THU0569 MANAGEMENT OF ADULT-ONSET STILL’S DISEASE (AOSD) WITH IL-1 INHIBITORS: EVIDENCE- AND CONSENSUS-BASED STATEMENTS BY A PANEL OF ITALIAN EXPERTS

2019

Background: Still’s disease is a rare autoinflammatory disease, presenting in both pediatric [systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA)] and adult patients [adult-onset Still’s disease (AOSD]. Due to the rarity of the disease, clinical trials are limited and treatment guidelines are not available. In patients refractory to the classical therapy with NSAIDs, corticosteroids and DMARDs, the introduction of drugs targeting IL-1 has greatly expanded treatment options. Among these, canakinumab, a human monoclonal anti-IL-1β antibody, and anakinra, a human recombinant IL-1RA, have been recently approved for the treatment of refractory patients.

Patient-reported impact of spondyloarthritis on work disability and working life: the ATLANTIS survey

2016

Background The aim was to establish how patients experience the impact of spondyloarthritis (SpA) on work disability and working life. Methods The survey was performed in 17/20 regions in Italy (1 January to 31 March 2013). A multiple-choice questionnaire was published on the official website of the sponsor - the National Association of Rheumatic Patients (ANMAR) - and hard-copies were distributed at outpatient clinics for rheumatic patients. Results Respondents (n = 770) were of both sexes (56 % men), educated (62 % at high school or more), of working age (75 % aged ≤60 years), and affected by SpA. The most common types diagnosed were ankylosing spondylitis (AS) (39 %) and psoriatic arthri…

High prevalence of fragility vertebral fractures in patients hospitalised in Internal Medicine Units. Results of the POINT (Prevalence of Osteoporosi…

2015

Abstract Background Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (VFs) often go unrecognised in both healthy individuals and in pathological conditions. Few data exist on VFs in patients hospitalised in Internal Medicine Units (IMUs), who often suffer from multiple concomitant chronic disorders. Aim of the study This multicentre cross-sectional study was aimed at assessing the prevalence of VFs in an unselected population of patients referring to IMUs. Correlations between VFs and the main coexisting diseases were also investigated. Methods Information on demographic, clinical and laboratory findings, and on the presence of known risk factors for osteoporosis was recorded. The Genant's semi-quantitativ…
