    Las vasculitis asociadas a ANCA representan un grupo de enfermedades autoinmunes, multisiste虂micas, que afectan principalmente a los vasos de pequen虄o calibre, pudiendo comprometer el tracto respiratorio superior e inferior, el aparato otorrinolaringolo虂gico, rin虄o虂n y piel, aunque eventualmente cualquier o虂rgano puede estar involucrado. Son enfermedades con potencial y severo compromiso de o虂rganos y elevada morbimortalidad. El objetivo de estas gui虂as fue desarrollar las primeras recomendaciones argentinas para su tratamiento, basadas en la revisio虂n de la literatura mediante metodologi虂a GRADE. Un panel de expertos en vasculitis elaboro虂 las preguntas en formato PICO (poblacio虂n, intervencio虂n, comparador y outcomes), y luego un panel de expertos en metodologi虂a efectuo虂 la revisio虂n de la bibliografi虂a con la extraccio虂n de la evidencia para cada una de las preguntas. Se realizo虂 un focus group de pacientes para conocer sus preferencias y experiencias. Finalmente, con la informacio虂n recabada, el panel de expertos en vasculitis procedio虂 a la votacio虂n de las recomendaciones que a continuacio虂n se presentan

    Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology guidelines for the treatment of giant cell arteritis

    Full text link
    Considerable variability exists in the way that health-care providers treat patients with giant cell arteritis in Latin America, with patients commonly exposed to excessive amounts of glucocorticoids. In addition, large health disparities prevail in this region due to socioeconomic factors, which influence access to care, including biological treatments. For these reasons, the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology developed the first evidence-based giant cell arteritis treatment guidelines tailored for Latin America. A panel of vasculitis experts from Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, and Argentina generated clinically meaningful questions related to the treatment of giant cell arteritis in the population, intervention, comparator, and outcome (PICO) format. Following the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation methodology, a team of methodologists did a systematic literature search, extracted and summarised the effects of the interventions, and graded the quality of the evidence. The panel of vasculitis experts voted on each PICO question and made recommendations, which required at least 70% agreement among the voting members to be included in the guidelines. Nine recommendations and one expert opinion statement for the treatment of giant cell arteritis were developed considering the most up-to-date evidence and the socioeconomic characteristics of Latin America. These recommendations include guidance for the use of glucocorticoids, tocilizumab, methotrexate, and aspirin for patients with giant cell arteritis.Fil: Scolnik, Marina.

    Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology Guidelines for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis

    Considerable variability exists in the way health-care providers treat patients with antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis in Latin America. The most frequently used treatments for ANCA-associated vasculitis are cyclophosphamide and prolonged glucocorticoid tapers; however, randomised controlled trials conducted over the past 30 years have led to the development of several evidence-based treatment alternatives for these patients. Latin America faces socioeconomic challenges that affect access to care, and the use of certain costly medications with proven efficacy ANCA-associated vasculitis is often restricted. For these reasons, the Pan American League of Associations for Rheumatology developed the first ANCA-associated vasculitis treatment guidelines tailored for Latin America. A panel of local vasculitis experts generated clinically meaningful questions related to the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis using the Population, Intervention, Comparator, and Outcome (PICO) format. Following the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation methodology, a team of methodologists conducted a systematic literature review. The panel of vasculitis experts voted on each PICO question and made recommendations, which required at least 70% agreement among the voting members. 21 recommendations and two expert opinion statements for the treatment of ANCA-associated vasculitis were developed, considering the current evidence and the socioeconomic characteristics of the region. These recommendations include guidance for the use of glucocorticoids, non-glucocorticoid immunosuppressants, and plasma exchange.Fil: Magri, Sebasti谩n Juan.

    Environmental and societal factors associated with COVID-19-related death in people with rheumatic disease: an observational study

    Published by Elsevier Ltd.Background: Differences in the distribution of individual-level clinical risk factors across regions do not fully explain the observed global disparities in COVID-19 outcomes. We aimed to investigate the associations between environmental and societal factors and country-level variations in mortality attributed to COVID-19 among people with rheumatic disease globally. Methods: In this observational study, we derived individual-level data on adults (aged 18-99 years) with rheumatic disease and a confirmed status of their highest COVID-19 severity level from the COVID-19 Global Rheumatology Alliance (GRA) registry, collected between March 12, 2020, and Aug 27, 2021. Environmental and societal factors were obtained from publicly available sources. The primary endpoint was mortality attributed to COVID-19. We used a multivariable logistic regression to evaluate independent associations between environmental and societal factors and death, after controlling for individual-level risk factors. We used a series of nested mixed-effects models to establish whether environmental and societal factors sufficiently explained country-level variations in death. Findings: 14 044 patients from 23 countries were included in the analyses. 10 178 (72路5%) individuals were female and 3866 (27路5%) were male, with a mean age of 54路4 years (SD 15路6). Air pollution (odds ratio 1路10 per 10 渭g/m3 [95% CI 1路01-1路17]; p=0路0105), proportion of the population aged 65 years or older (1路19 per 1% increase [1路10-1路30]; p<0路0001), and population mobility (1路03 per 1% increase in number of visits to grocery and pharmacy stores [1路02-1路05]; p<0路0001 and 1路02 per 1% increase in number of visits to workplaces [1路00-1路03]; p=0路032) were independently associated with higher odds of mortality. Number of hospital beds (0路94 per 1-unit increase per 1000 people [0路88-1路00]; p=0路046), human development index (0路65 per 0路1-unit increase [0路44-0路96]; p=0路032), government response stringency (0路83 per 10-unit increase in containment index [0路74-0路93]; p=0路0018), as well as follow-up time (0路78 per month [0路69-0路88]; p<0路0001) were independently associated with lower odds of mortality. These factors sufficiently explained country-level variations in death attributable to COVID-19 (intraclass correlation coefficient 1路2% [0路1-9路5]; p=0路14). Interpretation: Our findings highlight the importance of environmental and societal factors as potential explanations of the observed regional disparities in COVID-19 outcomes among people with rheumatic disease and lay foundation for a new research agenda to address these disparities.MAG is supported by the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (grant numbers K01 AR070585 and K24 AR074534 [JY]).
