Abstract
BACKGROUND Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most prevalent systemic vasculitis in people older than 50 years. Any delay in diagnosis impairs patients' quality of life and can lead to permanent damage, particularly vision loss. OBJECTIVE To evaluate a diagnostic strategy for GCA using color Doppler ultrasound of the temporal artery as a first-line diagnostic test, temporal artery biopsy (TAB) as a secondary test, and physician expertise as the reference method. DESIGN Prospective multicenter study with a 2-year follow-up. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02703922). SETTING Patients were referred by their general practitioner or ophthalmologist to a physician with extensive experience in GCA diagnosis and management in one of the participating centers: 4 general and 2 university hospitals. PATIENTS 165 patients with high clinical suspicion of GCA, aged 79 years (IQR, 73 to 85 years). INTERVENTION The diagnostic procedure was ultrasound, performed less than 7 days after initiation of corticosteroid therapy. Only ultrasound-negative patients underwent TAB. MEASUREMENTS Bilateral temporal halo signs seen on ultrasound were considered positive. Ultrasound and TAB results were compared with physician-diagnosed GCA based on clinical findings and other imaging. RESULTS Diagnosis of GCA was confirmed in 44%, 17%, and 21% of patients by ultrasound, TAB, and clinical expertise and/or other imaging tests, respectively. Their diagnosis remained unchanged at 1 month, and 2 years for those with available follow-up data. An alternative diagnosis was made in 18% of patients. The proportion of ultrasound-positive patients among patients with a clinical GCA diagnosis was 54% (95% CI, 45% to 62%). LIMITATION Small sample size, no blinding of ultrasound and TAB results, lack of an objective gold-standard comparator, and single diagnostic strategy. CONCLUSION By using ultrasound of the temporal arteries as a first-line diagnostic tool in patients with high clinical suspicion of GCA, further diagnostic tests for patients with positive ultrasound were avoided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To identify factors associated with the progression of giant cell arteritis (GCA)-related or associated aortic dilations. METHODS In this retrospective study, 47 GCA patients with aortic dilation were longitudinally analyzed. Each patient underwent ≥2 imaging scans of the aorta during the follow-up. Three progression statuses of aortic dilations were distinguished: fast-progressive (FP) defined by a progression of the aortic diameter ≥5 mm/year or ≥1 cm/2 years, slow progressive (SP) by a progression of the aortic diameter >1 mm during the follow-up, and not progressive (NP) when aortic diameter remained stable. RESULTS Among the 47 patients with aortic dilation, the thoracic section was involved in 87 % of patients. Within a total follow-up of 89 [6-272] months, we identified 13 (28 %) patients with FP dilations, and 16 (34 %) and 18 (38 %) patients with SP and NP dilations, respectively. No differences regarding baseline characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors or treatments were observed among the 3 groups. However, FP patients more frequently showed atheromatous disease (p = 0.04), with a more frequent use of statins (p = 0.04) and antiplatelet agents (p = 0.02). Among the 27 (57 %) patients with aortitis, aortic dilation developed on an inflammatory segment in 23 (85 %). Among the FP patients who underwent aortic surgery with available histology (n = 3), all presented active vasculitis. CONCLUSION This study suggests that aortic inflammation, as well as atheromatous disease, might participate in the fast progression of aortic dilation in GCA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The objective of this study is to better characterize the features and outcomes of a large population of patients with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). METHODS We performed an observational retrospective multicenter cohort study in France. Patients who fulfilled at least one diagnostic criterion set for MCTD and none of the criteria for other differentiated CTD (dCTD) were included. RESULTS Three hundred and thirty patients (88% females, median [interquartile range] age of 35 years [26-45]) were included. The diagnostic criteria of Sharp or Kasukawa were met by 97.3% and 93.3% of patients, respectively. None met other classification criteria without fulfilling Sharp or Kasukawa criteria. After a median follow-up of 8 (3-14) years, 149 (45.2%) patients achieved remission, 92 (27.9%) had interstitial lung disease, 25 (7.6%) had pulmonary hypertension, and 18 (5.6%) died. Eighty-five (25.8%) patients progressed to a dCTD, mainly systemic sclerosis (15.8%) or systemic lupus erythematosus (10.6%). Median duration between diagnosis and progression to a dCTD was 5 (2-11) years. The presence at MCTD diagnosis of an abnormal pattern on nailfold capillaroscopy (odds ratio [OR] = 2.44, 95% confidence interval [95%CI] [1.11-5.58]) and parotid swelling (OR = 3.86, 95%CI [1.31-11.4]) were statistically associated with progression to a dCTD. Patients who did not progress to a dCTD were more likely to achieve remission at the last follow-up (51.8% vs. 25.9%). CONCLUSIONS This study shows that MCTD is a distinct entity that can be classified using either Kasukawa or Sharp criteria, and that only 25.8% of patients progress to a dCTD during follow-up.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Scalp, tongue and/or lip necrosis are rare complications of GCA. OBJECTIVES To describe characteristics and outcome of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA) -related scalp, tongue and/or lip necrosis. METHODS A retrospective nationwide multicenter study included 20 GCA patients with scalp, tongue, and/or lip necrosis diagnosed between 1998 and 2021 and 80 GCA control patients matched for age, sex and management period. Logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify baseline characteristics associated with scalp, tongue and/or lip necrosis. RESULTS Compared to controls, patients with scalp, tongue and/or lip necrosis showed significantly more cranial manifestations (headache, p=0.045; scalp tenderness, p=0.006; jaw claudication, p=0.02). No differences were observed between both groups regarding the occurrence of visual symptoms or large vessel involvement. At diagnosis, GCA patients with necrosis more likely received IV methylprednisolone infusions and higher doses of oral prednisone. There were no differences regarding vascular complications during follow up. Compared to controls, survival was decreased in GCA patients with necrosis (p=0.003). In a multivariable logistic regression model, scalp tenderness [odds ratio (OR) 4.81(95 % CI: 1.57, 14.79), p = 0.006] and cognitive disorder [OR 6.42 (95 % CI: 1.01, 40.60), p=0.048] were identified as factors associated to scalp, tongue, and/or lip necrosis. CONCLUSION Our results suggest that scalp, tongue, and/or lip necrosis is associated to higher mortality in GCA patients. Scalp tenderness and cognitive disorder were significant factors associated to this very rare complication of GCA.

Abstract
Introduction This study aimed to provide an updated analysis of the different prognostic trajectories of patients with anti-melanoma differentiation-associated gene 5 (MDA5) antibodies. Methods Among a cohort of 70 patients, baseline characteristics and phenotypes, treatments and outcomes were analyzed. A Cox proportional hazards model was used to identify factors associated with poor outcomes, i.e., death or progressive disease at the last follow-up. Results Among the 70 patients, 45 were women, and 54 were Caucasian. A dermatologic involvement was observed in 58 (83%) patients, including 40 with MDA5 vasculopathy-related skin lesions. Muscular involvement was observed in 39 (56%) patients. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) was observed at baseline in 52 (74%) patients, including 23 (44%) who developed rapidly progressive (RP) ILD. Seven (10%) patients showed thromboembolic complications within the first weeks of diagnosis, and eight (11%) other patients developed a malignancy (4 before the diagnosis of anti-MDA5 disease). Poor outcomes were observed in 28 (40%) patients, including 13 (19%) deaths. Among the 23 patients with RP-ILD, 19 (79%) showed poor outcomes, including 12 (63%) who died. In multivariate analyses, RP-ILD (hazard ratio (HR), 95% CI: 8.24 [3.21-22], p<0.0001), the occurrence of thromboembolic events (HR: 5.22 [1.61-14.77], p=0.008) and the presence of any malignancy (HR: 19.73 [6.67-60], p<0.0001) were the three factors independently associated with poor outcomes. Discussion This new independent cohort confirms the presence of different clinical phenotypes of anti-MDA5 diseases at baseline and the poor prognosis associated with RP-ILD. Thromboembolic events and malignancies were also identified as prognostic factors.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vascular phenotype is associated with a poor prognosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The identification of its risk factors could facilitate its early detection. OBJECTIVES To explore risk factors for a vascular phenotype of SSc, among them a history of pre-eclampsia. METHODS This observational multicentre case-control study enrolled adult women fulfilling European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology 2013 diagnosis criteria for SSc and having a pregnancy history≥6 months before SSc diagnosis in 14 French hospital-based recruiting centres from July 2020 to July 2022. Cases had specific vascular complications of SSc defined as history of digital ischaemic ulcers, pulmonary arterial hypertension, specific cardiac involvement or renal crisis. Women with SSc were included during their annual follow-up visit and filled in a self-administered questionnaire about pregnancy. A case report form was completed by their physician, reporting data on medical history, physical examination, clinical investigations and current medication. The main outcome was the presence/absence of a personal history of pre-eclampsia before SSc diagnosis, according to the validated pre-eclampsia questionnaire. RESULTS 378 women were included: 129 cases with a vascular phenotype and 249 matched controls. A history of pre-eclampsia was reported in 5 (3.9%) cases and 12 (4.8%) controls and was not associated with a vascular phenotype (OR=0.96, 95% CI 0.28 to 3.34, p=0.9). Besides, Rodnan skin score and disease duration≥5 years were risk factors for vascular phenotype. CONCLUSIONS In women with SSc and a pregnancy history≥6 months before SSc, a history of pre-eclampsia is not associated with a vascular phenotype.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Heart involvement is one of the leading causes of death in systemic sclerosis (SSc). The prevalence of SSc-related cardiac involvement is poorly known. Our objective was to investigate the prevalence and prognosis burden of different heart diseases in a nationwide cohort of patients with SSc. METHODS We used data from a multicentric prospective study using the French SSc national database. Focusing on SSc-related cardiac involvement, we aimed to determine its incidence and risk factors. RESULTS Over the 3528 patients with SSc 312 (10.9%) had SSc-related cardiac involvement at baseline. They tended to have a diffuse SSc subtype more frequently, more severe clinical features, and presented more cardiovascular risk factors. From the 1646 patients available for follow-up analysis, SSc-related cardiac involvement was associated with an increased risk of death. There was no significant difference in overall survival between SSc-related cardiac involvement, ischaemic heart disease or pulmonary arterial hypertension. Regarding survival analysis, 98 patients developed SSc-related cardiac involvement at five years (5-year event rate: 11.15%). Regarding reduced LVEF < 50% and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, the 5-year event rate was 2.49% and 5.84% respectively. Pericarditis cumulative incidence at five years was 3%. Diffuse SSc subtype was a risk factor for SSc-related cardiac involvement and pericarditis. Female sex was associated with less left ventricular diastolic dysfunction incidence. CONCLUSIONS Our results describe the incidence and prognostic burden of SSc-related cardiac involvement at a large scale, with gender and diffuse SSc subtype as risk factors. Further analyses should assess the potential impact of treatment on these various cardiac outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized the management of cancers. The risk factors and pathophysiological mechanisms of venous thromboembolic events (VTEs) of this new therapeutic class are still to be specified. METHODS The included patients had to have cancer and should be treated with ICI. Data analyzed included demographic data, biological data, and immune-related adverse events (IRAEs). We studied the prevalence of VTEs and the factors associated with VTEs. RESULTS Of 374 patients on ICI, over a median follow-up period of 15.2 months, the number of VTE was 50 (13.4%). The majority of patients were treated for metastatic melanoma or nonsmall cell lung cancer. There was no difference in prevalence or survival between cancer types. Patients with combined therapy composed of nivolumab and ipilimumab had higher 1-year cumulative VTE occurrence (29.3% [95% confidence interval [CI]: 9.7; 44.6]) than patients with pembrolizumab (14.9%, [95%CI: 2.5; 25.8], p = 0.03) or nivolumab (9.1%, [95% CI: 5.0; 12.9], p < 0.01). The presence of IRAE was associated with a higher risk of VTE occurrence compared with patients without any IRAE (1-year VTE cumulative incidence: 17.42% [95% CI: 9.5; 24.65] vs. 9.46% [95% CI: 5.18; 13.55], p = 0.04). There was a higher risk of VTE in patients treated with the combination of nivolumab and ipilimumab (adjusted subdistribution hazard ratio [SHR]: 3.71 [95% CI: 1.74; 7.90], p < 0.001) and in patients with IRAE (adjusted SHR: 2.14 [95% CI: 1.22; 3.75], p < 0.01). CONCLUSION The prevalence of VTE was 14.2% under ICIs. IRAE and combine treatment of nivolumab and ipilimumab were associated with VTE. The pathophysiological mechanisms are multiple and complex with a possible link to aberrant activation of the immune system.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a leading cause of death in MCTD. We aimed to describe PAH in well-characterized MCTD patients. METHODS MCTD patients enrolled in the French Pulmonary Hypertension Registry with a PAH diagnosis confirmed by right heart catheterization were included in the study and compared with matched controls: MCTD patients without PAH, SLE patients with PAH and SSc patients with PAH. Survival rates were estimated by the Kaplan-Meier method and risk factors for PAH in MCTD patients and risk factors for mortality in MCTD-PAH were sought using multivariate analyses. RESULTS Thirty-six patients with MCTD-PAH were included in the study. Comparison with MCTD patients without PAH and multivariate analysis revealed that pericarditis, polyarthritis, thrombocytopenia, interstitial lung disease (ILD) and anti-Sm antibodies were independent predictive factors of PAH/PH in MCTD. Estimated survival rates at 1, 5 and 10 years following PAH diagnosis were 83%, 67% and 56%, respectively. MCTD-PAH presentation and survival did not differ from SLE-PAH and SSc-PAH. Multivariate analysis revealed that tobacco exposure was an independent factor predictive of mortality in MCTD-PAH. CONCLUSION PAH is a rare and severe complication of MCTD associated with a 56% 10-year survival. We identified ILD, pericarditis, thrombocytopenia and anti-Sm antibodies as risk factors for PAH in MCTD and tobacco exposure as a predictor of mortality in MCTD-PAH.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Aortitis is a group of disorders characterized by the inflammation of the aorta. The large-vessel vasculitides are the most common causes of aortitis. Aortitis long-term outcomes are not well known. OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to assess the long-term outcome and prognosis of noninfectious surgical thoracic aortitis. METHODS This was a retrospective multicenter study of 5,666 patients with thoracic aorta surgery including 217 (3.8%) with noninfectious thoracic aortitis (118 clinically isolated aortitis, 57 giant cells arteritis, 21 Takayasu arteritis, and 21 with various systemic autoimmune disorders). Factors associated with vascular complications and a second vascular procedure were assessed by multivariable analysis. RESULTS Indications for aortic surgery were asymptomatic aneurysm with a critical size (n = 152 [70%]), aortic dissection (n = 28 [13%]), and symptomatic aortic aneurysm (n = 30 [14%]). The 10-year cumulative incidence of vascular complication and second vascular procedure was 82.1% (95% CI: 67.6%-90.6%), and 42.6% (95% CI: 28.4%-56.1%), respectively. Aortic arch aortitis (HR: 2.08; 95% CI: 1.26-3.44; P = 0.005) was independently associated with vascular complications. Descending thoracic aortitis (HR: 2.35; 95% CI: 1.11-4.96; P = 0.031) and aortic dissection (HR: 3.08; 95% CI: 1.61-5.90; P = 0.002) were independently associated with a second vascular procedure, while treatment with statins after aortitis diagnosis (HR: 0.47; 95% CI: 0.24-0.90; P = 0.028) decreased it. After a median follow-up of 3.9 years, 19 (16.1%) clinically isolated aortitis patients developed features of a systemic inflammatory disease and 35 (16%) patients had died. CONCLUSIONS This multicenter study shows that 82% of noninfectious surgical thoracic aortitis patients will experience a vascular complication within 10 years. We pointed out specific characteristics that identified those at highest risk for subsequent vascular complications and second vascular procedures.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The landscape of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) has substantially changed during the last decades. Recent data regarding causes, characteristics, and prognosis of systemic PAN in the modern era are lacking. METHODS This retrospective study included patients with systemic PAN referred to the French Vasculitis Study Group between 2005 and 2019. Characteristics, associated conditions and outcomes were collected, and predictors of relapse and death were analyzed. RESULTS 196 patients were included. Main clinical symptoms were constitutional (84%), neurological (59%), skin (58%) and musculoskeletal (58%) manifestations. Secondary PAN accounted for 55 (28%) patients, including myelodysplastic syndrome (9%), solid cancer (7%), lymphoma (4%) and autoinflammatory diseases (4%). No patient had active HBV infection. All treated patients (98.5%) received glucocorticoids (GCs), alone (41%) or in combination with immunosuppressants (59%), with remission achieved in 90%. Relapses were independently associated with age >65 years (HR 1.85; 95% CI1.12-3.08), gastrointestinal involvement (1.95; 95% CI1.09-3.52) and skin necrotic lesions (HR 1.95; 95%CI 1.24-3.05). One-, 5- and 10-year overall survival rates were 93%, 87% and 81%, respectively. In multivariate analyses, age >65 years (HR 2.80; 95%CI 1.23-6.37), necrotic purpura (HR 4.16; 95%CI 1.62-10.70), acute kidney injury (HR 4.89; 95% 1.71-13.99) and secondary PAN (HR 2.98; 95%CI 1.29-6.85) were independently associated with mortality. CONCLUSION Landscape of PAN has changed during the last decades, with the disappearance of HBV-PAN and the emergence of secondary PAN. Relapse rate remains high, especially in aged patients with gastrointestinal and cutaneous necrosis, as well as mortality.

Abstract
Gastrointestinal tract involvement in systemic sclerosis concerns more than 90% of patients but is of heterogeneous clinical expression. It can involve the entire intestinal tract and be responsible for multifactorial malnutrition, which is frequent in this disease. It is a major source of deterioration in the quality of life and can even be life-threatening. Management is complex and multidisciplinary, ranging from simple hygienic and dietary measures, to specialized endoscopic or surgical interventional procedures, also including medical treatments, particularly proton pump inhibitors and prokinetics, with potential side effects. Ongoing research for new diagnostic and therapeutic tools promises to improve the management and prognosis of these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Few studies have evaluated mouth opening (MO) in systemic sclerosis (SSc). None have studied MO trajectories. OBJECTIVE To study MO trajectories in SSc. METHODS This multicentre study included patients enrolled in the French national SSc cohort with at least one MO assessment, described patients based on MO baseline measure, modeled MO trajectories, and associated MO measures with SSc prognosis. RESULTS We included 1101 patients. Baseline MO was associated with disease severity. On Kaplan-Meier analysis, MO < 30 mm was associated with worse 30-year-survival (p<0.01) and risk of pulmonary arterial hypertension (p<0.05). Individual MO trajectories were heterogenous among patients. The best model of MO trajectories according to latent-process mixed modeling showed that 88.8% patients had a stable MO trajectory and clustered patients into 3 groups that predicted SSc survival (p<0.05) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) occurrence (p<0.05). The model highlighted a cluster of 9.5% patients with diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) (p<0.05) and high but decreasing MO over 1 year (p<0.0001) who were at increased risk of poor survival and ILD. CONCLUSION MO, which is a simple and reliable measure, could be used to predict disease severity and survival in SSc. Although MO remained stable in most SSc patients, dcSSc patients with high but decreasing MO were at risk of poor survival and ILD. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Prognosis data on giant-cell arteritis (GCA)-associated aortitis are scarce and heterogeneous. The aim of this study was to compare the relapses of patients with GCA-associated aortitis according to the presence of aortitis on CT-angiography (CTA) and/or on FDG-PET/CT. METHODS This multicenter study included GCA patients with aortitis at diagnosis; each case underwent both CTA and FDG-PET/CT at diagnosis. A centralized review of image was performed and identified patients with both CTA and FDG-PET/CT positive for aortitis (Ao-CTA+/PET+); patients with positive FDG-PET/CT but negative CTA for aortitis (Ao-CTA-/PET+), and patients solely positive on CTA. RESULTS Eighty-two patients were included with 62 (77%) of female sex. Mean age was 67±8 years; 64 patients (78%) were in the Ao-CTA+/PET+ group; 17 (22%) in the Ao-CTA-/PET+ group and 1 had aortitis only on CTA. Overall, 51 (62%) patients had at least one relapse during follow-up: 45/64 (70%) in the Ao-CTA+/PET+ group and 5/17 (29%) in the Ao-CTA-/PET+ group (log rank, p = 0.019). In multivariate analysis, aortitis on CTA (Hazard Ratio 2.90, p = 0.03) was associated with an increased risk of relapse. CONCLUSION Positivity of both CTA and FDG-PET/CT for GCA-related aortitis was associated with an increased risk of relapse. Aortic wall thickening on CTA was a risk factor of relapse compared with isolated aortic wall FDG uptake.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To describe the effectiveness and safety of biologics for the treatment of relapsing and/or refractory polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). METHODS A retrospective European collaborative study was conducted in patients with PAN who received biologics for relapsing and/or refractory disease. RESULTS Forty-two patients with PAN received a total of 53 biologic courses, including TNF-α blockers in 15 cases, rituximab (RTX) in 18 cases, tocilizumab (TCZ) in 10 cases and other biologics in 10 cases. TNF-α blockers and TCZ were mainly used for refractory diseases whereas RTX was mainly initiated for relapsing disease. After a median follow-up of 29 (8-50) months, remission, partial response, treatment failure and treatment discontinuation due to severe adverse events occurred in, respectively, 40%, 13%, 40% and 7% of patients receiving TNF-α blockers, 50%, none, 30% and 20% of TCZ recipients, and 33%, 11%, 56% and none of the RTX recipients. No remission was noted in patients treated with other biologics. Severe adverse events were observed in 14 (28%) patients without significant differences between the three biologics, leading to early biologics discontinuation in only three cases. CONCLUSION These results suggest that TCZ may be effective in relapsing and/or refractory PAN. Our data warrant further study to confirm these findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While myocardial impairment is a predictor of poor prognosis in antineutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitides (AAV), little is known about valvular involvement. This study aims at describing the clinical presentation, management, and outcome of endocarditis associated with AAV. METHODS We conducted a multicenter retrospective study in centers affiliated with the French Vasculitis Study Group. We included patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), or eosinophilic GPA with endocardial impairment. A systematic review was then performed through PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library from inception up to September 2020. RESULTS The retrospective cohort included 9 patients (82%) with GPA, 1 (9%) with MPA, and 1 (9%) with unclassified AAV. Clinical presentation included acute valvular insufficiency (n = 7, 64%), cardiac failure (n = 3, 27%), dyspnea (n = 3, 27%), and no symptoms (n = 2, 18%). The aortic valve was the most frequently affected (n = 8/10, 80%), and vegetations were noted in 4 of 10 patients (40%). Six patients (55%) underwent surgical valvular replacement. No death from endocarditis was reported. The systematic review retrieved 42 patients from 40 references: 30 (71%) had GPA, 21 (50%) presented with vegetations, the aortic valve (n = 26, 62%) was the most frequently involved. Valvular replacement was required in 20 cases (48%) and 5 patients (13%) died from the endocarditic impairment. CONCLUSION Endocarditis is a rare and potentially life-threatening manifestation of AAV. Acute valvular insufficiency may lead to urgent surgery. Implementing transthoracic echocardiography in standard assessment at baseline and follow-up of AAV might reduce the delay to diagnosis and allow earlier immunosuppressive treatment before surgery is needed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The systemic capillary leak syndrome (SCLS), also known as Clarkson disease, is a very rare condition characterized by recurrent life-threatening episodes of vascular hyperpermeability in the presence of a monoclonal gammopathy. Extended intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) treatment is associated with fewer recurrences and improved survival, but the optimal treatment dosage and duration remain unknown. OBJECTIVE We aim to evaluate the safety of IVIG tapering and withdrawal in patients with SCLS. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicenter study including all adult patients with monoclonal gammopathy-associated SCLS from the EurêClark registry who received at least 1 course of IVIG. The primary end point was overall survival according to IVIG withdrawal. RESULTS Fifty-nine patients of mean ± SD age 51 ± 13 years were included. Overall cumulative probabilities of 2-, 5-, 10- and 15-year survival were 100%, 85%, 72%, 44%, respectively. The IVIG was withdrawn at least once in 18 patients (31%; W+ group) and never in 41 patients (69%; W- group). Cumulative probabilities of 10-year survival in W+ versus W- groups were 50% and 83% (log rank test, P = .02), respectively. Relapse rate and the median number of relapses in the W+ versus the W- groups were 72% versus 58% (P = 0.3) and 2.5 (0.3-4) versus 1 (0-2) (P = .03), respectively. The IVIG tapering was not statistically associated with increased person-year incidence of attacks using a mixed linear model. CONCLUSIONS The IVIG withdrawal was associated with increased mortality and higher rate of recurrence in SCLS patients. The IVIG tapering might be cautiously considered in stable SCLS patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to describe clinical and biological characteristics and thrombotic relapses of patients diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) after the age of 65 years, in comparison with patients diagnosed with APS before 65. METHODS This retrospective multicenter study was performed to 2005 from 2017 and included patients diagnosed with APS after the age of 65 years, in accordance with Sydney criteria. We compared these patients with APS patients diagnosed before the age of 65 years, and with control thrombotic patients older than 65 years. RESULTS Fifty-eight APS patients over the age of 65 years were compared to 127 APS patients aged less than 65 and to 58 controls. In elderly APS versus younger APS, there was a male predominance (58.6% vs 36.2% p = .001); myocardial infarction and lower limb deep vein thrombosis (LLDVT) were more frequent in elderly, respectively, 12.1% versus 1.6% (p = .005), and 44.8% versus 29.9% (p = .048). Anticardiolipin antibody (aCL) IgM was more frequently found in old patients compared to younger patients (33.9% vs 18.1%, p = .02), contrary to lupus anticoagulant (LAC) (52.8% vs 66.9%, p = .02). Older patients were more often diagnosed with single positive APS (82.8% vs 59.8% p = .002). The thrombotic relapse free survival was lower in elderly APS patients (p = .044) compared to younger APS. Elderly APS patients had more recurrent arterial and venous thrombosis (p = .03) and had poorer overall survival (p = .004) than elderly controls. CONCLUSION In this study, APS was different in patients aged more than 65 years, with a male predominance and more myocardial infarctions and LLDVT at diagnosis. Single antiphopholipid positivity and aCL IgM were more frequent in older patients. Older patient with APS had more thrombotic recurrence during follow-up. Compared to elderly controls, elderly APS patients had more thrombosis recurrences and poorer survival.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Thoracic multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is essential for the detection of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc). Thoracic MDCT assessment can reveal the presence of thoracic lymphadenopathies (LAP) whose signification remains uncertain. The purpose of the study was to describe the characteristics and to assess the significance of thoracic LAP in patients with diffuse SSc.
Methods
We conducted a monocentric observational study on adult patients with diffuse SSc, and collected general patient and first thoracic MDCT characteristics, PET-CT and outcome data. Comparisons were made between patients with and without thoracic LAP.
Results
Forty-eight patients were included. There were 30 patients (62.5%) with an ILD and 23 (48%) with at least one thoracic LAP on the first MDCT assessment. Median number per patient of thoracic LAP was 3 [1–8], with a mean size of 11.7 ± 1.7 mm, mainly located in right para-tracheal area (22.8% of the total number of LAP), right hilar area (20.3%), left hilar area (6.5%), and sub-carinal area (15.2%). PET-CT showed lymph node hypermetabolism in 11/15 patients (73.3%) with mean SUVmax at 4 ± 1.3. There were significantly more males (p = 0.002) and more patients exposed to silica (p = 0.001) in patients with thoracic LAP. ILD was significantly more extended according to Goh score (p = 0.03), and using semi-quantitative score for mixed ground-glass reticulation (p = 0.01) and global abnormalities (p = 0.03) in patients with thoracic LAP and ILD. Thirteen patients (27.1%) died during follow-up without significant difference according to the presence or not of thoracic LAP (p = 0.15). There was also no significant difference concerning immunosuppressive treatment initiation (p = 0.17).
Conclusions
Thoracic LAP are common in diffuse SSc and are generally multiple, not bulky, moderately hypermetabolic, and located at the base of the mediastinum lymph node chains. Their presence correlates with the extent of ILD. In absence of ILD, thoracic LAP presence seems to be often explained by silica exposure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immune-mediated thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (iTTP) is a rare life-threatening thrombotic microangiopathy requiring urgent therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE). However, the exact impact of a slight delay in TPE initiation on the subsequent patients' outcome is still controversial. AIM We aimed to study the frequency, short-term neurological consequences, and determinants of diagnostic delay in iTTP. METHODS We conducted a retrospective monocentric study including patients with a first acute episode of iTTP (2005-2020) classified into 2 groups: delayed (>24h from first hospital visit, group 1) and immediate diagnosis (≤24h, group 2). RESULTS Among 42 evaluated patients, 38 were included. Eighteen cases (47%) had a delayed diagnosis (median: 5 days). The main misdiagnosis was immune thrombocytopenia (67%). The mortality rate was 5% (1 death in each group). Neurological events (stroke/TIA, seizure, altered mental status) occurred in 67% vs 30% patients in group 1 and 2, respectively (p = 0.04). Two patients in group 1 exhibited neurological sequelae. The hospital length of stay was longer in group 1 (p = 0.02). At the first hospital evaluation, potential alternative causes of thrombocytopenia were more prevalent in group 1 (33% vs 5%, p = 0.04). Anemia was less frequent in group 1 (67% vs 95%, p = 0.04). All patients had undetectable haptoglobin levels. By contrast, 26% of schistocytes counts were <1%, mostly in group 1 (62% vs 11%, p = 0.01). CONCLUSION Diagnostic delay is highly prevalent in iTTP, with a significant impact on short-term neurological outcome. In patients with profound thrombocytopenia, the thorough search for signs of incipient organ dysfunction, systematic hemolysis workup, and proper interpretation of schistocytes count are the key elements of early diagnosis of TTP.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a severe complication of connective tissue disease (CTD). Data on use of prostanoids in this particular subset of patients are lacking. We aimed to describe the characteristics of patients with PAH-CTD treated with prostanoids and the outcomes under treatment. METHODS In this multicenter retrospective study, all patients treated with prostanoids since 2006 were included. Data on PAH and CTD were collected at the time of prostanoid introduction and under treatment. RESULTS Twenty-one patients were included, of whom 20 (95%) had limited cutaneous systemic sclerosis. Nineteen patients were treated with oral monotherapy or combination before addition of prostanoid. Treprostinil was the most used molecule (57% of patients). At the time of prostanoid introduction, 90% of patients were considered at high risk for death. Among patients who had right heart catheterization during follow-up, there was no significant difference in haemodynamics. No extrarespiratory worsening of the CTD was reported. The 1-year survival under prostanoid was 62%. In univariate analysis, NYHA functional class was associated with survival under treatment. CONCLUSION This study provides original data on use of prostanoids in a cohort consisting mainly of systemic sclerosis. It underlines the difficulty to achieve a standardized assessment in this subset of patients. Safety profile was comparable with data reported in idiopathic PAH.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Association of IgA vasculitis (IgAV) and inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) is rarely described, mainly during anti-TNF-α therapy. We aimed to describe the association of IgAV and IBD. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed the association of IgAV and IBD through the implication of the GETAID and FVSG networks. Characteristics of IBD and IgAV were collected using a standardized case report form. RESULTS Forty-three cases were included. IBD (mainly Crohn's disease (CD) in 58%) preceded IgAV in 38 (88%), with median interval of 9.2 (IQR 5.4-15.4) years. In these 38 patients, at IgAV diagnosis, 5 (13%) had active IBD and 28 (74%) were treated with anti-TNF-α for a median duration of 31.5 (IQR 19-56) months. Main IgAV manifestations were purpura all patients (100%), joints in 20/35 (57%), renal in 15/35 (43%) and gastrointestinal in 11/35 (31%) involvement. IgAV was treated with glucocorticoids in 25 (66%), colchicine in 6 (16%), cyclophosphamide in 6 (16%), and anti-TNF-α were discontinued in 15/28 (54%). No IgAV relapse occurred when TNF-α blockers were stopped, vs 23% in patients pursuing it. Conversely, 5 (33%) had IBD flare or complication after anti-TNF-α cessation vs 1 (8%) in those continuing biologics. Anti-TNF-α were resumed in 6 (40%), with subsequent IgAV relapse in 4 (67%). CONCLUSIONS This large cohort suggests that TNF-α blockers may promote the onset of IgAV in IBD. Discontinuation of anti-TNF-α was associated with vasculitis remission but increased risk of IBD relapses, whereas continuation of anti-TNF-α was associated with IBD remission but vasculitis relapse.

Abstract
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a generalized disease of the connective tissue, arterioles, and microvessels, characterized by the appearance of fibrosis and vascular obliteration. There are two main phenotypical forms of SSc: a diffuse cutaneous form that extends towards the proximal region of the limbs and/or torso, and a limited cutaneous form where the cutaneous sclerosis only affects the extremities of the limbs (without passing beyond the elbows and knees). There also exists in less than 10% of cases forms that never involve the skin. This is called SSc sine scleroderma. The prognosis depends essentially on the occurrence of visceral damage and more particularly interstitial lung disease (which is sometimes severe), pulmonary arterial hypertension, or primary cardiac damage, which represent the three commonest causes of mortality in SSc. Another type of involvement with poor prognosis, scleroderma renal crisis, is rare (less than 5% of cases). Cutaneous extension is also an important parameter, with the diffuse cutaneous forms having less favorable prognosis.

METHODS We performed a retrospective multicenter study of 353 patients (median age at diagnosis was 62 [IQR 46-71] yrs and 242 [68.6%] patients were women) with noninfectious aortitis. Factors associated with vascular complications were assessed in multivariate analysis. RESULTS We included 136 patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA), 96 with Takayasu arteritis (TA), 73 with clinically isolated aortitis (CIA), and 48 with aortitis secondary to inflammatory diseases (including Behçet disease, relapsing polychondritis, IgG4-related disease, Cogan syndrome, ankylosing spondylitis). After a median follow-up of 52 months, vascular complications were observed in 32.3%, revascularizations in 30% of patients, and death in 7.6%. The 5-year cumulative incidence of vascular complications was 58% (95% CI 41-71), 20% (95% CI 13-29), and 19% (95% CI 11-28) in CIA, GCA, and TA, respectively. In multivariate analysis, male sex (HR 2.10, 95% CI 1.45-3.05, P < 0.0001) and CIA (HR 1.76, 95% CI 1.11-2.81, P = 0.02) were independently associated with vascular complications. CONCLUSION Noninfectious aortitis accounts for significant morbidity and mortality. CIA seems to carry the highest rate of vascular complications.

Abstract
Aims To identify factors associated with vascular events in patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA). Methods We performed a retrospective study of GCA patients diagnosed over a 20-year-period, who all underwent vascular imaging evaluation at diagnosis. Symptomatic vascular events were defined as the occurrence of any aortic event (aortic dissection or symptomatic aortic aneurysm), stroke, myocardial infarction, limb or mesenteric ischemia and de novo lower limbs arteritis stage 3 or 4. Patients with symptomatic vascular event (VE+) and without were compared, and risk factors were identified in a multivariable analysis. Results Thirty-nine (15.4%) of the 254 included patients experienced at least one symptomatic vascular event during follow-up, with a median time of 21.5 months. Arterial hypertension, diabetes, lower limbs arteritis or vascular complication at diagnosis were more frequent in VE+ patients (p < 0.05), as an abnormal computed tomography (CT)-scan at diagnosis (p = 0.04), aortitis (p = 0.01), particularly of the descending thoracic aorta (p = 0.03) and atheroma (p = 0.03). Deaths were more frequent in the VE+ group (37.1 versus 10.3%, p = 0.0003). In multivariable analysis, aortic surgery [hazard ratio (HR): 10.46 (1.41-77.80), p = 0.02], stroke [HR: 22.32 (3.69-135.05), p < 0.001], upper limb ischemia [HR: 20.27 (2.05-200.12), p = 0.01], lower limb ischemia [HR: 76.57 (2.89-2027.69), p = 0.009], aortic atheroma [HR: 3.06 (1.06-8.82), p = 0.04] and aortitis of the descending thoracic aorta on CT-scan at diagnosis [HR: 4.64 (1.56-13.75), p = 0.006] were independent predictive factors of a vascular event. Conclusion In this study on GCA cases with large vessels imaging at diagnosis, aortic surgery, stroke, upper or lower limb ischemia, aortic atheroma and aortitis of the descending thoracic aorta on CT-scan, at GCA diagnosis, were independent predictive factors of a vascular event. Plain language summary Risk factors for symptomatic vascular events in giant cell arteritisThis study was performed to identify the risk factors for developing symptomatic vascular event during giant cell arteritis (GCA) because these are poorly known.We performed a retrospective study of GCA patients diagnosed over a 20-year-period, who all underwent vascular imaging evaluation at diagnosis.Patients with symptomatic vascular event (VE+) and without (VE-) were compared, and risk factors were identified in a multivariable analysis.Thirty-nine patients experienced at least one symptomatic vascular event during follow-up, with a median time of 21.5 months.Arterial hypertension, diabetes, lower limbs arteritis or vascular complication at diagnosis were significantly more frequent in VE+ patients, as an abnormal CT-scan at diagnosis, aortitis, particularly of the descending thoracic aorta and atheroma. Deaths were more frequent in the VE+ group.Among 254 GCA patients, 39 experienced at least one vascular event during follow-up.Aortic surgery, stroke, upper and lower limb ischemia were vascular event risk factors.Aortic atheroma and descending thoracic aorta aortitis on CT-scan were vascular event risk factors.This study on GCA cases with large vessels imaging at diagnosis, showed that aortic surgery, stroke, upper or lower limb ischemia, aortic atheroma and aortitis of the descending thoracic aorta on CT-scan, at GCA diagnosis, were independent predictive factors of a vascular event.

Abstract
Upper extremity digital ischaemia (UEDI) is a rare heterogeneous condition whose frequency is 40 times less than that of toe ischaemia. Using a large cohort, the aim of this study was to evaluate aetiologies, prognosis and midterm clinical outcomes of UEDI.All patients with UEDI with or without cutaneous necrosis in a university hospital setting between January 2000 to December 2016 were included. Aetiologies, recurrence of UEDI, digital amputation and survival were analyzed retrospectively.Three hundred twenty three patients were included. UEDI due to cardio-embolic disease (DICE) was the highest occurring aetiology with 59 patients (18.3%), followed by DI due to Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) (16.1%), idiopathic causes (11.7%), Thromboangiitis obliterans (TAO) (9.3%), iatrogenic causes (9.3%), and cancer (6.2%). DICE patients tended to be older and featured more cases with arterial hypertension whereas TAO patients smoked more tobacco and cannabis. During follow-up, recurrences were significantly more frequent in SSc than in all other tested groups (P < .0001 vs idiopathic and DICE, P = .003 vs TAO) and among TAO patients when compared to DICE patients (P = .005). The cumulated rate of digital amputation was higher in the SSc group (n = 18) (P = .02) and the TAO group (n = 7) (P = .03) than in DICE (n = 2).This retrospective study suggests that main aetiologies of UEDI are DICE, SSc and idiopathic. This study highlights higher frequency of iatrogenic UEDI than previous studies. UEDI associated with SSc has a poor local prognosis (amputations and recurrences) and DICE a poor survival. UEDI with SSc and TAO are frequently recurrent.

Abstract
Background: Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common systemic vasculitis. Relapses are frequent. The aim of this study was to identify relapse risk factors in patients with GCA with complete large-vessel imaging at diagnosis. Methods: Patients with GCA followed in our institution between April 1998 and April 2018 were included retrospectively. We included only patients who had undergone large vascular imaging investigations at diagnosis by computed tomography (CT)-scan and/or positron emission tomography (PET)-scan and/or angio-magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Clinical, biological, and radiological data were collected. Relapse was defined as the reappearance of GCA symptoms, with concomitant increase in inflammatory markers, requiring treatment adjustment. Relapsing patients (R) and non-relapsing patients (NR) were compared. Relapse and multiple relapses (>2) risk factors were identified in multivariable Cox analyses. Results: This study included 254 patients (73.2% women), with a median age of 72 years at diagnosis and a median follow up of 32.5 months. At diagnosis, 160 patients (63%) had an inflammatory large-vessel involvement on imaging, 46.1% (117 patients) relapsed at least once, and 21.3% (54 patients) had multiple relapses. The median delay of first relapse after diagnosis was 9 months. The second relapse delay was 21.5 months. NR patients had more stroke at diagnosis than R (p = 0.03) and the brachiocephalic trunk was involved more frequently on CT-scan (p = 0.046), as carotids (p = 0.02) in R patients. Multivariate Cox model identified male gender [hazard ratio (HR): 0.51, confidence interval (CI) (0.27–0.96), p = 0.04] as a relapse protective factor, and peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations [HR: 1.74 (1.03–2.94), p = 0.004] as a relapse risk factor. Peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations [HR: 2.78 (1.23–6.28), p = 0.014], negative temporal artery biopsy [HR: 2.29 (1.18–4.45), p = 0.015], large-vessel involvement like upper limb ischemia [HR: 8.84 (2.48–31.56), p = 0.001] and inflammation of arm arteries on CT-scan [HR: 2.39 (1.02–5.58), p = 0.04] at diagnosis were risk factors of multiple relapses. Conclusion: Male gender was a protective factor for GCA relapse and peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations appeared as a relapsing risk factor. Moreover, this study identified a particular clinical phenotype of multi-relapsing patients with GCA, characterized by peripheral musculoskeletal manifestations, negative temporal artery biopsy, and large-vessel involvement with upper limb ischemia or inflammation of arm arteries. Plain language Summary At giant cell arteritis diagnosis, large-vessel inflammatory involvement is predictive of multiple relapses

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to examine the sensitivity of muscle biopsy (MB) in ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), identify factors predicting MB positivity and assess the prognostic value of a positive MB. METHODS We conducted a single-centre retrospective study of AAV with an MB performed at diagnosis. AAV classification [granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA), eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA)] followed the European Medicines Agency algorithm. A logistic regression model was used to identify the factors associated with MB positivity. Survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS Among 276 AAV patients (1995-2018), 101 had an MB. Seventy-eight patients were included: 33 with GPA, 25 with MPA and 20 with EGPA. MB samples were positive in 45 cases (58%): 17 GPA, 16 MPA and 12 EGPA. Univariate analysis focussed on GPA and MPA, revealed that the MB yield was higher in females [22/31 (71%) vs 11/27 (41%); P = 0.02] and in anti-MPO patients [25/37 (68%) vs 6/19 (32%) for anti-PR3; P = 0.01]. By multivariate analysis, three factors predicted MB positivity: anti-MPO ANCA [odds ratio (OR) 10.67 (CI 2.09, 81.68)], female sex [OR 5.3 (CI 1.16, 32.35)] and neutrophil count [OR 1.33 (CI 1.07, 1.8)]. MB positivity had no impact on relapse, death or end-stage renal disease-free survival. CONCLUSIONS MB is a safe and efficient diagnostic tool for AAV. Predictors of MB yield include ANCA type, sex and neutrophil count. MB cannot substitute for kidney biopsy when indicated, but should be considered in other cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic small-vessel vasculitis characterized by asthma, hypereosinophilia and ANCA positivity in 40% of patients. Renal involvement is rare and poorly described, leading to this renal biopsy-proven based study in a large EGPA cohort. METHODS We conducted a retrospective multicentre study including patients fulfilling the 1990 ACR criteria and/or the 2012 revised Chapel Hill Consensus Conference criteria for EGPA and/or the modified criteria of the MIRRA trial, with biopsy-proven nephropathy. RESULTS Sixty-three patients [27 women, median age 60 years (18-83)] were included. Renal disease was present at vasculitis diagnosis in 54 patients (86%). ANCA were positive in 53 cases (84%) with anti-MPO specificity in 44 (83%). All patients had late-onset asthma. Peripheral neuropathy was present in 29 cases (46%), alveolar haemorrhage in 10 (16%). The most common renal presentation was acute renal failure (75%). Renal biopsy revealed pauci-immune necrotizing GN in 49 cases (78%). Membranous nephropathy (10%) and membranoproliferative GN (3%) were mostly observed in ANCA-negative patients. Pure acute interstitial nephritis was found in six cases (10%); important interstitial inflammation was observed in 28 (44%). All patients received steroids with adjunctive immunosuppression in 54 cases (86%). After a median follow-up of 51 months (1-296), 58 patients (92%) were alive, nine (14%) were on chronic dialysis and two (3%) had undergone kidney transplantation. CONCLUSION Necrotizing pauci-immune GN is the most common renal presentation in ANCA-positive EGPA. ANCA-negative patients had frequent atypical renal presentation with other glomerulopathies such as membranous nephropathy. An important eosinophilic interstitial infiltration was observed in almost 50% of cases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a large vessel vasculitis for which triggering factors remain unknown. Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) was associated with atherosclerosis through the induction of inflammation in myeloid cells, and data suggest that CH expansion and inflammation may support each other to induce a proinflammatory loop. Our objective was to describe the impact of JAK2p.V617F-mutated myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) on GCA and to screen MPN-free patients for CH mutations. METHODS We performed a retrospective case-control study comparing characteristics of 21 GCA patients with MPN and 42 age and gender-matched GCA patients without MPN. Also, 18 GCA patients were screened for CH through Next Generation Sequencing. RESULTS The most frequent associated MPN was essential thrombocythemia (ET) (n = 11). Compared to controls, GCA patients with MPN had less frequent cephalic symptoms (71.4 vs. 97.6%, p = 0.004) and higher platelets count at baseline [485 (346-586) vs. 346 [IQR 296-418] x 109/L, p = 0.02). There was no difference between groups for other clinical features. Overall survival was significantly shorter in patients with MPN compared to controls [HR 8.2 (95% CI 1.2-56.6), p = 0.03]. Finally, screening for CH using NGS in 15 GCA patients without MPN revealed CH in 33%. CONCLUSION GCA patients with MPN display higher platelets count and shorter overall survival than controls. This association could not be fortuitous given the possible pathophysiological relationship between the two diseases. CH was found in one third of GCA patients, which may be higher than the expected prevalence for similar age, what should be confirmed in a larger cohort.

Abstract
Background Gamma heavy chain disease (γ-HCD) is a monoclonal gammopathy defined by an abnormal clonal and isolated production of incomplete heavy chain gamma (γ), unable to bind with light chains kappa or lambda. This disease is rare and remains poorly described. Its association to lymphoid neoplasm is well established, but exceptional forms of γ-HCD may also accompany auto-immune diseases. We report here a new case of γ-HCD characterized by an indolent course with a 4-year follow-up, and its association with quiescent rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Case presentation We report the case of a 85-year old French white man followed for quiescent anti-CCP+ rheumatoid arthritis treated by prednisolone 4 mg/day and hydroxychloroquine 200 mg/day since 10 years, and a monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance for 6 years, who was hospitalized for costal fractures after a fall. Serum protein electrophoresis showed a stable small monoclonal peak, and capillary electrophoresis/immunosubtraction technique identified an isolated clonal γ-heavy chain (HC). Bone marrow aspiration was normal and he had no other lymphoproliferation. The monoclonal peak remained stable after 4 years of follow-up. Conclusions In case of monoclonal peak without complete monoclonal Ig on serum protein electrophoresis, the diagnosis of γ-HCD should be discussed and capillary electrophoresis/immune-subtraction is a mean to detect isolated monoclonal heavy chain (HC). Gamma-HC disease is rare, may be associated to RA, and may have an indolent course.

Abstract
PURPOSE To describe characteristics and outcomes of patients with giant cell arteritis (GCA)-related aortic dissection. PATIENTS AND METHODS We retrospectively included, through a nationwide GCA network, all patients who had an aortic dissection either revealing GCA or occurring during follow-up. RESULTS A total of 46 patients were included in this study. Aortic dissection was inaugural and led to GCA diagnosis in 21 patients, whereas it occurred during follow-up in the 25 others, at a median of 53 [1-265] months after GCA diagnosis. Large-vessel vasculitis (LVV) was diagnosed through imaging before or at the time of aortic dissection in 31 (67%) patients. In patients who developed an aortic dissection during follow-up, the aortic event occurred 22 [1-143] months post GCA diagnosis in the patients with previous aortitis, whereas it occurred after 72 [19-265] months in patients without previously diagnosed aortitis (p = 0.005). Aortic surgery was performed in 27 (59%) patients and 23 of them survived. A total of 15 (32%) patients died following the aortic dissection, including 11 who were not operated on. In a multivariate analysis, aortic surgery was the single predictor of survival (HR: 4.3; 95% CI: 1.47- 15.7; p = 0.007). CONCLUSION Patients with prior LVV are more prone to develop early aortic dissection and require close monitoring of aortic morphology. One third of patients died from the aortic dissection. Surgery remains the best predictive factor for survival.

Abstract
Background Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is frequently associated with aortic involvement that is likely to cause life-threatening structural complications (aneurysm, dissection). Few studies have investigated the occurrence of these complications, and no predictive factor has been identified so far. The aim of this study was to investigate factors associated with the risk of aortic complications in a cohort of GCA aortitis. Methods Data of all patients managed with aortitis (CT or 18 FDG PET) at the diagnosis of GCA in five hospitals from May 1998 and April 2019 were retrospectively collected. Clinical features were compared according to the presence of aortitis symptoms. The predictive factors of occurrence or aggravation of aortic structural abnormalities were investigated. Results One hundred and seventy-one patients with GCA aortitis were included; 55 patients (32%) had symptoms of aortitis (dorsal/lumbar/abdominal pain, aortic insufficiency) at diagnosis. The median follow-up was 38 months. Aortic complications occurred after a median time of 32 months. There were 19 new aortic aneurysms or complications of aneurysm and 5 dissections. Survival without aortic complication was significantly different between the symptomatic and non-symptomatic groups (Log rank, p = 0.0003). In multivariate analysis the presence of aortitis symptoms at diagnosis (HR 6.64 [1.95, 22.6] p = 0.002) and GCA relapse (HR 3.62 [1.2, 10.9] p = 0.02) were factors associated with the occurrence of aortic complications. Conclusion In this study, the presence of aortitis symptoms at the diagnosis of GCA aortitis and GCA relapse were independent predictive factors of occurrence of aortic complications during follow-up.
