OBJECTIVES: To study long-term (up to 20-year) mortality of two treat-to-target trial cohorts in undifferentiated arthritis (UA) and early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
METHODS: The BeSt (BehandelStrategieën) study (n=508, early RA) was performed between 2000 and 2012. For 10 years, patients were treated-to-target disease activity score (DAS)≤2.4.The Induction therapy with Methotrexate and Prednisone in Rheumatoid Or Very Early arthritic Disease (IMPROVED) study (n=610, early RA/UA) was performed between 2007 and 2015. For 5 years, patients were treated-to-target DAS<1.6.Vital status of BeSt/IMPROVED participants was assessed up to and including 31 December 2021. Standardised mortality ratios (SMRs) were calculated. Stratified analyses for anticitrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) and smoking status were performed. Death causes and the potential effect of disease activity during the trial period on late mortality were assessed.
RESULTS: Excess mortality was found in both BeSt (SMR 1.32, 95% CI 1.14 to 1.53) and IMPROVED (SMR 1.33, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.63) and became manifest after 10 years. Excess mortality was statistically significant in ACPA+ patients who smoked (BeSt: SMR 2.80, 95% CI 2.16 to 3.64; IMPROVED: 2.14, 95% CI 1.33 to 3.45). Mean survival time was 10 (95% CI 5 to 16) months shorter than expected in BeSt and 13 (95% CI 11 to 16) months in IMPROVED. The HR for mortality was 1.34 (95% CI 0.96 to 1.86; BeSt)/1.13 (95% CI 0.67 to 1.91; IMPROVED) per 1 point increase in mean DAS during the trial. The main cause of death was malignancy.
CONCLUSIONS: After long-term treatment-to-target, excess mortality occurred in patients with RA after>10 years since treatment start, with smoking as an important risk factor.
