- Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is associated with increased cardiovascular co-morbidity including acute coronary syndrome (ACS), partly due to effects of systemic inflammation. Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) may reduce RA disease activity, but act through several pathways and may themselves have an impact on cardiovascular risks. Whether the risks of ACS associated with biologic (b) and targeted synthetic (ts) DMARDs differ is still unknown.Objectives:To assess and compare incidences of ACS during treatment of RA with etanercept (ETA), adalimumab (ADA), infliximab (INF), certolizumab pegol (CTZ), golimumab (GOL), rituximab (RIT), abatacept (ABA), tocilizumab (TCZ), baricitinib (BAR) or tofacitinib (TOF).Methods:We defined and pooled treatment cohorts of patients starting any of the above treatments between 2008 and 2017 from clinical rheumatology registers in Denmark (DK), Finland (FI), Norway (NO), and Sweden (SE). One patient could contribute several treatment episodes. Age, sex, co-medication (methotrexate, prednisolone), number of previous b/tsDMARDs, CRP, comorbidities (cardiovascular (including ACS (defined as ICD-10: I20.0, I21.0-4, I21.9) and cerebrovascular disease, thromboembolic events, diabetes, hospitalized infection, cancer, kidney failure, COPD) and associated drugs were extracted and used as adjustment in Cox regression analyses comparing the incidence of ACS between treatments. We used several follow-up lengths (1, 2, and up to 5 years) and two different risk windows (ACS on drug [ending follow-up on treatment discontinuation] and ACS ever since treatment start [disregarding any treatment discontinuation]). We also stratified by age and number of previous b/tsDMARDs.Results:We included 40850 treatment courses in 24083 patients (DK 7271, FI 3732, NO 1540, and SE 11540; around 75% women). ETA was the most common treatment (27%) whereas BAR and TOF comprised <1%, and the other DMARDs 6-14% each. The proportions with a history of ACS at treatment start ranged from 1.2% (NO) to 1.8% (DK).We found 780 incident ACS events during 141 326 person-years (pyrs) in the 5-year follow-up time and “ACS ever since treatment start” risk window, resulting in a crude incidence rate of 5.5 events per 1000 pyrs. No event was recorded for BAR nor TOF, which also had the shortest follow-up. Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) increased slightly with longer follow-up times, but the two risk windows provided similar HRs. For the 5-year follow-up, RIT was associated with an increased risk of ACS compared to ETA (Table), while no association was observed for shorter follow-up times. Stratifying on age did not modify the associations. Separate analyses by number of previous b/tsDMARDs suggested that ABA (HR=1.8, 95% CI 1.0-3.3), INF (HR=2.2, 95% CI 1.0-4.6) and RIT (HR=1.9, 95% CI 1.1-3.4) were associated with increased risks of ACS compared to ETA in the subgroup of patients with two or more previous bDMARDs (Figure), whereas no differences were found among patients starting either drug as 1st/2nd bDMARD.Table 1.Comparisons of risks for ACS during a 5-year follow-up since start of bDMARD treatment.DrugN eventspyrsCrude incidence rate/ 1000 pyrsHR (95% CI)1ETA175359174.9ref.ADA115240934.81.0 (0.8-1.3)CTZ54141583.80.9 (0.6-1.2)GOL4090064.41.1 (0.8-1.5)INF106178036.01.2 (0.9-1.5)ABA70107956.51.1 (0.8-1.4)RIT158166229.51.3 (1.0-1.6)TCZ62128664.80.9 (0.5-1.2)BAR036TOF030Pyrs: person-years; HR: hazards ratio1 adjustment: see text.Conclusion:In this cohort including ≥ 24,000 patients followed for up to 5 years, the ACS incidence rate was 5.5/1000 pyrs, with RIT showing an increased risk compared to ETA. In clinical practice, the choice of bDMARD does not seem to influence ACS risk in the short term. In the longer term, differences in ACS risk between bDMARDs may reflect channeling to these, or truly differential effects in subpopulations of patients.Acknowledgements:Partly funded by Nordforsk and ForeumDisclosure of Interests:Bénédicte Delcoigne: None declared, Lotta Ljung: None declared, Sella Aa.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an established extra-articular manifestation of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Few studies have investigated the prevalence of ILD in patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA). Methotrexate (MTX) is frequently used in the treatment of both RA and PsA and has been suggested to be a risk factor for the development of ILD. It is of interest to understand the interaction between disease and treatment in the development of ILD.Objectives:To compare the incidence of ILD between patient with PsA and RA treated with biologic disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (bDMARDS), with or without MTX as a co-medication.Methods:Cohorts of patients with RA and PsA starting bDMARD were identified in Nordic registers (Danish nationwide clinical register for patients with RA (DANBIO), Register on antirheumatic and biological therapy in Finland (ROB-FIN), Icelandic nationwide database of biologic therapy (ICEBIO), Norwegian Antirheumatic Drug Register (NOR-DMARD), and the Swedish Rheumatology Quality Register (SRQ)). Linkages to the National Patient Registers and to the Cause of Death Registers were performed in each country to identify cases of ILD. Each individual patient could contribute several treatment courses. ILD was identified as hospital or death certificate ICD10 codes of ILD (J84.1, J84.8, J84.9, J70.2, J70.3, J70.4, J99.0, J99.1, J99.8) given during the follow-up period which was defined as the treatment course duration, plus a 30-day wash-out period added to the end of treatment course period. MTX co-medication was specified as use of MTX at the start of bDMARD. Incidence rates (IR) for any ILD were calculated per 1000 person years at risk (PYR) for each country. The five cohorts were pooled and incidence rate ratios (IRR) for PsA vs. RA were calculated. Hazard ratios (HR) for any ILD in PsA vs. RA were estimated in Cox regression models adjusted for age, gender and repeated observations, and stratified for the use of MTX co-medication.Results:Overall 47 987 individual patients representing 89 239 bDMARD treatment courses and contributing 201 279 PYR were included in the study (Table 1). Methotrexate was reported as comedication in 29 916 (33.5 %) of the treatment courses (PsA vs. RA, 30.4 % vs 34.5 %). 970 cases of ILD were identified during the follow-up period. The risk of ILD was consistently lower in patients with PsA compared to patients with RA in all countries. In models stratified for co-medication the HR for ILD in PsA vs. RA was 0.34 (0.21-0.57) in patients treated with MTX and 0.26 (0.18-0.36) in patients not treated with MTX.Table 1.Interstitial lung disease in PsA vs. RA in five Nordic biologic registersDENMARKFINLANDICELANDNORWAYSWEDENRAPsARAPsARAPsARAPsARAPsANumber of individuals78293386494610916754701590999205966393Number of treatment courses17 07266408634184512808592379142738 27910 824Age baseline (SD)57.3 (13.1)49.0 (12.6)53.8 (13.4)48.8 (11.4)53.9 (14.2)50.1 (13.3)53.8 (13.7)48.7 (12.0)57.1 (13.7)50.6 (12.8)Female n (%)12 963 (76)3929 (59)6571 (76)933 (51)969 (76)551 (65)1815 (77)818 (57)29 635 (77)6162 (57)Number of PYR4023513986217984910451727994556265312033427412ILD-events within PYR2182213287232668028IR pr 1000 PYR5.41.66.11.61.50.77.02.35.71.0IRR PsA vs RA crude0.29 (0.18-0.45)0.27 (0.11-0.55)0.46 (0.05-2.42)0.32(0.11-0.78)0.18 (0.12-0.26)HR PsA vs RA0.31 (0.17-0.56)0.46 (0.22-0.96)0.62 (0.12-3.14)0.19 (0.06-0.54)0.25 (0.17-0.37)PYR: Patient years at risk, IR: Incidence rates, IRR: Incidence rate ratios, HR: Hazard RatiosConclusion:In these preliminary analyses, the incidence of ILD is lower in bDMARD treated PsA vs. RA patients, irrespective of co-medication with MTX. This indicates that the clinician should consider the rheumatological diagnosis when assessing the risk for future ILD in patients treated with bDMARDs and MTX.Acknowledgements:Partly funded by NordForsk and FOREUMDisclosure of Interests:Sella Aarrestad Provan Consultant of: Novartis, Grant/research support from: Boehringer-Ingelheim, Brigitte Michelsen: None declared, Lotta Ljung: None declared, Thorarinn Jonmundsson: None declared, Björn Gudbjornsson Speakers bureau: Amgen and Novartis, Daniela Di Giuseppe: None declared, Merete Lund Hetland Speakers bureau: Orion Pharma, Biogen, Pfizer, CellTrion, Merck and Samsung Bioepis, Consultant of: Eli Lilly, Grant/research support from: BMS, MSD, AbbVie, Roche, Novartis, Biogen and Pfizer, Guðrún Björk Reynisdóttir: None declared, Bente Glintborg: None declared, Eirik kristianslund: None declared, Heikki Relas: None declared, Kalle Aaltonen: None declared, Dan Nordström Speakers bureau: Abbvie, BMS, Celgene, Eli Lilly, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche and UCB., Consultant of: Abbvie, BMS, Celgene, Eli Lilly, MSD, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche and UCB., Tore K.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Försäkringskassans rapport (DN Debatt 27/11 2015) visar att sjukfrånvaron fortsätter att öka och lovar att kraftsamla i sjukförsäkringshandläggningen. Men, precis som Försäkringskassan skriver, kommer det inte att räcka för att nå regeringens mål. Regeringens åtgärdsprograms program i sju punkter för att minska sjukfrånvaron saknar en viktig komponent. Det måste kompletteras med fysisk aktivitet som ett åttonde område för att trenden ska kunna brytas, skriver 13 debattörer.

- Haemophilia is a rare and potentially life-threatening disease. In Sweden, with a population of approximately 8.5 million, about 350 people suffer from the more severe forms of haemophilia or von Willebrand disease. Meticulous management is important if the patients are to be spared chronic disability and serious treatment complications. The disease is lifelong and affects psychosocial aspects of life among patients and their families. With the help of a grant from the Swedish Board of Halth and Welfare, a care programme has been designed to guarantee Swedish haemophiliacs comparable and optimal care. The programme has been drawn up by representatives of the three haemophilia centres in Sweden (at University Hospital, Malmo, Sahlgrenska University Hospital, Gothenburg, and Karolinska Hospital, Stockholm) in co-operation with the World Federation of National Haemophilia Organisations. To ensure optimal individual application of the programme, individualised management strategies and patient information leaflets have been prepared.

The Malmo polymorphism of coagulation factor IX, an immunologic polymorphism due to dimorphism of residue 148 that is in linkage disequilibrium with two other F.IX polymorphisms

- A mouse monoclonal antibody (MAB 9,9) to coagulation factor IX (F.IX) detects a polymorphism in the plasma of normal people. Its epitope has been narrowed down to <6 amino acids in the activation peptide of the X-linked F.IX protein. The activation peptide contains a dimorphism - Thr:Ala - at position 148 of the protein. Using synthetic oligonucleotides, we have demonstrated that (1) the F.IX which reacts with 9.9 has Thr at position 148 and (2) that which does not has Ala. Positive reactors (148(thr)) are designated Malmo A, and negative reactors (148(ala)) are designated Malmo B. The plasma levels of AA women are indistinguishable from those of A men, and both B men and BB women are null against MAB 9.9. The plasma level of Malmo A in AB women is approximately half that of AA women, and 'lyonization' is clearly operating in the heterozygotes. The dimorphism is in strong linkage disequilibrium with two other intragenic RFLPs, TaqI and XmnI. Furthermore, intragenic crossing-over - including double crossing-over - appears to have occurred between the three sites. Seven of the eight possible haplotypes have been identified, five in men and two others in women. The immunoassay that identifies ~50% of the AB women in the pool of Malmo A females with 95% confidence identifies men unambiguously as A or B. The assay would be very useful for population-genetic studies of the Malmo epitope if the studies were limited to men.
