AB0488 SPONDYLOARTHRITIS DISEASE BURDEN AS PERCEIVED BY PATIENTS: BASELINE PATIENT-REPORTED OUTCOME DATA FROM THE ITALIAN PROSPECTIVE SIRENA STUDY

Background:Previous studies have compared Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Spondyloarthritis (SpA); a recent one has found similarity in Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) and axial patients1.Objectives:To describe PROs at SpA diagnosis (new or confirmed), by type of SpA and by gender.Methods:SIRENA is an Italian, prospective Registry of SpA patients diagnosed according to ASAS criteria and naïve to any DMARDs. At inclusion, patients were classified as predominant axial (AxSpA) or mainly peripheral (pSpA). PROs showed in the Table 1 were collected and analysed descriptively.Table 1.PhGA and PROs at diagnosis*AxSpA*pSpAAll(n=123)Women(n=64)Men(n=58)All(n=227)Women(n=109)Men(n=118)PhGA, n1156054222105117mean (SD)50.2 (28.6)54.8 (26.7)45.0 (30.1)45.4 (25.9)49.9 (25.6)41.3 (25.6)median (min, max)52.0 (0-100)62.0 (0-100)43.5 (0-100)48.5 (0-100)50.0 (1.0-100)40.0 (0-95.0)PtGA, n1125952209102107mean (SD)56.4 (27.8)61.5 (25.8)50.3 (29.2)50.3 (26.2)56.4 (23.1)44.5 (27.7)median (min, max)63.0 (0-100)70.0 (2.0-100)50.0 (0-100)50.0 (0-100)58.5 (7.0-100)47.0 (0-100)Pain VAS score, n1136052207101106mean (SD)56.7 (28.3)61.1 (26.6)50.6 (29.1)51.9 (26.8)57.4 (25.3)46.8 (27.3)median (min, max)60.0 (0-100)69.5 (2.0-100)50.0 (0-100)53.0 (0-100)61.0 (0-100)48.5 (0-100)Sleep VAS score, n1136052211103108mean (SD)55.3 (29.3)57.4 (29.5)52.3 (29.2)44.0 (30.1)50.4 (29.8)37.9 (29.2)median (min, max)59.0 (0-100)61.5 (0-100)53.0 (0-100)44.0 (0-100)53.0 (0-100)34.0 (0-100)BASFI, n11058511336568mean (SD)4.6 (2.8)5.2 (2.6)3.9 (2.8)3.5 (2.6)4.0 (2.6)3.1 (2.4)median (min, max)5.1 (0-9.7)5.8 (0-9.4)3.6 (0-9.6)2.9 (0-10.0)3.9 (0-10.0)2.45 (0-8.9)BASDAI, n11259521397069mean (SD)5.2 (2.4)5.8 (2.3)4.5 (2.3)5.2 (2.3)5.8 (2.1)4.6 (2.3)median (min, max)5.5 (0-9.3)6.2 (0-9.3)4.5 (0.3-9.2)5.5 (0.2-10.0)6.1 (1.0-10.0)4.8 (0.2-9.2)HAQ-DI score, n109585020399104mean (SD)0.9 (0.7)1.1 (0.7)0.6 (0.6)0.7 (0.7)0.9 (0.7)0.6 (0.6)median (min, max)0.8 (0.0-2.5)1.1 (0-2.5)0.5 (0-2.3)0.6 (0.0-2.8)0.8 (0-2.8)0.4 (0-2.6)WPAI% work time missed, n4919301074562mean (SD)7.3 (21.4)4.2 (9.5)9.2 (26.3)8.8 (24.7)8.6 (25.6)8.9 (24.3)median (min, max)0 (0-100)0 (0-35.1)0 (0-100)0 (0-100)0 (0-100)0 (0-100)% impairment at work, n6733341346173mean (SD)48.2 (31.9)58.5 (26.6)38.2 (33.7)39.7 (31.4)45.4 (30.9)34.9 (31.2)median (min, max)50.0 (0-100)60.0 (0-100)25.0 (0-100)40.0 (0-100)50.0 (0-100)30.0 (0-100)% overall work impairment, n4819291064561mean (SD)44.1 (33.0)52.4 (27.9)38.7 (35.3)40.1 (33.0)45.1 (33.1)36.4 (32.7)median (min, max)45.0 (0-100)60.0 (0-100)20.0 (0-100)40.0 (0-100)50.0 (0-100)30.0 (0-100)% activity impairment, n10053461839390mean (SD)56.7 (28.6)63.4 (23.9)48.0 (31.0)48.5 (30.3)55.3 (28.7)41.4 (30.4)median (min, max)60.0 (0-100)70.0 (0-100)50.0 (0-100)50.0 (0-100)60.0 (0-100)40.0 (0-100)* The sum does not add up to the total because of some missing values.Results:From 23 sites, 123 AxSpA and 227 pSpA patients were analysed. Diagnosis was new in 58% of AxSpA and 77% of pSpA. 85.5% of the pSpA had PsA, while in AxSpA the most frequent type was Ankylosing Spondylitis (48.8%). Time from symptom onset to diagnosis was higher in AxSpA than in pSpA (median 36 vs 24 months, respectively). At inclusion, composite disease activity measures showed high disease activity for AxSpA (mean ASDAS-CRP 3.1) and moderate disease activity for pSpA (mean DAS28 3.6; mean DAPSA 22.5). AxSpA patients had numerically worse values than pSpA in all the PROs collected, except for BASDAI score that was similar (mean 5.2). For both AxSpA and pSpA, all PROs were worse in women than men, except for the % of work time missed. PtGA scores were higher than PhGA, in each group and gender.Conclusion:At diagnosis, SpA patients perceive a slightly higher disease burden than assessed by Physicians. For PROs other than BASDAI, AxSpA reported a worse impact than pSpA. Overall, women showed a higher disease impact than men.References:[1]Michelsen B. et al.
