Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) has evolved from a guideline by using the best approach to integrated care pathways using mobile technology in patients with allergic rhinitis (AR) and asthma multimorbidity. The proposed next phase of ARIA is change management, with the aim of providing an active and healthy life to patients with rhinitis and to those with asthma multimorbidity across the lifecycle irrespective of their sex or socioeconomic status to reduce health and social inequities incurred by the disease. ARIA has followed the 8-step model of Kotter to assess and implement the effect of rhinitis on asthma multimorbidity and to propose multimorbid guidelines. A second change management strategy is proposed by ARIA Phase 4 to increase self-medication and shared decision making in rhinitis and asthma multimorbidity. An innovation of ARIA has been the development and validation of information technology evidence-based tools (Mobile Airways Sentinel Network [MASK]) that can inform patient decisions on the basis of a self-care plan proposed by the health care professional.

- 2021
-
In: Allergy. European Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0105-4538 .- 1398-9995. ; 76:1, s. 168-190
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Digital anamorphosis is used to define a distorted image of health and care that may be viewed correctly using digital tools and strategies. MASK digital anamorphosis represents the process used by MASK to develop the digital transformation of health and care in rhinitis. It strengthens the ARIA change management strategy in the prevention and management of airway disease. The MASK strategy is based on validated digital tools. Using the MASK digital tool and the CARAT online enhanced clinical framework, solutions for practical steps of digital enhancement of care are proposed.

Next-generation ARIA care pathways for rhinitis and asthma : a model for multimorbid chronic diseases
- 2019
-
In: Clinical and Translational Allergy. - : BMC. - 2045-7022. ; 9
-
Research review (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: In all societies, the burden and cost of allergic and chronic respiratory diseases are increasing rapidly. Most economies are struggling to deliver modern health care effectively. There is a need to support the transformation of the health care system into integrated care with organizational health literacy.Main body: As an example for chronic disease care, MASK (Mobile Airways Sentinel NetworK), a new project of the ARIA (Allergic Rhinitis and its Impact on Asthma) initiative, and POLLAR (Impact of Air POLLution on Asthma and Rhinitis, EIT Health), in collaboration with professional and patient organizations in the field of allergy and airway diseases, are proposing real-life ICPs centred around the patient with rhinitis, and using mHealth to monitor environmental exposure. Three aspects of care pathways are being developed: (i) Patient participation, health literacy and self-care through technology-assisted "patient activation", (ii) Implementation of care pathways by pharmacists and (iii) Next-generation guidelines assessing the recommendations of GRADE guidelines in rhinitis and asthma using real-world evidence (RWE) obtained through mobile technology. The EU and global political agendas are of great importance in supporting the digital transformation of health and care, and MASK has been recognized by DG Sante as a Good Practice in the field of digitally-enabled, integrated, person-centred care.Conclusion: In 20 years, ARIA has considerably evolved from the first multimorbidity guideline in respiratory diseases to the digital transformation of health and care with a strong political involvement.

- 2017
-
In: Journal of Crohn's & Colitis. - : Oxford University Press. - 1873-9946 .- 1876-4479. ; 11:10, s. 1213-1222
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background and aims: Anaemia is an important complication of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of anaemia and the practice of anaemia screening during the first year following diagnosis in a European prospective population-based inception cohort.Methods: Newly diagnosed IBD patients were included and followed prospectively for one year in 29 European and 1 Australian centre. Clinical data including demographics, medical therapy, surgery and blood samples were collected. Anaemia was defined according to the World Health Organization.Results: A total of 1,871 patients (CD: 686, 88%; UC: 1,021, 87%; IBDU 164. 81%) were included in the study. The prevalence of anaemia was higher in CD than in UC patients and overall, 49% of CD and 39% of UC patients had at least one instance of anaemia during the first 12 months after diagnosis. UC patients with more extensive disease and those from Eastern European countries, and CD patients with penetrating disease or colonic disease location, had higher risks of anaemia. CD and UC patients in need of none or only mild anti-inflammatory treatment had a lower risk of anaemia. In a significant proportion of patients, anaemia was not assessed until several months after diagnosis, and in almost half of all cases of anaemia a thorough work-up was not performed.Conclusions: Overall, 42% of patients had at least one instance of anaemia during the first year following diagnosis. Most patients were assessed for anaemia regularly; however, a full anaemia work-up was frequently neglected in this community setting.

Pharmacogenetic polymorphisms in folate metabolism affect toxicity after high dose methotrexate in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia
- 2012
-
Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- We hypothesized that polymorphisms in folate metabolism would affect treatment effects of the folate antagonist methotrexate (MTX). We studied whether ATIC347C>T, MTHFR677C>T, MTHFR1298C>A and SHMT1-1420C>T polymorphisms influence risk of disease or efficacy and toxicity of MTX in a large population of children with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL). The children were treated after standardized Nordic protocols with 5-8 g/m2 high-dose MTX courses and long term oral maintenance therapy with weekly MTX. Ninety-four percent (n=533) of the children diagnosed during a 16 year time period were included. The study showed that the polymorphisms had no effect on risk of ALL, MTX pharmacokinetics or outcome. However after high-dose MTX treatment, patients with MTHFR677TT/MTHFR677CT had more liver toxicity than patients with MTHFR677CC (alanine transferase: 174/154 versus 115U/L, p=0.049). Patients with MTHFR1298AA had more liver toxicity than patients with MTHFR1298CC (alanine transferase: 144 versus 108 U/L, p=0.04). More bone marrow toxicity was found in patients with MTHFR1298CC compared to MTHFR1298CT / MTHFR1298AA (Nadir means: Platelets 72 versus 109/93*109/L, p=0.0001). In conclusion this study supports that MTHFR1298C>A and MTHFR677C>T are associated with toxicity in MTX treatment and the MTHFR variants should be considered as markers for individualization of treatment in childhood ALL in combination with other pharmacogenetic markers.

Polymorphisms in the ABCB1 gene affect outcome and toxicity in Childhood Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia
- 2012

Other publication (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The membrane transporter P-glycoprotein, encoded by the ABCB1 gene, influences pharmacokinetics in several anti-cancer drugs. We hypothesized that 1199G>A, 1236C>T, 2677G>A/T and 3435C>T variants of ABCB1 could affect outcome and toxicity in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), since treatment includes known P-glycoprotein substrates and 3435C/T may affect methotrexate therapy. We studied 522 Danish children with ALL treated according to NOPHO ALL92 and ALL2000 protocols, 93% of all those eligible during 1992-2007. Risk of relapse was 2.9-fold increased for 41 patients with the 1199GA variant compared to 477 with 1199GG (p=0.001), and reduced by 61% and 40%, respectively for 421 patients with the 3435CT or 3435TT variants compared to 96 with 3435CC (overall p=0.02). Degree of bone marrow toxicity during doxorubicin, vincristine and prednisolone induction therapy was higher in 71 patients with 3435TT variant (median nadirs: hemoglobin 3% and platelets 34/37% lower in3435CT/3435CC) compared to 160 patients with 3435CT/3435CC (Hemoglobin p=0.01 and platelets p<0.0001). We observed more liver toxicity after high-dose methotrexate in 109 patients with 3435CC variant versus 3435CT/TT (Median max alanineaminotransferase: 280 versus 142/111 U/L, p=0.03). In conclusion, there is a statistically significant association between ABCB1 polymorphisms and efficacy and toxicity in childhood ALL.

The association of reduced folate carrier 80G greater than A polymorphism to outcome in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia interacts with chromosome 21 copy number
- 2010
-
In: Blood. - : American Society of Hematology. - 0006-4971 .- 1528-0020. ; 115:23, s. 4671-4677

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The reduced folate carrier (RFC) is involved in the transport of methotrexate (MTX) across the cell membrane. The RFC gene (SLC19A1) is located on chromosome 21, and we hypothesized that the RFC80 G greater than A polymorphism would affect outcome and toxicity in childhood leukemia and that this could interact with chromosome 21 copy number in the leukemic clone. A total of 500 children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia treated according to the common Nordic treatment protocols were included, and we found that the RFC AA variant was associated with a 50% better chance of staying in remission compared with GG or GA variants (P = .046). Increased copy numbers of chromosome 21 appear to improve outcome also in children with GA or GG variant. In a subset of 182 children receiving 608 high-dose MTX courses, we observed higher degree of bone marrow toxicity in patients with the RFC AA variant compared with GA/GG variants (platelet 73 vs 99/105 x 10(9)/L, P = .004, hemoglobin 5.6 vs 5.9/6.0 mmol/L, P = .004) and a higher degree of liver toxicity in patients with RFC GG variant (alanine aminotransferase 167 vs 127/124 U/L, P = .05). In conclusion, the RFC 80G greater than A polymorphism interacts with chromosome 21 copy numbers and affects both efficacy and toxicity of MTX.

Circulating MicroRNA Expression Profiles Associated With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
- 2013
-
In: Arthritis and Rheumatism. - : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0004-3591 .- 1529-0131. ; 65:5, s. 1324-1334

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective To evaluate the specificity of expression patterns of cell-free circulating microRNAs (miRNAs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Total RNA was purified from plasma, and 45 different specific, mature miRNAs were determined using quantitative reverse transcriptionpolymerase chain reaction assays. A total of 409 plasma samples were obtained from 364 different patients with SLE, healthy control subjects, and control subjects with other autoimmune diseases. The results in the primary cohort of 62 patients with SLE and 29 healthy control subjects were validated in 2 independent cohorts: a validation cohort comprising 68 patients with SLE and 68 healthy control subjects, and a disease control cohort comprising 20 patients with SLE (19 of whom were from the other validation cohort), 46 healthy control subjects, 38 patients with vasculitis, 18 patients with rheumatoid arthritis, and 20 immunosuppressed patients. Results Seven miRNAs were statistically significantly differentially expressed in plasma from patients with SLE. The expression of miRNA-142-3p (miR-142-3p) and miR-181a was increased, and the expression of miR-106a, miR-17, miR-20a, miR-203, and miR-92a was decreased. In addition, the expression of miR-342-3p, miR-223, and miR-20a was significantly decreased in SLE patients with active nephritis. A predictive model for SLE based on 2 or 4 miRNAs differentiated patients with SLE from control subjects (76% accuracy) when validated independently (P andlt; 2 x 109). Use of the 4-miRNA model provided highly significant differentiation between the SLE group and disease controls, except for those with vasculitis. Conclusion Circulating miRNAs are systematically altered in SLE. A 4-miRNA signature was diagnostic of SLE, and a specific subset of miRNA profiles was associated with nephritis. All of the signature miRNAs target genes in the transforming growth factor signaling pathways. Other targets include regulation of apoptosis, cytokinecytokine receptors, T cell development, and cytoskeletal organization. These findings highlight possible dysregulated pathways in SLE and suggest that circulating miRNA patterns distinguish SLE from other immunoinflammatory phenotypes.
