AI Article Synopsis

  • * A 2-year observational study enrolled 127 patients: 101 with psoriasis, 12 with psoriatic arthritis, and 14 with ankylosing spondylitis, with most patients having moderate to severe disease severity.
  • * The study found that disease durations varied, with psoriasis patients averaging 11 years, and reveals that future publications will provide long-term efficacy and safety data for secukinumab.

Article Abstract

Introduction: Secukinumab has proven to be effective and safe in psoriasis (PsO), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in the phase 3 studies. However, data on real-world practice is limited.

Methods: This study is an ongoing, multicenter, 2-year observational study that focuses on patients with moderate to severe plaque PsO, active PsA, or AS receiving secukinumab. The aim of this study is to present baseline data for the entire study population.

Results: A total of 127 patients were enrolled, with 101 having PsO, 12 with PsA, and 14 with AS. Among the patients, approximately 54.0% were male. The mean body mass index ranged from 25.0 to 27.4 kg/m across all groups. Patients with PsO had the longest disease duration with an average of 11.0 years, followed by AS (3.0 years) and PsA (1.0 year). Previous biologic therapy was observed in 6.9-8.1% of patients. Baseline disease severity scores revealed moderate to severe disease. In the PsO group, the mean Psoriasis Area and Severity Index score was 16.1. For patients with PsA, the mean Tender Joint Count was 9.1, and the mean Swollen Joint Count was 6.7. In the AS group, the mean Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index score was 4.6, and the mean Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score was 3.7.

Conclusion: The study demonstrates disease durations, disease activity, and treatment history in Thai patients that were generally consistent with previous randomized controlled studies. Long-term data on the efficacy and safety of the treatment will be presented in future publications.

Objective: Greater accessibility to ambulatory services may mitigate emergency department (ED) presentations for lower acuity issues. This study examined ED utilization patterns for individuals with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) in a universal access healthcare setting.

Methods: Linked population-based administrative datasets in Alberta, Canada (fiscal years 2008-2017) were assessed for yearly ED visit frequency, timing, triage acuity, most responsible diagnoses, and disposition for persons with PsA and AS.

Objective: This study aimed to assess infection occurrence of infection and risk factors among ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients treated with biologics in a real-world setting.

Methods: This prospective observational cohort study included AS patients from the Korean College of Rheumatology BIOlogics (KOBIO) registry who initiated or switched to biologic agent between December 2012 and July 2023. The primary outcome was the first occurrence of any infection, ranging from mild to severe, classified by organ system.
