Abstract: Objectives Racial factors play a significant role in SSc. We evaluated differences in SSc presentations between white patients (WP), Asian patients (AP) and black patients (BP) and analysed the effects of geographical locations. Methods SSc characteristics of patients from the EUSTAR cohort were cross-sectionally compared across racial groups using survival and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results The study included 9162 WP, 341 AP and 181 BP. AP developed the first non-RP feature faster than WP but slower than BP. AP were less frequently anti-centromere (ACA; odds ratio (OR) = 0.4, P < 0.001) and more frequently anti-topoisomerase-I autoantibodies (ATA) positive (OR = 1.2, P = 0.068), while BP were less likely to be ACA and ATA positive than were WP [OR(ACA) = 0.3, P < 0.001; OR(ATA) = 0.5, P = 0.020]. AP had less often (OR = 0.7, P = 0.06) and BP more often (OR = 2.7, P < 0.001) diffuse skin involvement than had WP. AP and BP were more likely to have pulmonary hypertension [OR(AP) = 2.6, P < 0.001; OR(BP) = 2.7, P = 0.03 vs WP] and a reduced forced vital capacity [OR(AP) = 2.5, P < 0.001; OR(BP) = 2.4, P < 0.004] than were WP. AP more often had an impaired diffusing capacity of the lung than had BP and WP [OR(AP vs BP) = 1.9, P = 0.038; OR(AP vs WP) = 2.4, P < 0.001]. After RP onset, AP and BP had a higher hazard to die than had WP [hazard ratio (HR) (AP) = 1.6, P = 0.011; HR(BP) = 2.1, P < 0.001]. Conclusion Compared with WP, and mostly independent of geographical location, AP have a faster and earlier disease onset with high prevalences of ATA, pulmonary hypertension and forced vital capacity impairment and higher mortality. BP had the fastest disease onset, a high prevalence of diffuse skin involvement and nominally the highest mortality.

In the past years, a growing body of evidence demonstrated that immune response plays a significant role in cancer outcome. However, immune prognostic markers are not completely validated in clinical practice in BC patients. Materials and methods: With the aim to characterize immune features, several parameters were analyzed in peripheral blood at diagnosis of 85 nonmetastatic BC patients between April 2011 and July 2014. Results: With a median follow-up of 38.6 months, peripheral blood analysis of BC patients (stages I, II, and III) showed that total lymphocyte and T lymphocyte counts were augmented in nonrelapsed patients. Also, a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio was associated with prolonged disease-free survival. Natural killer cell receptor analysis revealed that early activation receptor CD69 was associated with a better outcome. Conclusion: This preliminary evidence is in accordance with the concept of immune surveillance. We suggest an “immune phenotype” that provides relevant prognostic information in early-stage BC patients and which could be useful in the decision-making process.

Abstract: The objective of this study was to evaluate the impact of digital ulcers (DUs) in daily life of systemic sclerosis (SSc) Spanish patients. We developed a multicenter observational study to compare functional disability in SSc patients with active DUs vs. those without DUs. An additional correlation between perception of patients and physicians on disability due to DUs was performed. A total of 199 patients were enrolled, 70 (35%) with DUs. Patients with DUs were younger (48 vs. 58 years; p < 0.001) and had more frequently the diffuse subtype of SSc (45 vs. 24%; p = 0.004) than patients without DUs. Patients with DUs showed significantly higher scores in the Cochin Hand Function Scale overall (p < 0.002) and for each of its five dimensions. They also showed higher scores in the Systemic Sclerosis Health Assessment Questionnaire items related to hand function such as, dress and self-care (p < 0.013), eat (p < 0.013) and grip (p < 0.03), and higher Visual Analogic Scale scores for pain (p < 0.013), trouble related with Raynaud's Phenomenon (p < 0.001) and sense of severity (p < 0.004). Impact on daily activities was significantly higher in patients with DUs (p = 0.002), with a non-significant trend to experience higher impact on work productivity (p = 0.07). A high correlation was found between DUs patients and physicians opinion on the impact of DUs (daily life: Pearson R = 0.86; work productivity: Pearson R = 0.87). Study findings show an impaired hand function and increased disability for daily life activities and work productivity in SSc patients with DUs compared with patients without DUs in Spanish population.

Abstract: Objective In patients with SSc, peripheral vasculopathy can promote critical ischaemia and gangrene. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence, incidence and risk factors for gangrene in the EUSTAR cohort. Methods We included patients from the EUSTAR database fulfilling the ACR 1980 or the ACR/EULAR 2013 classification criteria for SSc, with at least one visit recording data on gangrene. Centres were asked for supplementary data on traditional cardiovascular risk factors. We analysed the cross-sectional relationship between gangrene and its potential risk factors by univariable and multivariable logistic regression. Longitudinal data were analysed by Cox proportional hazards regression. Results 1757 patients were analysed (age 55.9 [14.5] years, disease duration 7.9 [10.3] years, male sex 16.7%, 24.6% diffuse cutaneous subset [dcSSc]). At inclusion, 8.9% of patients had current or previous digital gangrene, 16.1% had current digital ulcers (DUs) and 42.7% had ever had DUs (current or previous). Older age, DUs ever and dcSSc were statistically significant risk factors for gangrene in the cross-sectional multivariable model. During a median follow-up of 13.1 months, 16/771 (0.9%) patients developed gangrene. All 16 patients who developed gangrene had previously had DUs and gangrene. Further risk factors for incident gangrene were the dcSSc subset and longer disease duration. Conclusion In unselected SSc patients, gangrene occurs in about 9% of SSc patients. DUs ever and, to a lesser extent, the dcSSc subset are strongly and independently associated with gangrene, while traditional cardiovascular risk factors could not be identified as risk factors.

Abstract: ObjectiveTo assess the safety and efficacy of rituximab in systemic sclerosis (SSc) in clinical practice.MethodsWe performed a prospective study including patients with SSc from the European Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) network treated with rituximab and matched with untreated patients with SSc. The main outcomes measures were adverse events, skin fibrosis improvement, lung fibrosis worsening and steroids use among propensity score-matched patients treated or not with rituximab.Results254 patients were treated with rituximab, in 58% for lung and in 32% for skin involvement. After a median follow-up of 2 years, about 70% of the patients had no side effect. Comparison of treated patients with 9575 propensity-score matched patients showed that patients treated with rituximab were more likely to have skin fibrosis improvement (22.7 vs 14.03 events per 100 person-years; OR: 2.79 [1.47–5.32]; p=0.002). Treated patients did not have significantly different rates of decrease in forced vital capacity (FVC)>10% (OR: 1.03 [0.55–1.94]; p=0.93) nor in carbon monoxide diffusing capacity (DLCO) decrease. Patients having received rituximab were more prone to stop or decrease steroids (OR: 2.34 [1.56–3.53], pConclusionRituximab use was associated with a good safety profile in this large SSc-cohort. Significant change was observed on skin fibrosis, but not on lung. However, the limitation is the observational design. The potential stabilisation of lung fibrosis by rituximab has to be addressed by a randomised trial.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To generate a core set of items to develop classification criteria for scleroderma renal crisis (SRC) using consensus methodology. METHODS: An international, multidisciplinary panel of experts was invited to participate in a 3-round Delphi exercise developed using a survey based on items identified by a scoping review. In round 1, participants were asked to identify omissions and clarify ambiguities regarding the items in the survey. In round 2, participants were asked to rate the validity and feasibility of the items using Likert-type scales ranging from 1 to 9 (where 1 = very invalid/unfeasible, 5 = uncertain, and 9 = very valid/feasible). In round 3, participants reviewed the results and comments from round 2 and were asked to provide final ratings. Items rated as highly valid and feasible (median scores ≥7 for each) in round 3 were selected as the provisional core set of items. A consensus meeting using a nominal group technique was conducted to further reduce the core set of items. RESULTS: Ninety-nine experts from 16 countries participated in the Delphi exercise. Of the 31 items in the survey, consensus was achieved on 13, in the categories hypertension, renal insufficiency, proteinuria, and hemolysis. Eleven experts took part in the nominal group technique discussion, where consensus was achieved in 5 domains: blood pressure, acute kidney injury, microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, target organ dysfunction, and renal histopathology. CONCLUSION: A core set of items that characterize SRC was identified using consensus methodology. This core set will be used in future data-driven phases of this project to develop classification criteria for SRC.

Abstract: In the Muller duct malformations, which are not very frequent, we find the didelphic uterus or double uterus, being this, an alteration of the lateral fusion which is product of the incomplete closure of these conducts or the lack of reabsorption of the partition wall. The prevalence of anomalies of the conducts of Muller reported in the general public varies from 1 to 5% and of these; the didelphic uterus constitutes 5%. We present the case of a 16 year old primiparous patient, with a pregnancy of 33 weeks with 1 day of gestation, without prenatal control, who came to consultation for obstetric pain to the gineco-obstetric emergency at Hospital Escuela Universitario, located in the city of Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The patient was managed with tocolytic medication; nevertheless, she evolved to labor on the second in-hospital day, with termination of the pregnancy via vaginal, with a healthy, live product. In the immediate postpartum she presented moderate bleeding, a control ultrasound was carried out with the identification of two uterine cavities, both cavities continuing with a vagina and a vaginal septum, establishing the didelphic uterus diagnosis. The clinical history and detailed physical exam can guide us to an early diagnosis for this type of malformations, preventing complications derived from the lack of knowledge of having this condition., Dentro de las malformaciones de los conductos de Müller, las cuales son poco frecuentes, encontramos el útero didelfo o útero doble, siendo ésta una alteración de la fusión lateral que se debe al cierre incompleto de estos conductos o a la falta de reabsorción del tabique. La prevalencia de las anomalías de los conductos de Müller reportada en la población general varía de 1 a 5% y de éstas el útero didelfo constituye el 5%. Presentamos el caso de una paciente primigesta de 16 años de edad, con embarazo de 33 semanas con 1 día de gestación, sin control prenatal, quien acudió a consulta por dolor tipo obstétrico a la emergencia de ginecoobstetricia del Hospital Escuela Universitario, ubicado en la ciudad de Tegucigalpa, Honduras. La paciente fue manejada con fármacos uteroinhibidores, sin embargo, evolucionó a trabajo de parto al segundo día intrahospitalario, con terminación de embarazo vía vaginal con producto vivo, sano, en el puerperio inmediato presentó sangrado moderado, realizándose ultrasonido pélvico que mostró retención de restos placentarios. Se indicó legrado uterino instrumentado, encontrando durante el procedimiento de forma incidental: septum vaginal longitudinal roto y dos cérvix, confirmándose el hallazgo por ultrasonido control e identificándose además dos cavidades uterinas, ambas cavidades continuándose con una vagina y un septum vaginal, estableciéndose el diagnóstico de útero didelfo. La historia clínica y el examen físico minucioso pueden orientarnos a un diagnóstico precoz de este tipo de malformaciones, previniendo complicaciones derivadas del desconocimiento de padecer esta condición.

Abstract: Digital ulcers (DUs) are frequent manifestations of systemic scleroderma (SSc). This study assessed functional limitations due to DUs among patients enrolled in the Digital Ulcer Outcome (DUO) Registry, an international, multicentre, observational registry of SSc patients with DU disease.Patients completed at enrolment a DU-specific functional assessment questionnaire with a 1-month recall period, measuring impairment in work and daily activities, and hours of help needed from others. Physician-reported clinical parameters were used to describe the population. For patients who completed at least part of the questionnaire, descriptive analyses were performed for overall results, and stratified by number of DUs at enrolment.This study included 2327 patients who completed at least part of the questionnaire. For patients with 0, 1-2, and ≥3 DUs at enrolment, mean overall work impairment during the prior month among employed/self-employed patients was 28%, 42%, and 48%, respectively. Across all included patients, ability to perform daily activities was impaired on average by 35%, 54%, and 63%, respectively. Patients required a mean of 2.0, 8.7, and 8.8 hours of paid help and 17.0, 35.9, and 63.7 hours of unpaid help, respectively, due to DUs in the prior month. Patients with DUs had more complications and medication use than patients with no DUs.With increasing number of DUs, SSc patients reported more impairment in work and daily activities and required more support from others.

Abstract: Background: The current subclassification of systemic sclerosis into cutaneous subtypes does not fully capture the heterogeneity of the disease. We aimed to compare the performances of stratification into LeRoy's cutaneous subtypes versus stratification by autoantibody status in systemic sclerosis. Methods: For this cohort study, we assessed people with systemic sclerosis in the multicentre international European Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) database. Individuals positive for systemic-sclerosis autoantibodies of two specificities were excluded, and remaining individuals were classified by cutaneous subtype, according to their systemic sclerosis-specific autoantibodies, or both. We assessed the performance of each model to predict overall survival, progression-free survival, disease progression, and different organ involvement. The three models were compared by use of the area under the curve (AUC) of the receiver operating characteristic and the net reclassification improvement (NRI). Missing data were imputed. Findings: We assessed the database on July 26, 2019. Of 16 939 patients assessed for eligibility, 10 711 patients were included: 1647 (15·4%) of 10 709 were male, 9062 (84·6%) were female, mean age was 54·4 (SD 13·8) years, and mean disease duration was 7·9 (SD 8·2) years. Information regarding cutaneous subtype was available for 10 176 participants and antibody data were available for 9643 participants. In the prognostic analysis, there was no difference in AUC for overall survival (0·82, 95% CI 0·81–0·84 for cutaneous only vs 0·84, 0·82–0·85 for antibody only vs 0·84, 0·83–0·86 for combined) or for progression-free survival (0·70, 0·69–0·71 vs 0·71, 0·70–0·72 vs 0·71, 0·70–0·72). However, at 4 years the NRI showed substantial improvement for the antibody-only model compared with the cutaneous-only model in prediction of overall survival (0·57, 0·46–0·71 for antibody only vs 0·29, 0·19–0·39 for cutaneous only) and disease progression (0·36, 0·29–0·46 vs 0·21, 0·14–0·28). The antibody-only model did better than the cutaneous-only model in predicting renal crisis (AUC 0·72, 0·70–0·74 for antibody only vs 0·66, 0·64–0·69 for cutaneous only) and lung fibrosis leading to restrictive lung function (AUC 0·76, 0·75–0·77 vs 0·71, 0·70–0·72). The combined model improved the prediction of digital ulcers and elevated systolic pulmonary artery pressure, but did poorly for cardiac involvement. Interpretation: The autoantibody-only model outperforms cutaneous-only subsetting for risk stratifying people with systemic sclerosis in the EUSTAR cohort. Physicians should be aware of these findings at the time of decision making for patient management. Funding: World Scleroderma Foundation.

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a heterogeneous connective tissue disease that is typically subdivided into limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) and diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) depending on the extent of skin involvement. This subclassification may not capture the entire variability of clinical phenotypes. The European Scleroderma Trials and Research (EUSTAR) database includes data on a prospective cohort of SSc patients from 122 European referral centers. This study was undertaken to perform a cluster analysis of EUSTAR data to distinguish and characterize homogeneous phenotypes without any a priori assumptions, and to examine survival among the clusters obtained. METHODS: A total of 11,318 patients were registered in the EUSTAR database, and 6,927 were included in the study. Twenty-four clinical and serologic variables were used for clustering. RESULTS: Clustering analyses provided a first delineation of 2 clusters showing moderate stability. In an exploratory attempt, we further characterized 6 homogeneous groups that differed with regard to their clinical features, autoantibody profile, and mortality. Some groups resembled usual dcSSc or lcSSc prototypes, but others exhibited unique features, such as a majority of lcSSc patients with a high rate of visceral damage and antitopoisomerase antibodies. Prognosis varied among groups and the presence of organ damage markedly impacted survival regardless of cutaneous involvement. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest that restricting subsets of SSc patients to only those based on cutaneous involvement may not capture the complete heterogeneity of the disease. Organ damage and antibody profile should be taken into consideration when individuating homogeneous groups of patients with a distinct prognosis. ispartof: ARTHRITIS & RHEUMATOLOGY vol:71 issue:9 pages:1553-1570 ispartof: location:United States status: published

Subjects: Male, Humans, Female, Cross-Sectional Studies, C-Reactive Protein analysis, Spondylitis, Ankylosing, Sacroiliitis, Axial Spondyloarthritis, Spondylarthritis epidemiology
Abstract: Objectives: To evaluate the properties of a single question to determine patient perception of remission and disease activity; to compare this with existing definitions for remission and low disease activity (LDA)., Methods: Single-center, cross-sectional study in a tertiary care hospital. Patients with axSpA (fulfilling ASAS criteria) were consecutively included. Both the patient's perception of remission and LDA and that of the physician were evaluated with a single question. Agreement between the patients' perception and other current definitions was tested using the prevalence-adjusted and bias-adjusted kappa (PABAK). The sensitivity (S) and specificity (Sp) of current definitions of disease states were tested against the patient's perception as the gold standard., Results: The study population included 105 axSpA patients (63.8% males; 67.6% with radiographic sacroiliitis). Patients considered themselves to be in remission in 21% of cases and in LDA in 51.4%; physicians considered patients to be in remission in 45.7% of cases and in LDA in 35.2%. The poorest agreement was recorded for the patient's and the physician's perception of remission. The best agreement for patients' perception of remission was for a BASDAI < 2 and normal C-reactive protein values. This definition was also the most sensitive (S=72.7%) and specific (Sp=83.1%) when the patient's perception was taken as the gold standard., Conclusion: In a real-life setting, the evaluation of remission by the patient through a single question was the hardest criterion to achieve, although it did prove to be a feasible, valid, and specific way to assess remission., (Copyright © 2022 Société française de rhumatologie.

Abstract: Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating central nervous system disease infection by JC virus (JCV) in patients with a significant decline in cellular immunity. No specific treatment has demonstrated efficacy, and the disease progresses to death in most patients. Recent findings have shown stabilization or improvement of PML lesions after treatment with checkpoint inhibitors (CPI) based on immune reconstitution. Nevertheless, immunotherapy may specifically cause autoimmune diseases or may deteriorate pre-existing ones. We report a case of a patient under treatment for advanced ductal breast carcinoma and systemic sclerosis, who developed PML. The therapeutic approach included withdrawal of drugs with possible immunosuppressive effect and treatment with pembrolizumab. In the absence of reliable markers to predict CPIs response and a concern for an autoimmune worsening, immunotherapy was administered late in the course of the disease. Finally, she did not experience an autoimmune disease flare-up; however, pembrolizumab could not prevent disease progression. We believe that potential autoimmune complications should not delay treatment initiation with CPIs in PML., (© 2022. Journal of NeuroVirology, Inc.)

Abstract: Objective: To describe the cohort of patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (IRD) hospitalized due to SARS-CoV-2 infection in the Ramón y Cajal Hospital, and to determine the increased risk of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in patients with no IRD., Methods: This is a retrospective single-center observational study of patients with IRD actively monitored in the Department of Rheumatology who were hospitalized due to COVID-19., Results: Forty-one (1.8%) out of 2315 patients admitted due to severe SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia suffered from an IRD. The admission OR for patients with IRD was 1.91 against the general population, and it was considerably higher in patients with Sjögren syndrome, vasculitis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. Twenty-seven patients were receiving treatment for IRD with corticosteroids, 23 with conventional DMARDs, 12 with biologics (7 rituximab [RTX], 4 anti-tumor necrosis factor [anti-TNF], and 1 abatacept), and 1 with Janus kinase inhibitors. Ten deaths were registered among patients with IRD. A higher hospitalization rate and a higher number of deaths were observed in patients treated with RTX (OR 12.9) but not in patients treated with anti-TNF (OR 0.9)., Conclusion: Patients with IRD, especially autoimmune diseases and patients treated with RTX, may be at higher risk of severe pneumonia due to SARS-CoV-2 compared to the general population. More studies are needed to analyze this association further in order to help manage these patients during the pandemic., (Copyright © 2021 by the Journal of Rheumatology.)

Abstract: Background: Worldwide, smoking tobacco causes 7 million deaths annually, and this toll is expected to increase, especially in low-income and middle-income countries. In Latin America, smoking is a leading risk factor for death and disability, contributes to poverty, and imposes an economic burden on health systems. Despite being one of the most effective measures to reduce smoking, tobacco taxation is underused and cigarettes are more affordable in Latin America than in other regions. Our aim was to estimate the tobacco-attributable burden on mortality, disease incidence, quality of life lost, and medical costs in 12 Latin American countries, and the expected health and economic effects of increasing tobacco taxes., Methods: In this modelling study, we developed a Markov probabilistic microsimulation economic model of the natural history, medical costs, and quality-of-life losses associated with the most common tobacco-related diseases in 12 countries in Latin America. Data inputs were obtained through a literature review, vital statistics, and hospital databases from each country: Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Honduras, Mexico, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay. The main outcomes of the model are life-years, quality-adjusted life-years, disease events, hospitalisations, disease incidence, disease cost, and healthy years of life lost. We estimated direct medical costs for each tobacco-related disease included in the model using a common costing methodology for each country. The disease burden was estimated as the difference in disease events, deaths, and associated costs between the results predicted by the model for current smoking prevalence and a hypothetical cohort of people in each country who had never smoked. The model estimates the health and financial effects of a price increase of cigarettes through taxes, in terms of disease and health-care costs averted, and increased tax revenues., Findings: In the 12 Latin American countries analysed, we estimated that smoking is responsible for approximately 345 000 (12%) of the total 2 860 921 adult deaths, 2·21 million disease events, 8·77 million healthy years of life lost, and $26·9 billion in direct medical costs annually. Health-care costs attributable to smoking were estimated to represent 6·9% of the health budgets of these countries, equivalent to 0·6% of their gross domestic product. Tax revenues from cigarette sales cover 36·0% of the estimated health expenditures caused by smoking. We estimated that a 50% increase in cigarette price through taxation would avert more than 300 000 deaths, 1·3 million disease events, gain 9 million healthy life-years, and save $26·7 billion in health-care costs in the next 10 years, with a total economic benefit of $43·7 billion., Interpretation: Smoking represents a substantial health and economic burden in these 12 countries of Latin America. Tobacco tax increases could successfully avert deaths and disability, reduce health-care spending, and increase tax revenues, resulting in large net economic benefits., Funding: International Development Research Centre (IDRC), Canada., (Copyright © 2020 The Author(s).

37. High neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio and decreased CD69 + NK cells represent a phenotype of high risk in early-stage breast cancer patients.

Author: Mandó P, Rizzo M, Roberti MP, Juliá EP, Pampena MB, Pérez de la Puente C, Loza CM, Ponce C, Nadal J, Coló FA, Mordoh J, and Levy EM
Abstract: Purpose: Breast cancer (BC) is a highly heterogeneous disease presenting a broad range of clinical and molecular characteristics. In the past years, a growing body of evidence demonstrated that immune response plays a significant role in cancer outcome. However, immune prognostic markers are not completely validated in clinical practice in BC patients., Materials and Methods: With the aim to characterize immune features, several parameters were analyzed in peripheral blood at diagnosis of 85 nonmetastatic BC patients between April 2011 and July 2014., Results: With a median follow-up of 38.6 months, peripheral blood analysis of BC patients (stages I, II, and III) showed that total lymphocyte and T lymphocyte counts were augmented in nonrelapsed patients. Also, a higher neutrophil-to-lymphocytes ratio was associated with prolonged disease-free survival. Natural killer cell receptor analysis revealed that early activation receptor CD69 was associated with a better outcome., Conclusion: This preliminary evidence is in accordance with the concept of immune surveillance. We suggest an "immune phenotype" that provides relevant prognostic information in early-stage BC patients and which could be useful in the decision-making process., Competing Interests: Disclosure The authors report no conflicts of interest in this work.

Abstract: Objective: To evaluate the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) of the use of ticagrelor as a substitute for clopidogrel for secondary prevention of acute coronary syndrome in Chile., Study Design and Setting: Cost-effectiveness analysis based on a Markov model: Safety and effectiveness data of ticagrelor were obtained from a systematic review of the literature. Costs are expressed in Chilean pesos (CLP) as of 2013. The evaluation was conducted from the payer standpoint. A probabilistic sensitivity analysis comprising discount rates and national cost variability was done. A budget impact analysis estimated for 2015 was conducted to calculate the total cost for both treatments., Results: The ICER with a discount rate of 6% for ticagrelor vs. clopidogrel was CLP 4,893,126 per quality-adjusted life-year (QALY) gained (=9,689 US$). In the budget impact analysis for the baseline scenario, considering 100% of treatment, coverage, and adherence, ticagrelor represented an additional cost of CLP 5,233,854,272, for 979 QALYs gained compared with clopidogrel., Conclusions: Ticagrelor is cost-effective in comparison with clopidogrel for the secondary prevention of acute coronary syndrome. These findings are similar to those reported in other international cost-effectiveness studies., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.)

Abstract: Objective: Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) is a risk factor for ischemic stroke and systemic embolism. New oral anticoagulants are currently available. The objective of this study was to assess the incremental cost-utility ratio (ICUR) for apixaban vs. acenocoumarol in patients treated in Chile's public health system., Study Design and Setting: We assessed cost-utility from the payer perspective with a lifetime Markov model. Epidemiologic characteristics, costs, and utilities were obtained from a Chilean cohort; data were completed with information from international literature., Results: Incremental costs when using apixaban vs. acenocoumarol over a lifetime are CH$2,108,600 with an incremental effectiveness of 0.173 years of life gained (YLG) and 0.182 quality-adjusted life-year (QALY). The ICUR of apixaban vs. acenocoumarol was CH$12,188,439 per YLG and CH$11,585,714 per QALY. One to 3 times gross domestic product (GDP) per capita threshold is acceptable based on World Health Organization (WHO) norms. Chilean GDP per capita was CH$7,797,021 in 2013. The sensitivity analysis shows that these results are sensitive to the ischemic stroke risk with apixaban, and the intracranial hemorrhage risk due to the use of acenocoumarol., Conclusion: The use of apixaban in patients with NVAF in moderate-to-high risk of stroke is cost-effective, considering the payment threshold suggested by WHO., (Copyright © 2016 Elsevier Inc.

41. Análisis Costo Efectividad del Stent Farmacológico V/S Stent no Farmacológico en Cardiopatía Isquémica en Chile.

Author: De la Puente C, Vallejos C, Velásquez M, Soto D, and Orellana J
Abstract: Objective: To evaluate and compare the costs and effectiveness of two alternative stent, drug eluting stent (SF) and bare metal stent (SNF)., Material and Methods: Cost-utility analysis based on a Markov model using data from a cohort study of Hospital Las Higueras of Talcahuano, Chile. The effectiveness measure was the rate of restenosis and the time of restenosis. The effectiveness outcomes are expressed in quality-adjusted life years (QALY) gained. Costs are expressed in national currency 2011. The evaluation perspective was from the public heath budget. We model a cohort from age 63 to 80 years, life expectancy in Chile. Apply discount rate of 0, 3% and 6% for results and costs. Sensitivity analysis is performed according to the ranges of variability in costs, the utility values of the variables and transition between states., Results: No differences in restenosis rates between the two stents, although there were differences in the time of restenosis. The incremental cost effectiveness ratio (ICER) no discount rate was CH$ 235.749 per QALY gained when using drug-eluting stent, the value below the equivalent of 1 Gross Domestic Product (PIB) per capita for 2011 in Chile., Conclusions: The drug-eluting stent (SF) is cost effective compared to bare metal stent (SNF). The ICER is not affected by the sensitivity analysis (variability of cost, utility ranges used, probability of restenosis)., (Copyright © 2012 International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research (ISPOR).

Abstract: Objective: To present the results of a one-year retrospective study that analyzed the clinical and epidemiological aspects of urological emergencies, which is not a negligible percentage of all hospital emergencies., Methods: Data on all the urological emergencies of the emergency department of our hospital were collected during a one-year period by filling out a form that included sex, age, whether referred or not, disease, etc., Results: There were 1504 urological emergencies; the urologist was required in 458 of these cases (30.45%). There were more men (837) than women (667). Patient ages ranged from 1-101 years (mean 53 years); a higher incidence was found for those aged 65 years. By age groups, there were more patients aged 61-80 years (575 patients). Most of the patients came to the hospital on their own initiative (1114) and 390 had been referred by their primary care physician. Renal colic (670 cases) was the most common diagnosis in both males and females, followed by cystitis, which was prevalent in the females (67.35%). Other conditions seen were urinary retention, hematuria, etc., Conclusions: There was a higher prevalence of males that consulted for urological conditions at the emergency department and there was a higher incidence in patients in the 6th and 7th decades of life, which is similar to the findings reported in other studies. Renal colic was the main reason for consultation for both genders and for all age groups, except those younger than 20 who presented more scrotal and penile involvement. Infective conditions involving the lower urinary tract (cystitis) and pyelonephritis were prevalent in the females. The large number of patients that were discharged from the emergency department and who consulted on their own initiative shows their confidence in the emergency services and that they could have been attended to at other health centers and did not have to come and unnecessarily strain the hospital emergency services.

Abstract: Objective: Enterocytozoon bieneusi is the most prevalent microsporidian causing chronic diarrhea in patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The current methods used for routine diagnosis of infections caused by microsporidia are based on microscopic detection of the microorganism spores in stained smears. We evaluated the usefulness of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique as a tool to diagnose Enterocytozoon bieneusi infections, using the species-specific diagnostic primer pair EBIEF1/EBIER1 on stool samples that were also analyzed by optical microscopy., Design: To perform PCR in such samples, we developed a novel protocol to obtain DNA free of PCR inhibitors. This protocol was based on disruption of spores using glass beads and overnight digestion with proteinase K; final purification was accomplished with the RapidPrep Micro Genomic DNA isolation Kit for Cells and Tissues (Pharmacia Biotech Inc, Piscataway, NJ). We also evaluated this approach on aliquots of a sample fixed in formalin from 1 to 10 days. PATIENTS AND SAMPLES: We evaluated the PCR technique on 64 stool samples obtained from patients with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome who had persistent chronic diarrhea. Patients were from Spain, Brazil, Germany, and the United States., Results: Using this approach, we could confirm the presence of E bieneusi in all 17 positive samples; no false-positive results were observed. We could also amplify E bieneusi DNA in 10 aliquots of one sample fixed up to 10 days in 10% formalin., Conclusion: We conclude that PCR technology is very suitable for species identification of microsporidia in stool samples and may have a potential application in prospective studies in formalin-fixed samples.
