Context: To our knowledge, no authors have assessed health-related quality of life (HR-QOL) in participants with functional ankle instability (FAI). Furthermore, the relationships between measures of ankle functional limitation and HR-QOL are unknown. Objective: To use the Short Form–36v2 Health Survey (SF-36) to compare HR-QOL in participants with or without FAI and to determine whether HR-QOL was related to functional limitation. Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: Sports medicine research laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: Sixty-eight participants with FAI (defined as at least 1 lateral ankle sprain and 1 episode of giveway per month) or without FAI were recruited (FAI group: n = 34, age = 25 ± 5 years, height = 1.71 ± 0.08 m, mass = 74.39 ± 12.78 kg, Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool score = 19.3 ± 4; uninjured [UI] group: n = 34, age = 23 ± 4 years, height = 1.69 ± 0.08 m, mass = 67.94 ± 11.27 kg, Cumberland Ankle Instability Tool score = 29.4 ± 1). Main Outcome Measure(s): All participants completed the SF-36 as a measure of HR-QOL and the Foot and Ankle Ability Measure (FAAM) and the FAAM Sport version (FAAMS) as assessments of functional limitation. To compare the FAI and UI groups, we calculated multiple analyses of variance followed by univariate tests. Additionally, we correlated the SF-36 summary component scale and domain scales with the FAAM and FAAMS scores. Results: Participants with FAI had lower scores on the SF-36 physical component summary (FAI = 54.4 ± 5.1, UI = 57.8 ± 3.7, P = .005), physical function domain scale (FAI = 54.5 ± 3.8, UI = 56.6 ± 1.2, P = .004), and bodily pain domain scale (FAI = 52.0 ± 6.7, UI = 58.5 ± 5.3, P < .005). Similarly, participants with FAI had lower scores on the FAAM (FAI = 93.7 ± 8.4, UI = 99.5 ± 1.4, P < .005) and FAAMS (FAI = 84.5 ± 8.4, UI = 99.8 ± 0.72, P < .005) than did the UI group. The FAAM score was correlated with the physical component summary scale (r = 0.42, P = .001) and the physical function domain scale (r = 0.61, P < .005). The FAAMS score was correlated with the physical function domain scale (r = 0.47, P < .005) and the vitality domain scale (r = 0.36, P = .002). Conclusions: Compared with UI participants, those with FAI had less HR-QOL and more functional limitations. Furthermore, positive correlations were found between HR-QOL and functional limitation measures. This suggests that ankle impairment may reduce overall HR-QOL.

Abstract Objective To assess interleukin 23 (IL-23) levels in the sera of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients and to determine the relationship of IL-23 with different disease activity indices, physical function and quality of life (QoL). Methods Fifty PsA patients and 46 matched healthy controls were included in this study. Data including a detailed history, a thorough clinical examination, skin severity based on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), the Disease Activity index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and the Composite Psoriatic Disease Activity Index (CPDAI) were obtained for all patients. Physical function was assessed by the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and health-related QoL was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Psoriatic Arthritis Quality of Life (PsAQoL) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) were also assessed. Serum IL-23 levels were measured in the studied groups. Results The study included 23(46%) females and 27 (54%) males with a mean age of 42.78±12.33 years. The mean serum IL-23 level was significantly higher in PsA patients (50.89±13.86 pg/ml) than in controls (43.88±6.34 pg/ml) (p=0.006). There were significant correlations between serum IL-23 levels and different grades of DAPSA activity (p=0.007) and PASI (p=0.015). No significant correlations could be detected between serum IL-23 levels and (HAQ-DI, DLQI, SF-36 or PsAQoL). CPDAI and DAPSA were significantly correlated with DLQI, SF-36 and PsAQoL. Conclusion IL-23 is a useful biomarker for identifying joint activity or skin severity but not QoL or physical function.

Objective.Evaluate enthesitis, physical function, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among patients with psoriatic arthritis (PsA) who are naive to anti–tumor necrosis factor agents.Methods.In PSUMMIT 1 and 2, patients with PsA were randomized to placebo or ustekinumab 45 mg or 90 mg. Enthesitis was assessed at weeks 0 and 24 (Maastricht Ankylosing Spondylitis Enthesitis Score). Assessments included Health Assessment Questionnaire–Disability Index (HAQ-DI), Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 (SF-36) physical component summary/mental component summary (PCS/MCS), and American College of Rheumatology 20 (ACR20).Results.At Week 24, 21 had worsened enthesitis, 158 had improved enthesitis, and 412 had unchanged enthesitis. Improved enthesitis was associated with improvements in HAQ-DI and SF-36 MCS. Results were similar for ACR20 responders and nonresponders.Conclusion.Improvement in enthesitis at Week 24 was associated with improvements in physical function/HRQOL regardless of ACR20 response.

Background:Fatigue is a prevalent and fundamental phenomenon in psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients. It often interferes with physical and social functions and may lead to social withdrawal, long-standing sick leave, disability and loss of work productivity. Fatigue is a prevalent symptom in patients with chronic rheumatic diseases. Cytokines as interleukin IL-23/17 play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of PsA.Objectives:To assess fatigue in PsA patients and determine its relation to serum IL 23 levels, disease activity, Skin severity, physical function and quality of life (QoL).Methods:Fifty PsA patients and 46 matched healthy controls were included in this study. Skin severity based on the Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI), the Disease Activity index for Psoriatic Arthritis (DAPSA) and the Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy (FACIT-F) were assessed. Physical function was assessed by the Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index (HAQ-DI) and health-related QoL was assessed using the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36), Psoriatic Arthritis QoL (PsAQoL) and the Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI). Serum IL-23 levels were measured in the studied groups.Results:The study included 23 (46%) females and 27 (54%) males with a mean age of 42.78±12.33 years. The mean serum IL-23 level was significantly higher in PsA patients (50.89 ±13.86 pg/ml) than in controls (43.88 ± 6.34 pg/ml) (p=0.006). The FACIT score ranged from 2-41. Severe fatigue (score <30) was reported in 27 (54%) PsA patients. There were significant correlations between FACIT-F and (DAPSA, PASI, HAQ-DI, PsAQoL, DLQI and SF-36). No significant correlations could be detected between FACIT-F and serum levels of IL-23 and CRP.Conclusion:Fatigue was a frequent complaint in PsA patients. There was a mutual negative impact between fatigue and each of PsA joint disease activity and physical function and it worsened the QoL. Fatigue was worsened with increased severity of skin PsO. Although serum level of IL-23 was significantly elevated in PsA patients than the controls, it wasn’t correlated with fatigue score. Hence IL-23 can’t be considered a biomarker for fatigue severity.References:[1]Chandran V, Bhella S, Schentag C, Gladman DD.

Background:Baricitinib (BARI) provided rapid and sustained improvements in patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) in patients (pts) with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and inadequate responses (IR) to methotrexate (MTX) (RA-BEAM;NCT01710358)1,2and biologic DMARDs (bDMARD-IR; RA-BEACON;NCT01721044)3,4.Objectives:To determine the number needed to treat (NNT) to report improvements ≥minimum clinically important differences (MCIDs) in multiple PROs at Week (Wk) 12 after treatment with BARI 4-mg in RA-BEAM and BARI 2-mg or BARI 4-mg in RA-BEACON. NNTs ≤10 vs placebo (PBO) are considered clinically meaningful.Methods:Evaluated PROs with respective MCID definitions included Patient Global Assessment of Disease Activity (PtGA, 0-100 mm visual analog scale [VAS], MCID ≥10 mm), pain (0-100 mm VAS, MCID ≥10 mm), physical function (Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index, MCID ≥0.22 points), fatigue (Functional Assessment of Chronic Illness Therapy-Fatigue [FACIT-F], MCID≥4.0), and health-related quality of life (SF-36 physical component summary [PCS: MCID ≥2.5] and domain scores: physical function [PF], role physical [RP], bodily pain [BP], general health [GH], vitality [VT], social functioning [SF], role emotional [RE], mental health [MH], MCID ≥5.0).5The percentages of pts reporting improvements ≥MCID were determined at Wk 12. NNTs were calculated as 1/difference in response rates between BARI 2-mg or 4-mg and PBO.Results:At Wk 12, percentages of pts reporting clinically meaningful improvements were greater and statistically different from PBO (p<0.01) with BARI 2-mg and 4-mg across most PROs in both RCTs. Most NNTs were ≤10. (Figure)Conclusion:Across different populations, MTX-IR and bDMARD-IR pts with active RA reported clinically meaningful improvements in PROs after BARI treatment. The NNTs in these analyses indicate that <10 pts need to be treated with BARI 2- or 4-mg to report a clinically meaningful benefit.References:[1]Taylor et al. NEJM, 2017;376: 652-62[2]Keystone et al.
