Growth of prepubertal children with juvenile chronic arthritis

Abstract: The height and height velocity standard deviation scores (HSDS and HVSDS) of 64 prepubertal children with mild to moderate chronic arthritis were calculated at the time of diagnosis and then annually during treatment and follow‐up of 4 y. Preceding the diagnosis, children with chronic arthritis were as a group slightly taller than their healthy peers. During the year before the diagnosis they had grown faster than their peers. During the first year of treatment their growth velocity decreased (change in the me… Show more

“…Growth is often negatively affected in pediatric diseases characterized by chronic inflammation, such as juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) [1,2]. The goals of JIA treatment at onset are to suppress chronic synovitis, control systemic inflammation, relieve pain, avoid deformities and improve linear growth [1].…”

“…Saha ve ark.nın çalışmasında, poliartiküler alt tip JİA'lı hastalarda ve daha ağır klinik hastalık aktivitesine sahip hastalarda düşük uzama hızı görülme prevalansının daha yüksek olduğu gösterilmiştir. 21 Bizim çalışmamızda ise bü-yüme hızı ile başlangıçtaki hastalık alt tipleri ya da hastalık aktivitesi arasında anlamlı ilişki saptanmamıştır.…”

“…No presente estudo, os subtipos sistêmico e poliarticular, a duração da doença e o VHS associaram-se significativa e independentemente à redução na estatura. Estudos prévios observaram resultados similares em relação ao subtipo (4,5,8,12,20) , duração (4,6,8,12) , atividade e severidade da doença (4,12) . Considerando-se que os subtipos sistêmico e poliarticular apresentam quadro inflamatório mais severo (2,4,6,9) , esses achados confirmam a importância da severidade e persistência do quadro inflamatório para o deficit de crescimento.…”

“…Por outro lado, um número semelhante de estudos (5,6,8,20) , contando também com amostras pequenas (máximo 67 pacientes), não demonstraram associações entre corticoterapia e baixa estatura. Esses resultados negativos podem ser relacionados ao baixo poder estatístico para detectar efeitos clinicamente relevantes.…”
