Öğe Can Patient-Reported Outcomes and Disease Activity Scores Predict Patient Acceptable Symptom State in Adult-Onset Still's Disease?(Wiley, 2019) Bilgin, Emre; Kasifoglu, Timucin; Omma, Ahmet; Bes, Cemal; Cinar, Muhammet; Emmungil, Hakan; Kucuksahin, Orhan[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Corticosteroid Utilization before and after Initiation of Biologic Dmards between Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis(Wiley, 2018) Yagiz, Burcu; Coskun, Belkis Nihan; Kiraz, Sedat; Ertenli, Ihsan; Kucuksahin, Orhan; Dalkilic, Ediz; Bes, Cemal[Abstract Not Available]Öğe DERIVATION AND VALIDATION OF A NEW STILL ACTIVITY SCORE (SAS)(Bmj Publishing Group, 2019) Kalyoncu, Umut; Kasifoglu, Timucin; Omma, Ahmet; Bes, Cemal; Cinar, Muhammet; Emmungil, Hakan; Kucuksahin, Orhan[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Derivation and validation of adult Still Activity Score (SAS)(Elsevier France-Editions Scientifiques Medicales Elsevier, 2023) Kalyoncu, Umut; Kasifoglu, Timucin; Omma, Ahmet; Bes, Cemal; Cinar, Muhammet; Emmungil, Hakan; Kucuksahin, OrhanObjectives: Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a multi-systemic, autoinflammatory disorder. Several activity scores have been proposed but none of them have been adopted universally. Our aim was to create a clinician-friendly activity scoring system by using simple clinical and laboratory parameters.Methods: AODS patients, according to Yamaguchi criteria, were included in this cross-sectional, multi-center study. Derivation and validation cohorts were constituted. Demographic, clinical, and laboratory evaluation at the study visit; patients' and physicians' global assessments of disease activity (both VAS/Likert scale) were recorded. To develop the score, an ordinal logistic regression model was used to determine independent predictors of physicians' global assessments of disease activity. Clinically and statistically significant variables were weighted according to regression coefficients. Then, performance of the score was tested on the validation cohort. Results: A total of 197 consecutive AOSD patients (125 in derivation, 72 in validation cohorts) were included. Final Still Activity Score was fever (2 points), arthralgia (2 points, plus 1 point if arthritis was present in >= 2 joints), neutrophilia >= 65% (1 point) and ferritin >= 350 ng/mL (1 point) (maximum of 7 points). The SAS yielded an AUC value of 0.98 (0.96-1.00) in the derivation cohort and 0.91 (95%CI: 0.85-0.98) in the validation cohort to discriminate high AOSD activity from moderate-inactive AOSD. The correlation of SAS with PGA was 83% for the derivation cohort and 76% for the validation cohort. Conclusions: SAS has shown a good test performance to distinguish active AOSD patients from others. SAS may be a useful method for evaluating the disease activity of AOSD patients in daily practice.(c) 2022 Socie acute accent te acute accent franc , aise de rhumatologie.

Rheumatic patients cannot still reach to hospitals, or they hesitate about going to a hospital even they are able to reach. We aimed to show the effect of the first wave of coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic on the treatment of biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis or spondyloarthritis. Methods: Patients were divided into three groups as follows: pre-pandemic (Pre-p: starting on biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy for the first time within 6 months before March 11, 2020); post-pandemic A (Post-p A: starting on biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy for the first time within the first 6 months after March 11, 2020); post-pandemic B (Post-p B: starting on biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug therapy for the first time within the second 6 months). Results: The number of rheumatoid arthritis patients in the Post-p A and B groups decreased by 51% and 48%, respectively, as compared to the Pre-p group similar rates of reduction were also determined in the number of spondyloarthritis patients. The rates of tofacitinib and abatacept use increased in rheumatoid arthritis patients in Post-p period. Conclusion: The number of rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis patients starting on biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs for the first time decreased during the first year of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic.Öğe Joint and nail involvement in Turkish patients with psoriatic arthritis(Springer Heidelberg, 2008) Soy, Mehmet; Karaca, Nuran; Umit, Elif Ufur; Bes, Cemal; Piskin, SueleymanPsoriatic arthritis is an autoimmune, chronic, systemic inflammatory disorder characterized by the association of arthritis with psoriasis. In this paper, we explore the characteristics of joint and nail involvement in Turkish patients with psoriatic arthritis. Forty patients with psoriasis (M/F, 18/22) and 49 (M/F, 25/24) subjects with psoriatic arthritis were included in the study. Clinical characteristics of the patients were recorded. The distribution of the subjects with arthritis: (according to the clinical and radiological findings): polyarticular, 65%; oligoarticular, 23%; isolated axial involvement, 7.7%; arthritis mutilans, 3.8%; sacroiliitis, 19%. Nail involvement was significantly higher among patients with arthritis; i.e., 91 versus 32%; (P < 0.05). There were no correlation between the skin involvement pattern and the arthritis type (P > 0.05). Nevertheless, no relation was observed between the psoriasis duration and arthritis (P > 0.05). Nail involvement is a frequent feature of the psoriatic arthritis which may be a useful finding for differential diagnosis of psoriatic arthritis from other inflammatory arthropathies.Öğe Leflunomide As a Concomitant DMARD Choice for the Biological Treatment Era of Rheumatoid Arthritis(Wiley, 2018) Kimyon, Gezmis; Kiraz, Sedat; Ertenli, Ihsan; Kucuksahin, Orhan; Dalkilic, Ediz; Bes, Cemal; Kanitez, Nilufer Alpay[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Methodology of a new inflammatory arthritis registry: TReasure(Tubitak Scientific & Technological Research Council Turkey, 2018) Kalyoncu, Umut; Tascilar, Etem Koray; Ertenli, Ali Ihsan; Dalkilic, Huseyin Ediz; Bes, Cemal; Kucuksahin, Orhan; Kasifoglu, TimucinBackground/aim: The TReasure registry, created in 2017, is an observational multicenter cohort that includes inflammatory arthritis patients. This article reviews the methodology and objectives of the TReasure registry established to collect data from rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients. Methodology: Fifteen rheumatology centers in Turkey will contribute data to the TReasure database. The actual proprietor of the database is the Hacettepe Rheumatology Association (HRD) and Hacettepe Financial Enterprises. Pharmaceutical companies that operate in Turkey (in alphabetical or er), Abbvie, Amgen, BMS, Celltrion Healthcare, Novartis, Pfizer, Roche, and UCB, support the TReasure registry. TReasure is a web-based database to which users connect through a URL (https://www.trials-network.org/treasure) with their unique identifier and passwords provided for data entry and access. TReasure records demographic and clinical features, comorbidities, radiology and laboratory results, measures of disease activity, and treatment data. Discussion: TReasure will provide us with various types of data, such as a cross-sectional view of the current nationwide status of the patients currently receiving these treatments, and retrospective data as much as allowed by the participating centers' records. Finally, a high-quality prospective dataset will be built over the ensuing years from patients with a new diagnosis of RA or SpA.Öğe Tuberculin skin test before biologic and targeted therapies: does the same rule apply for all?(Springer Heidelberg, 2022) Ilgen, Ufuk; Karadag, Omer; Emmungil, Hakan; Kucuksahin, Orhan; Koca, Suleyman Serdar; Erden, Abdulsamet; Bes, CemalThis study aimed to compare Tuberculin Skin Test (TST) and QuantiFERON (R)-TB Gold In-Tube (QFT-GIT) test in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and spondyloarthritis (SpA) patients scheduled for biological and targeted synthetic disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in a Bacillus Calmette-Guerin-vaccinated population. Adult RA (n = 206) and SpA (n = 392) patients from the TReasure database who had both TST and QFT-GIT prior to initiation of biological and targeted synthetic DMARDs were included in the study. Demographic and disease characteristics along with pre-biologic DMARD and steroid use were recorded. The distribution of TST and performance with respect to QFT-GIT were compared between RA and SpA groups. Pre-biologic conventional DMARD and steroid use was higher in the RA group. TST positivity rates were 44.2% in RA and 69.1% in SpA for a 5 mm cutoff (p < 0.001). Only 8.9% and 15% of the patients with RA and SpA, respectively, tested positive by QFT-GIT. The two tests poorly agreed in both groups at a TST cutoff of 5 mm and increasing the TST cutoff only slightly increased the agreement. Among age, sex, education and smoking status, pre-biologic steroid and conventional DMARD use, disease group, and QFT-GIT positivity, which were associated with a 5 mm or higher TST, only disease group (SpA) and QFT-GIT positivity remained significant in multiple logistic regression. TST positivity was more pronounced in SpA compared to that in RA and this was not explainable by pre-biologic DMARD and steroid use. The agreement of TST with QFT-GIT was poor in both groups. Using a 5 mm TST cutoff for both diseases could result in overestimating LTBI in SpA.Öğe UVEITIS RELATED FACTORS IN PATIENTS WITH SPONDYLOARTHRITIS(Bmj Publishing Group, 2019) Bilge, Nazife Sule Yasar; Kasifoglu, Timucin; Kiraz, Sedat; Ertenli, Ali Ihsan; Kucuksahin, Orhan; Dalkilic, Ediz; Bes, Cemal[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Uveitis-related Factors in Patients With Spondyloarthritis: TReasure Real-Life Results(Elsevier Science Inc, 2021) Bilge, Nazife Sule Yasar; Kalyoncu, Umut; Atagunduz, Pamir; Dalkilic, Ediz; Pehlivan, Yavuz; Kucuksahin, Orhan; Bes, CemalPURPOSE: Spondyloarthritis (SpA) is a group of diseases with overlapping skeletal and extra-articular features. Acute anterior uveitis (AAU) is the most common extra-articular manifestation of SpA. The relation between AAU and SpA is well defined in the current literature. Our study aims to analyze the frequency and factors associated with AAU in different forms of SpA in a large nationwide cohort of Turkish SpA patients. DESIGN: Retrospective cohort study. METHODS: The data were obtained from the TReasure database, which compiles data from records of the web-based Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and SpA patients treated with biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatismal drugs from different regions of Turkey. The clinical characteristics of SpA and uveitis are recorded. RESULTS: Data of the 4,297 SpA patients were included in the study. Overall, 475 of 4,297 patients (11.0%) had experienced 1 or more episodes of uveitis. SpA patients with older age (P<.001), a smoking history (P=.004), delayed diagnosis (P=.001), longer disease duration (P<.001), arthritis (P<.001), positive HLA-B27 (P<.001), a family history of SpA (P<.001), and radiographic damage (presence of sacroiliitis, syndesmophytes, bamboo spine, hip involvement) (P<.001 for all) more commonly had uveitis. On the other hand, uveitis was less prevalent in patients with psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis (P<.001 for both). CONCLUSION: Uveitis may be the key feature leading to SpA diagnosis. Patients with radiographic damage and long disease duration have an increased risk for uveitis in both male and female SpA patients. Patients with uveitis should be referred to a rheumatologist for a thorough evaluation of SpA. ((C) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)
