Data_Sheet_1_Inflammatory profile of incident cases of late-onset compared with young-onset rheumatoid arthritis: A nested cohort study.docx
ObjectivesTo describe the characteristics of patients between late-onset rheumatoid arthritis (LORA) with young-onset (YORA), and analyze their association with cumulative inflammatory burden.MethodsWe performed a nested cohort study in a prospective cohort comprising 110 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and 110 age- and sex-matched controls. The main variable was cumulative inflammatory activity according to the 28-joint Disease Activity Score with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR). High activity was defined as DAS28 ≥ 3.2 and low activity as DAS28 ResultsA total of 22/110 patients (20%) met the criteria for LORA (≥ 60 years). Patients with LORA more frequently had comorbid conditions than patients with YORA and controls. Compared with YORA patients, more LORA patients had cumulative high inflammatory activity from onset [13 (59%) vs. 28 (31%); p = 0.018] and high values for CRP (p = 0.039) and IL-6 (p = 0.045). Cumulative high inflammatory activity in patients with RA was associated with LORA [OR (95% CI) 4.69 (1.49–10.71); p = 0.008], smoking [OR (95% CI) 2.07 (1.13–3.78); p = 0.017], anti–citrullinated peptide antibody [OR (95% CI) 3.24 (1.15–9.13); p = 0.025], average Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) score [OR (95% CI) 2.09 (1.03–14.23); p = 0.034], and physical activity [OR (95% CI) 0.99 (0.99–0.99); p = 0.010]. The second model revealed similar associations with inflammatory activity in patients with LORA.ConclusionControl of inflammation after diagnosis is poorer and comorbidity more frequent in patients with LORA than in YORA patients and healthy controls.</p

Genetic variants showing heterogeneous genetic effects on CVD risk across autoimmune diseases.
<p>For each associated SNP (<b>A:</b> rs17465637. <b>B:</b> rs11924705. <b>C:</b> rs2895811. <b>D:</b> rs6789378) the Odds Ratio (OR, black dots) and 95% confidence intervals (horizontal lines) are shown for each of the 6 autoimmune diseases and the combined autoimmune cohort (AID). The SNPs showing a significant association with CVD risk in an autoimmune disease are highlighted in red. For each of the three genotypes of each SNP (risk allele homozygous, heterozygous, non-risk allele homozygous), the incidence of CVD is described in the accompanying table.</p
