayasu's arteritis, systemic sclerosis (SSc), Sjogren's syndrome and other rheumatological diseases. MATERIAL AND METHOD: Eight hundred forty seven patients that have used bDMARDs were included in our study. Age, gender, diagnosis and treatment information of these patients were retrospectively scanned and recorded. Death records were obtained from the National Death Notification Service, whereas the population records were obtained from the Turkish Statistical Institute. bDMARD- related incidence rates (IRs) for mortality was calculated. RESULTS: A total of 847 patients, 464 (54.8%) of whom were female and 383 (45.2%) of whom were male, were included in the study. Mortality occurred in a total of 18 patients (2.1%) during the treatment process. Of these 18 patients, 5 patients were using rituximab, 4 patients were using infliximab, 3 patients were using adalimumab, 3 patients were using etanercept, 2 patients were using tocilizumab, and 1 patient was using golimumab. In terms of the mortalities by the type of diagnosis, 13 mortalities occurred in the group of patients diagnosed with RA, whereas 1 mortality occurred in each of the groups consisting of patients diagnosed with AS, PsA, Takayasu arteritis, granulomatosis with polyangiitis (Wegener's) or SSc. The overall mortality incidence of the patients was calculatedas5.28casesper1000years.Comparedtothegeneralpopulation, the standardized mortality ratio (SMR) of the patients using bDMARDs was found to be 3.147 ((confidence interval (CI): 1.924-4.877)). CONCLUSION: Our study is the first mortality study conducted in Turkey on patients with rheumatologic disease that use bDMARDs. The incidence rate (IR) for mortality we have found in patients using bDMARDs was comparable to the IRs reported in the literature, however we have found a higher standart mortality ratio (SMR) in our cohort compared to the Turkish population. In this respect, it is necessary to conduct larger-scale controlled studies.

Özet

AMAÇ: Romatolojik hastalıkların çoğunun tedavisinde hastalık modifiye edici antiromatizmal ilaç (DMARD) kullanılmaktadır. Literatürde yapılan çalışmalarda DMARD’ların mortalite üzerine etkisi araştırılmış fakat bu çalışmalar genellikle romatoid artritte (RA) ve genellikle tümör nekroz faktör inhibitörlerinin (TNFi) üzerinde yapılmıştır. Biz ise daha kapsamlı olarak RA, ankilozan spondilit (AS), psöriatik artrit (PsA), Behçet hastalığı, sistemik lupus eritematozus (SLE), Takayasu arteriti, sistemik skleroz (SSc), Sjögren sendromu ve diğer romatolojik hastalıklarda abatacept, adalimumab, certolizumab pegol, etanercept, golimumab, infliksimab, rituksimab, secukinumab, tofacitinib ve tocilizumab kullanımının mortalite üzerine etkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. GEREÇ VE YÖNTEM: Çalışmamıza bDMARD kullanan 847 hasta alındı. Hastaların yaş, cinsiyet, tanı, tedavi verileri retrospektif olarak taranıp kayıt edildi. Ölüm kayıtları Ulusal Ölüm Bildirim Sistemi’nden nüfus kayıtları Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu’ndan alındı. bDMARD ilişkili mortalite insidans oranları hesaplandı. BULGULAR: Çalışmaya 464 (54,8%) kadın, 383 (45,2%) erkek olmak üzere toplam 847 hasta alındı. Tedavi sürecinde rituksimab, infliksimab, adalimumab, etanercept, golimumab ve tocilizumab kullanan hastalarda (sırasıyla; 5, 4, 3, 3, 1, 2) olmak üzere toplam 18 hastada (%2,1) mortalite gerçekleşti. Tanıya göre bakıldığında RA, AS, PsA, Takayasu arteriti, granülomatozisli polianjitis (Wegener granülomatozis), SSc tanılı hastalarda mortalite gerçekleşti (sırasıyla; 13, 1, 1, 1, 1, 1). Hastaların genel mortalite insidansı 1000 hasta yılında 5,28 vaka olarak tespit edildi. Genel nüfusa oranla bDMARD kullanan hastaların standart ölüm oranı (SMR) 3,147 (CI: 1,924-4,877) olarak saptandı. SONUÇ: Çalışmamız Türkiye’deki bDMARD kullanıp romatolojik hastalığı olan hastalarda yapılan ilk mortalite çalışmasıdır. Çalışmamızda genel olarak bDMARD kullanan hastalarda literatüre benzer bir mortalite insidans oranı tespit ettik; fakat kohortumuzda Türk toplumuna göre yüksek bir SMR saptadık. Bu açıdan daha geniş ölçekli, kontrol gruplu çalışmaların yapılmasına ihtiyaç vardır.
