| Abstract |
Unfavorable prognostic factors-high disease activity, early erosions, and autoantibodies-should be considered when making treatment decisions in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). There are little data on the frequency of individual poor prognostic factors among RA patients in daily care. Disease activity (Disease Activity Score, DAS28), erosions, antibodies against citrullinated peptides or rheumatoid factor (ACPA/RF+), previous treatment failure, inflammation markers, and functional disability (FFbH < 70) were defined as prognostic factors. Different treatment decision making situations were evaluated in disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD)-naïve patients from the early RA CAPEA cohort (n = 1059), and in patients from the biologics register RABBIT after failure of one (n = 2217) or more (n = 3280) conventional synthetic (cs)DMARDs or one (n = 1134) or more (n = 795) biologic (b)DMARDs. With the national database of German arthritis centers (NDB), the frequency of these factors was analyzed according to treatment strata (no/1(st)/2(nd)/3(rd) DMARD; n = 5707). In DMARD-naïve patients (CAPEA), 50% presented with DAS28 > 5.1, 64% were ACPA/RF+, 13% had erosions, and 37% functional disability (FFbH < 70). In RABBIT, 63 (1(st) csDMARD failure) to 81% (≥2 bDMARD failures) were ACPA/RF+, 29 to 70% had erosions, 33 to 52% DAS28 > 5.1, and 41 to 66% had FFbH < 70, respectively. In the NDB, between 47 (DMARD-naïve) and 82% (≥2 previous DMARDs) were ACPA/RF+, 5 to 11%, had high disease activity under treatment (DAS28 > 5.1), and 26 to 50% had functional disability (FFbH < 70), respectively. With growing numbers of previous DMARD therapies, increasing proportions of patients have poor prognostic factors. This underlines the importance of these factors for a difficult-to-treat disease course. |
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 April 2017.
All research outputs
#20,418,183
of 22,968,808 outputs
Outputs from Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie
#363
of 448 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#269,912
of 310,226 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Zeitschrift für Rheumatologie
#8
of 12 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,968,808 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 448 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.1. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 310,226 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 12 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
