摘要
Purpose of review To discuss changes in epidemiology, recent advances in understanding of the pathogenesis and management of selected extraarticular manifestations of rheumatoid arthritis (ExRA). Recent findings The incidence of ExRA overall and subcutaneous rheumatoid nodules in particular is declining after 2000. These trends reflect improved RA disease activity with early effective immunosuppressive treatments; changing environmental risk factors can be contributing. ExRA continues to carry a two-fold increased mortality risk. RA-associated interstitial lung disease (RA-ILD) is a major contributor to mortality, with no decline in incidence and scant therapeutic options. Individualized risk stratification for RA-ILD based on patient-level risk factors and biomarker profile is evolving with MUC5B as a major genetic risk factor. Clinical trials are underway to evaluate the benefits of novel antifibrotic therapies and targeted therapies for RA-ILD. The risk of cardiovascular disease in RA is generally amendable to treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, although cardiovascular risk associated with JAK inhibition is not fully understood. Summary Despite reduction in incidence of ExRA overall, the incidence of RA-ILD shows no significant decline and remains a major therapeutic challenge. The use of novel antifibrotics and immunosuppressive drugs shows promise in slowing the progression of RA-ILD.
