Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis that affects the spine and sacroiliac joints. It causes significant disability and is associated with a number of other features including peripheral arthritis, anterior uveitis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Significant progress has been made in the genetics of AS have in the last five years, leading to new treatments in trial, and major leaps in understanding of the aetiopathogenesis of the disease.

Examining the Characteristics of Colchicine-Induced Myelosuppression in Clinical Cases: A Systematic Review

Bernice L. Sim, Beatrice Z. Sim, Matthew Tunbridge, David F. L. Liew, Philip C. Robinson

Summary: This systematic review identified 30 studies involving 47 patients with myelosuppression caused by colchicine. Most patients had comorbidities, such as renal impairment, and were taking CYP3A4 or P-gp inhibitors. The severity of myelosuppression varied, ranging from moderate anemia to severe thrombocytopenia, neutropenia, and leukopenia.

Why Do Some Patients Have Severe Sacroiliac Disease But No Syndesmophytes in Ankylosing Spondylitis ? Data From a Nested Case-Control Study

Summary: This study investigated a subgroup of patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS) who had long-standing disease and fused sacroiliac (SI) joints and found that females and males with early symptom onset had less radiographic damage in the SI joints. All 23 patients without syndesmophytes were HLA-B27 positive.

COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in inflammatory arthritis patients: serial surveys from a large longitudinal national Australian cohort

Christopher McMaster, David F. L. Liew, Susan Lester, Adam Rischin, Rachel J. Black, Vibhasha Chand, Ashley Fletcher, Marissa N. Lassere, Lyn March, Philip C. Robinson, Rachelle Buchbinder, Catherine L. Hill

Summary: This study aimed to determine the COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy rates among inflammatory arthritis patients and identify factors associated with changing vaccine hesitancy over time. The findings showed that beliefs about medication harm and overuse before the pandemic were associated with COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy. Furthermore, individuals who did not seek vaccine information from healthcare professionals were more likely to develop vaccine hesitancy during the pandemic.

Summary: A study on individuals with SLE in the US found that Black and Hispanic patients had higher odds of experiencing more severe COVID-19 outcomes compared to White patients, which may be attributed to socioeconomic and health disparities.

Equity Considerations in COVID-19 Vaccination Studies of Individuals With Autoimmune Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases

Harry Wang, Omar Dewidar, Samuel L. L. Whittle, Elizabeth Ghogomu, Glen Hazlewood, Karin Leder, Lawrence Mbuagbaw, Jordi Pardo Pardo, Philip C. C. Robinson, Rachelle Buchbinder, Vivian Welch

Summary: This study examined the extent to which populations experiencing inequities were considered in studies on COVID-19 vaccination in individuals with autoimmune inflammatory rheumatic diseases (AIRDs). The results showed that sex and age were the most frequently considered factors in these studies. However, the generalizability of evidence to populations experiencing inequities is uncertain.

Summary: This study investigated the COVID-19 outcomes for individuals with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases in Ireland. The results showed that increasing age, gout, smoking, long-term glucocorticoid use, comorbidities, and specific comorbidities were associated with higher rates of hospitalization and mortality.

Managing Cardiovascular and Cancer Risk Associated with JAK Inhibitors

Victor Yang, Tue W. Kragstrup, Christopher McMaster, Pankti Reid, Namrata Singh, Stine R. Haysen, Philip C. Robinson, David F. L. Liew

Summary: Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi) have shown great potential as immune-modulating therapies for chronic inflammatory diseases. However, concerns about cardiovascular and cancer risks have arisen from recent studies, particularly in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and existing cardiovascular risk. While this risk has not been fully demonstrated in other patient populations, it has led to a re-evaluation of the use of JAKi in various contexts. Clinicians must carefully consider these risks and other factors when considering JAKi as a treatment option for their patients.

Summary: This study investigated factors associated with severe COVID-19 in patients with psoriasis, psoriatic arthritis, and axial spondyloarthritis. The study found that age, sex, comorbidities, disease activity, and glucocorticoid use were associated with the severity of COVID-19. Additionally, later pandemic time periods, psoriasis, and the use of TNFi, IL17i, and IL-23i/IL-12+23i were associated with a reduced risk of severe COVID-19.
