| الوصف: | Background:Depression is a common comorbidity in patients with RA and influences perception of disease activity and quality of life. We have previously reported that mean depression scores improved during TCZ therapy in conjunction with reductions in disease activity.1Objectives:To evaluate individual changes in depressive symptoms over 52 weeks in RA patients initiating treatment with TCZ.Methods:We analyzed data from a large German multicenter observational study of patients with active RA who initiated TCZ therapy during routine clinical care (ML29087 ARATA study;NCT02251860). The Beck Depression Inventory-II (BDI-II), a self-report questionnaire for depression screening that has been validated in RA, was used to assess symptoms of depression. Patients were classified by baseline BDI-II scores into depression categories of no (BDI-II2Individual changes in BDI-II scores between baseline and week 52 were assessed. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate was used as the acute phase reactant in Disease Activity Score-28 joints (DAS28) assessments.Results:Of 1155 patients enrolled from 108 clinical centers in Germany between May 2014 and July 2018, 474 completed the BDI-II at baseline (BDI-II cohort); baseline characteristics were similar to those of patients who did not complete the BDI-II. Approximately half of patients in the BDI-II cohort had BDI-II scores indicating no depression (248; 52.3%); the remaining patients had mild (87; 18.4%), moderate (84; 17.7%), or severe (55; 11.6%) depression. The mean (SD) baseline characteristics of the BDI-II cohort were 55.5 (12.5) yrs of age, 75.7% female, 10.6 (9.2) yrs RA duration, 4.9 (1.2) DAS28, and 24.3 (10.2) Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI). Baseline DAS28 and CDAI scores were similar among different depression subgroups, but patients with severe depression were more likely to be female (87.3% vs 70.6% for no depression) and had higher levels of anxiety, suicidal ideation, fatigue, pain, and sleep disturbance than patients with no or milder depression.A total of 229 of the 474 patients (48.3%) in the BDI-II cohort completed the BDI-II at both baseline and week 52. At 52 weeks, the depression category of approximately half of patients with depressive symptoms at baseline changed to a lower level or no depression (Figure 1). Moderate to large improvements in BDI-II from baseline (>10 points) were reported by 33.3% to 38.5% of patients with baseline depressive symptoms (Figure 2).Conclusion:At 52 weeks after initiating TCZ, the depressive disease burden was reduced. Future analyses with a representative patient cohort will be aimed at exploring whether improvements in depression occur independent of reductions in disease activity.References:[1]Behrens F et al.Arthritis Rheumatol2019;71(suppl 10):abstr1414.[2]Smarr KL, Keefer AL.Arthritis Care Res2011;63(S11):S454-66.Acknowledgments:This study was sponsored by Chugai Pharma Germany GmbH and Roche Pharma AG.
