Popis: Background:Clinical assessment of swollen joint count (SJC) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) might be affected by obesity in terms of obesity-related excess adipose tissue.Objectives:To compare the level of agreement between synovitis evaluated by Power Doppler ultrasound (PDUS) and clinical examination (SJC as component of SDAI) in obese (O) (i.e. Body Mass Index (BMI) >30) versus non-obese (NO) (BMI≤30) RA patients.Methods:RA patients ≥18 years fulfilling 2010 ACR-EULAR criteria were included in the cross-sectional multicentre (13 centres) French observational RABODI study (ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:NCT03004651). Clinical synovitis was evaluated on 44 joints. ESR and CRP were collected and SDAI, DAS28, DAS were calculated. A standard US examination on 44 joints was performed by an independent investigator blinded to clinical data. US synovitis was defined by a synovial hypertrophy ≥1 and PD signal≥1 on a semi-quantitative scale according to the EULAR-OMERACT scoring system. Levels of agreement between number of synovitis defined by PDUS and clinical examination were compared in O versus NO patients using Chi2 test, and Kappas (k) and ORs were calculated. A patient was considered “discordant” if ≥1 joint was discordantly classified by PDUS and clinical examination. SDAI was calculated and compared, with SJC defined either by clinical examination or PDUS.Results:121 patients were included: mean (SD) age of 58.5 (12.7) years, mean disease duration of 11.1 (9.7) years. 81% were female, 84.3% anti-CCP positive, 63.6% had erosive disease. Mean SDAI was 12.6 (±10.2). 53 (43.8%) had a BMI >30 and 68 (56.2%) ≤30. 59 (48.7%) and 62 (51.2%) had a SDAI≤11 and >11, respectively. The 2 groups were comparable, except for weight (mean (SD) 65.4 (13.5) vs 96.7 (14.7) kg, p< 0.001), some comorbidities (diabetes, asthma and fibromyalgia more frequent in O patients), tender joint count (mean 4.04 (±5.23) in NO vs 7.38 (±8.64) in O, p=0.021). Mean number of SJC was 2.4 (3.3), and PDUS 6.7 (±6.3). Levels of agreement between clinical and PDUS findings were comparable in O vs. NO patients regarding SDAI and other scores (Table). Patients with ≥3 discordant joints were numerically higher in O patients compared to NO (26/53 (49.1%) vs 22/68 (32.4%), p=0.062). At the joint level, discordance was higher in O patients in MCP4 (p=0.057), wrist (p=0.089).Table.Level of agreement between PDUS synovitis and SJC in obese versus normally weighted RA patientsScore with PDUS vs. SJCBMI ≤ 30N=68BMI > 30N=53OR(95%CI)P*SDAINon-Discordant (ND)63461.92(0.57-6.42)0.28Discordant (D)57Kappa0.850.73DAS28ND62471.32(0.4-4.35)0.64D66Kappa0.810.77DAS44ND63520.24(0.03-2.14)0.23D51Kappa0.830.96≥1 synovitisND51351.54(0.7-3.4)0.28D1718Kappa0.500.32Conclusion:In RA patients, despite a perceived higher difficulty to clinically detect SJ in O patients, the discrepancy between clinically- and PDUS defined synovitis was not significantly higher than in NO patients, and did not impact the extend of the definition of disease activity level.Disclosure of Interests:Gael Mouterde: None declared, Federico Manna: None declared, Benoit Le Goff: None declared, Jean-David Albert: None declared, Sandrine Jousse-Joulin: None declared, Frederique Gandjbakhch: None declared, Damien LOEUILLE: None declared, Philippe Gaudin Speakers bureau: Lilly, Muriel PIPERNO: None declared, BANAL Frédéric: None declared, Bénédicte Jamard: None declared, Carine Salliot: None declared, Nicolas Molinari: None declared, Bernard Combe Grant/research support from: Novartis, Pfizer, Roche-Chugai, Consultant of: AbbVie; Gilead Sciences, Inc.; Janssen; Eli Lilly and Company; Pfizer; Roche-Chugai; Sanofi, Speakers bureau: Bristol-Myers Squibb; Gilead Sciences, Inc.; Eli Lilly and Company; Merck Sharp & Dohme; Pfizer; Roche-Chugai; UCB, Maria-Antonietta D’Agostino: None declared, Cédric Lukas: None declared
