Abstract

Objective: To initial assess the efficacy and evaluation of the complications of TNF alpha inhibitor golimumab after 3; 6 and 12 months of treatment in ankylosing spondylitis patients. Subject and method: A prospective and interventional study of 12 months treatment in 15 patients with ankylosing spondylitis diagnosed with New York modified criteria 1984 from 01/2019 to 09/2020 in the Department of Rheumatology – 108 Military Central Hospital. The clinical outcome bases on BASDAI, ASDAS (VS), BASFI score; the adequate response was confirmed when the discrepancy between BASDAI after and before treatment ≥ 2, in comparison at T0 (before treatment), T3 (after treatment 3 months), T6 (after treatment 6 months), T12 (after treatment 12 months); the remission of disease is confirmed if BADAI< 3.8 or ASDAS < 2.1. Evaluate the complications of the administration. Statistical analysis: SPSS 20.0 software, significant statistic if p≤0.05. Result. The general characteristics of studied group: Male/Female ratio was 3/1, The average age was 33.2 ± 3.7 years old, the average time of disease was 4.2 ± 2.5 years, The proportion of patients with high disease activity was 88.9% (BASDAI ≥ 4) and 88.9% (ASDAS ≥ 2.1) at T0. At T3, there was 88,9% patients achieved remission according to BASDAI score. At the T6, there was 98.89% and 85.7% patients achieved remission arcording to BASDAI and ASDAS, respectively. At T12, there was 98.89% patients achieved remission according to both BASDAI and ASDAS score. There was 2/15 patients with urinary tract infection.
