          Abstract

          Resumen Objetivo: Realizar un análisis descriptivo de la actividad de la enfermedad medida por DAS28, de la funcionalidad medida por HAQ (Health Assessment Questionnaire) y escala de depresión, tras un año de seguimiento en un programa de gerenciamiento de la enfermedad «Evaluación día», para pacientes colombianos con artritis reumatoide que iniciaron tratamiento con etanercept (Enbrel®). Materiales y métodos: Se diseñó un programa como parte del manejo integral de la enfermedad que comprendía cuatro visitas e incluía paraclínicos, evaluación por reumatólogo, psicólogo, terapeuta físico y ocupacional, y clinimetría. Resultados: Se incluyeron 91 sujetos. Al ingreso del programa, 42 pacientes (80.7%) fueron clasificados con actividad moderada y grave. Al año, la remisión fue alcanzada en 25%. El número de pacientes que presentaron una reducción mayor de 1.2 en el DAS28, respecto al inicio del tratamiento, fue de 19 (37.5%). La medida promedio de HAQ al inicio fue 1,07 y mejoró al disminuir a 0,96 en el último control, aunque en 11 de los individuos (13,5%) no se realizó la medición. Al ingreso del programa, 33.3% de los pacientes, tenía algún grado de depresión mayor de acuerdo con la escala de Zung y al año de la observación sólo la presentaba el 21.9%. Conclusiones: La descripción de estos programas de gerenciamiento es importante para contar con data propia de los pacientes colombianos con artritis reumatoide y brindar el manejo integral que se requiere en las enfermedades crónicas. Los resultados obtenidos parecen corresponder a los descritos en otras observaciones.

          Abstract Objective: We conducted a descriptive analysis of rheumatoid arthritis activity according to DAS28, and functionality with HAQ (Health Assessment Questionnaire), and depression scales after one year of follow-up, in a disease management program «Evaluación día» for Colombian patients whom started treatment with etanercept. Methods: We designed a program as part of an integral disease management. It involved four visits, including: lab tests, questionnaires, and clinical evaluation by rheumatologist, psychologist, physical and occupational therapist. Results: 91 patients were included. At the beginning of the program, 80.7% of the individuals were classified in moderate and severe disease activity. At the end of follow-up, disease remission by DAS28 was reached in 25% of the patients. The number of patients who experienced DAS28 reduction more than 1.2 points was 19 (37.5%). HAQ average at baseline was 1.07 and improved to 0.96 at the end of the follow-up. At baseline, 33.3% of patients had a mayor depression according to Zung Score and, after one year, this score was present in 21.9% of the patients. Conclusions: The description of this disease management program is important for the understanding of rheumatoid arthritis in Colombia and it may offer an integral treatment, which is necessary in all chronic diseases. The results found in this analysis seem to be similar as described in other observations.

          The american rheumatism association 1987 revised criteria for the classification of rheumatoid arthritis

          The revised criteria for the classification of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) were formulated from a computerized analysis of 262 contemporary, consecutively studied patients with RA and 262 control subjects with rheumatic diseases other than RA (non-RA). The new criteria are as follows: 1) morning stiffness in and around joints lasting at least 1 hour before maximal improvement; 2) soft tissue swelling (arthritis) of 3 or more joint areas observed by a physician; 3) swelling (arthritis) of the proximal interphalangeal, metacarpophalangeal, or wrist joints; 4) symmetric swelling (arthritis); 5) rheumatoid nodules; 6) the presence of rheumatoid factor; and 7) radiographic erosions and/or periarticular osteopenia in hand and/or wrist joints. Criteria 1 through 4 must have been present for at least 6 weeks. Rheumatoid arthritis is defined by the presence of 4 or more criteria, and no further qualifications (classic, definite, or probable) or list of exclusions are required. In addition, a "classification tree" schema is presented which performs equally as well as the traditional (4 of 7) format. The new criteria demonstrated 91-94% sensitivity and 89% specificity for RA when compared with non-RA rheumatic disease control subjects.

              Epidemiology and genetics of rheumatoid arthritis

              Chapter summary The prevalence of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is relatively constant in many populations, at 0.5–1.0%. However, a high prevalence of RA has been reported in the Pima Indians (5.3%) and in the Chippewa Indians (6.8%). In contrast, low occurrences have been reported in populations from China and Japan. These data support a genetic role in disease risk. Studies have so far shown that the familial recurrence risk in RA is small compared with other autoimmune diseases. The main genetic risk factor of RA is the HLA DRB1 alleles, and this has consistently been shown in many populations throughout the world. The strongest susceptibility factor so far has been the HLA DRB1*0404 allele. Tumour necrosis factor alleles have also been linked with RA. However, it is estimated that these genes can explain only 50% of the genetic effect. A number of other non-MHC genes have thus been investigated and linked with RA (e.g. corticotrophin releasing hormone, oestrogen synthase, IFN-γ and other cytokines). Environmental factors have also been studied in relation to RA. Female sex hormones may play a protective role in RA; for example, the use of the oral contraceptive pill and pregnancy are both associated with a decreased risk. However, the postpartum period has been highlighted as a risk period for the development of RA. Furthermore, breastfeeding after a first pregnancy poses the greatest risk. Exposure to infection may act as a trigger for RA, and a number of agents have been implicated (e.g. Epstein–Barr virus, parvovirus and some bacteria such as Proteus and Mycoplasma). However, the epidemiological data so far are inconclusive. There has recently been renewed interest in the link between cigarette smoking and RA, and the data presented so far are consistent with and suggestive of an increased risk.
