Objective: To compare organ involvement and disease severity between male and female patients with juvenile onset systemic sclerosis.
Methods: Demographics, organ involvement, laboratory evaluation, patient-reported outcomes and physician assessment variables were compared between male and female juvenile onset systemic sclerosis patients enrolled in the prospective international juvenile systemic sclerosis cohort at their baseline visit and after 12 months.
Results: One hundred and seventy-five juvenile onset systemic sclerosis patients were evaluated, 142 females and 33 males.
Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis: Insights into Pathogenesis, Assessment, and Treatment.
Rheum Dis Clin North Am
November 2021
Article Synopsis
- - Chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis, especially its severe form (chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis), is an autoinflammatory disease mainly impacting children, causing bone pain and swelling.
- - It is often mistaken for infections or cancers, making accurate diagnosis challenging; thus, quick referral to pediatric rheumatology is vital for better outcomes.
- - The article discusses the latest findings on the disease's causes and highlights recent progress and research efforts.
Objective: A working group was established to develop a core domain set (CDS) for Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO) and Synovitis, Acne, Pustulosis, Hyperostosis, Osteitis (SAPHO) following the OMERACT filter 2.1.
Methods: A scoping review to identify disease-related manifestations was performed, followed by a special interest group (SIG) session at OMERACT2020 to begin the CNO/SAPHO CDS framework.
Objective: To evaluate the baseline clinical characteristics of juvenile systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients in the international juvenile SSc inception cohort, and to compare these characteristics between the classically defined juvenile diffuse cutaneous SSc (dcSSc) and limited cutaneous SSc (lcSSc) subtypes and among those with overlap features.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was performed using baseline visit data. Information on demographic characteristics, organ system evaluation, treatment, and patient- and physician-reported outcomes was extracted and summary statistics applied.
Underdetection of Interstitial Lung Disease in Juvenile Systemic Sclerosis.
Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken)
March 2022
Objective: Utilizing data obtained from a prospective, international, juvenile systemic sclerosis (SSc) cohort, the present study was undertaken to determine if pulmonary screening with forced vital capacity (FVC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLco) is sufficient to assess the presence of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in comparison to high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) in juvenile SSc.
Methods: The juvenile SSc cohort database was queried for patients enrolled from January 2008 to January 2020 with recorded pulmonary function tests (PFTs) parameters and HRCT to determine the discriminatory properties of PFT parameters, FVC, and DLco in detecting ILD.
Results: Eighty-six juvenile SSc patients had both computed tomography imaging and FVC values for direct comparison.
