Resumen Objetivos: comparar el riesgo cardiovascular, la calidad de vida, la depresión y la funcionalidad entre pacientes con artritis reumatoide (AR) seronegativa y artritis psoriásica (APs) poliarticular. Materiales y métodos: se analizaron datos de 45 pacientes con AR seronegativa y 36 con APs poliarticular. Se utilizaron cuestionarios para depresión (CES-D), funcionalidad (Health Assessment Questionnaire, HAQ) y calidad de vida (SF-12). Se midió el espesor íntima-media carotídea (cIMT) para valorar el riesgo cardiovascular. Resultados: las frecuencias de hipertensión, diabetes y dislipidemia fueron similares entre ambos grupos. Los pacientes con APs tuvieron un índice de masa corporal (IMC) y una circunferencia abdominal más elevados. El cIMT fue equivalente entre los grupos. La depresión y la calidad de vida no mostraron diferencias significativas. Los pacientes con AR presentaron peor funcionalidad según el HAQ. Conclusiones: en nuestra serie los pacientes con AR y APs seronegativos tuvieron similitudes en calidad de vida, depresión y riesgo cardiovascular, excepto por diferencias en el IMC y la circunferencia abdominal, más elevados en APs. La funcionalidad fue peor en AR en comparación con APs.

Abstract Objectives: the study compared seronegative RA and polyarticular psoriatic arthritis (APs) in terms of cardiovascular risk, quality of life, depression, and functionality. Materials and methods: data from 45 patients with seronegative RA and 36 with polyarticular APs were analyzed. Questionnaires were used to assess depression (CES-D), functionality (Health Assessment Questionnaire-HAQ), and quality of life (SF-12). Carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) was measured to assess cardiovascular risk. Results: the results showed similar rates of hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia between both groups. However, patients with APs had higher BMI and abdominal circumference. cIMT was equivalent between groups. Depression and quality of life did not show significant differences. Patients with RA presented worse functionality, according to the HAQ. Conclusions: in our cohort, patients with RA and seronegative APs had similarities in quality of life, depression, and cardiovascular risk, except for differences in BMI and abdominal circumference, which were higher in APs. Functionality was worse in AR compared to APs.

RESUMO Trata-se de um estudo transversal, que avaliou as influências da raça/cor nos desfechos obstétricos e neonatais desfavoráveis. Foram construídos modelos de regressão logística para cálculo de razão de chance e exame do risco materno e neonatal. As gestantes negras prevaleceram com significância estatística entre aquelas com baixa escolaridade, hipertensão prévia, três ou mais filhos vivos e com ocupação. As gestantes negras não apresentaram maior risco nos desfechos desfavoráveis. A raça/cor não se comporta como um marcador genético ou biológico, mas como construto social, que pode influenciar as condições de saúde enquanto determinante social.

ABSTRACT This is a cross-sectional study, which evaluated race/color influences on unfavorable obstetric and neonatal outcomes. Logistic regression models were constructed to calculate the odds ratio and to examine maternal and neonatal risk. Black pregnant women prevailed with statistical significance among those with low schooling, previous hypertension, three or more living children and with occupation. Black pregnant women presented no greater risk in unfavorable outcomes. Race/color does not behave as a genetic or biological marker, but as a social construct, which can influence health conditions as a social determinant.
