Resumen
Introducción

La prevalencia de la artritis indiferenciada en cohortes de artritis de reciente comienzo ha sido variable (23%–56%). Hasta el 54% de los pacientes entra espontáneamente en remisión, 30% evoluciona a artritis reumatoide u otra enfermedad articular inflamatoria definida y 20% continúa con artritis indiferenciada.

Objetivo

Describir las características clínicas y el comportamiento, en el tiempo, de la artritis indiferenciada en pacientes de dos centros de reumatología de Medellín, Colombia.

Material y métodos

Estudio descriptivo de corte transversal. Se revisaron las historias clínicas de los pacientes con diagnóstico de artritis indiferenciada, con al menos 6 meses de seguimiento, evaluados a mayo de 2011, en Reumatologya S.A. y Clínica Las Vegas. Se analizaron variables demográficas, clínicas y de laboratorio.

Resultados

Se incluyeron 61 historias clínicas. La afección fue monoarticular en el 36,1%, oligoarticular en el 27,9% y poliarticular en el 36,1%. En el 75,4% se estableció una enfermedad articular inflamatoria definida (26,2% artritis reumatoide, 16,4% artropatía por pirofosfato de calcio, 6,6% artropatía por cristales de urato monosódico, 6,6% espondiloartropatía seronegativa, 4,9% osteoartritis erosiva, y 14,5% otras).

Conclusiones

Durante el seguimiento, el 24,6% de los pacientes continuó con diagnóstico de artritis indiferenciada. La artritis se autolimitó en el 6,6% de los pacientes y en el 75,4% restante se estableció una enfermedad articular inflamatoria definida. Si bien el diseño y tamaño de la muestra del estudio son insuficientes para definir asociaciones estadísticamente significativas, los hallazgos aportan al conocimiento del comportamiento de la artritis indiferenciada en Colombia.

Summary
Introduction

The prevalence of undifferentiated inflammatory joint disease in cohorts of recent onset arthritis is variable (23%–56%). It has been observed that 54% goes into remission spontaneously 30% evolves to rheumatoid arthritis or other defined inflammatory joint disease and 20% continúes under the diagnosis of undifferentiated arthritis.

Objective

Describe the clinical characteristics and the behavior over time of patients with undifferentiated arthritis from two centers of rheumatology, Medellín, Colombia.

Materials and methods

Descriptive cross sectional study. We reviewed medical records of patients with diagnosis of undifferentiated arthritis followed for ≥ 6 months in Reumatologya S.A. and Clínica Las Vegas. Demographic, clinical and laboratory variables were analyzed.

Results

Sixty one medical records included. The involvement was monoarticular in 36.1%, oligoarticular in 27.9% and polyarticular in 36.1%. In 75.4%adefinite inflammatory joint disease was established (26.2% rheumatoid arthritis, 16.4% calcium pyrophosphate arthropathy, 6.6% monosodium urate crystals arthropathy, 6.6% seronegative spondyloarthropathy 4.9% erosive osteoarthritis and 14.5% others).

Conclusions

During follow-up, 24.6% of patients continued havinga diagnosis of undifferentiated arthritis. Arthritis was self-limited in a 6.6% of patients and in a 75.4% a definite inflammatory joint disease was established. Although the design and study sample size are insufficient to identify statistically significant associations, these findings contribute to understand the behavior of undifferentiated arthritis in Colombia.
