Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Rheumatology
  • Pediatric Immunology
  • Clinical Pediatrics

Background:

  • Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting children.
  • Understanding JIA's clinical spectrum, severity, and immunological aspects is vital for effective management.
  • Growth disturbances and cardiac involvement are potential complications in pediatric JIA.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the clinical manifestations, severity, and immunological features of JIA in children under 16.
  • To assess the influence of JIA on growth patterns.
  • To determine the prevalence and significance of cardiac involvement in JIA patients.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional study was conducted at a tertiary referral center.
  • Fifty consecutive children under 16 diagnosed with JIA were enrolled.
  • Clinical examinations, Juvenile Arthritis Functional Assessment Scale scoring, blood tests, cardiac evaluations, ophthalmic assessments, and growth pattern analysis were performed.

Main Results:

  • An equal sex ratio was observed overall, with male predominance in systemic and oligoarthritis subtypes.
  • Growth disturbances were frequently noted in children with JIA.
  • Cardiac involvement was identified as a relevant concern in JIA cases.
  • A significant number of patients with Chronic Polyarthritis (PSRA) were diagnosed.

Conclusions:

  • JIA significantly affects growth in affected children.
  • Cardiac evaluation is recommended for children diagnosed with JIA.
  • Early identification of conditions like PSRA is important in children presenting with chronic arthritis.
