Objectives:To determine the incidence and risk factors implicated in the development of first cardiovascular (CV) event (CVE) in patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (CIRD) attending Spanish rheumatology clinics after 5 years of follow-upMethods:Analysis of data of patients included in an observational prospective study [CARdiovascular in rheuMAtology (CARMA) project] after 5 years of follow-up. The study includes a cohort of 2234 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and another cohort of matched individuals (n=677) without CIRD from 67 hospitals in Spain. Cumulative incidence per 1000 patients of CVE was estimated in both cohorts at 5 years from the start. Weibull proportional hazard model was used to calculate the Hazard Ratio (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) of the risk factors involved in the development of CV events. Losses to follow-up and their causes were also analyzed.Results:The total number patient who completed the follow-up visit at 5 years was 2.382 (81.9%). Fifteen patients died due to CVE and sixty due to non-CVE. The patients with CIRD showed higher cardiovascular cumulative incidence (40.5; 95% CI: 36.2-44.8) than controls (28.3; 95% CI: 21.8-34.8). The higher risk of developing a first CVE during the 5 years of follow-up was seen in patients with AS (HR: 4.60; 95% CI: 1.32-15.99; p=0.02), those with older age (HR:1.09; 95% CI: 1.05-1.13; p<0.001), higher systolic blood pressure (HR: 2.64; 95% CI: 1.32-5.25; p=0.006), and those with longer duration of the rheumatic disease (HR: 1.07; 95% CI: 1.03-1.12; p=0.002). In contrast, woman gender was a protective factor (HR: 0.45; 95% CI: 0.21-0.99; p=0.047).Conclusion:Patients with AS prospectively followed-up at rheumatology outpatient clinics showed higher risk of developing a first CVE than those without CIRD. Besides traditional CV disease risk factors, a longer time course of the disease is a risk factor for the development of CV disease in patients with CIRD.Acknowledgments:This project has been supported by an unrestricted grant from Abbvie, Spain.

Abstract Objectives To determine cardiovascular (CV) mortality and incidence of the first CV event (CVE) in patients with chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (CIRD) after 5 years of follow-up. Methods This is an analysis of the CARdiovascular in rheMAatology (CARMA) study after 5 years of follow-up. It includes patients with RA (n = 775), AS (n = 738) and PsA (n = 721), and individuals without CIRD (n = 677) attending outpatient rheumatology clinics from 67 public hospitals in Spain. Descriptive analyses were performed for the CV mortality at 5 years. The Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) function at 5 years was calculated to determine the expected risk of CV mortality. Poisson models were used to estimate the incidence rates of the first CVE. Hazard ratios of the risk factors involved in the development of the first CVE were evaluated using the Weibull proportional hazard model. Results Overall, 2382 subjects completed the follow-up visit at 5 years. Fifteen patients died due to CVE. CV deaths observed in the CIRD cohort were lower than that predicted by SCORE risk charts. The highest incidence rate of CVE [7.39 cases per 1000 person-years (95% CI 4.63, 11.18)] was found in PsA patients. However, after adjusting for age, sex and CV risk factors, AS was the inflammatory disease more commonly associated with CVE at 5 years [hazard ratio 4.60 (P =0.02)], compared with those without CIRD. Conclusions Cardiovascular mortality in patients with CIRD at 5 years of follow-up is lower than estimated. Patients with AS have a higher risk of developing a first CVE after 5 years of follow-up.
