Survivin Measurement improves Clinical Prediction of Transition From Arthralgia to RA—Biomarkers to Improve Clinical Sensitivity of Transition From Arthralgia to RA

Abstract: Background: Arthralgia often predates development of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A set of joint symptoms commonly found in patients during their transition from arthralgia to RA, has been recently proposed.Aim: To combine clinical and serological markers and to improve recognition of imminent rheumatoid arthritis (RA) among patients with arthralgia.Methods: The total of 1,743 first-visit patients attending the rheumatology ward in Gothenburg for joint symptoms were identified during 12 consecutive months. Among… Show more

“…In the current study, we demonstrate that the concentration of survivin is notably increased in the sera of children with JIA compared to healthy controls, what is in line with the previous observations in adults with RA and children with JIA [ 8 , 16 20 ]. Additionally, we show that gender, age, and different JIA onset types did not influence significantly survivin concentration in the serum, as well as in joint fluid.…”

“…Thus, we con rm the ability of survivin to distinguish children with JIA with sensitivity of 0.843 and of speci city 0.931. The numbers are similar to that obtained by other researchers [8,16]. However, two (6.9%) children from our control group were survivin positive, but their serum survivin concentration was just at the cut-off value (both exactly: 17.37 pg/ml).…”

“…Surprisingly, we do not nd signi cant prior association between high survivin level and high disease activity found in adults with RA and in children with JIA [8,11,16,17,19]. Almost 63% of our study group consisted of children with oligoarticular JIA, mostly with low disease activity and short duration time of JIA symptoms.…”

“…Thus, we failed to confirm survivin prognostic potential for the active and destructive course of the rheumatoid process [7,11,[21][22][23]. Surprisingly, we do not support the prior correlation of high survivin level with higher disease activity found in adults with RA and by Galeotti et al in children with JIA [8,11,16,17,19].…”
