概括
1999年至2018年期间,系统性硬化症 (SSc) 的发病率在芬兰显著增加,特别是在有限的SSc病例中,当使用更新的分类标准时. 这种增长凸显了更敏感的诊断指南对疾病发病率的影响.
科学领域:
- 风湿病学和免疫学
- 流行病学和公共卫生.
- 医学诊断和分类 医学诊断和分类
背景情况:
- 系统性硬化症 (SSc) 是一种复杂的自身免疫性疾病,在全球范围内发生率各不相同.
- 准确的分类标准对于了解疾病的流行率和趋势至关重要.
- 之前的研究表明,由于不断变化的诊断标准,潜在的诊断不足或错误分类.
研究的目的:
- 分析芬兰20年系统性硬化 (SSc) 发病率的变化.
- 使用两个不同的分类标准来比较疾病发病率:美国风湿病学会 (ACR) /欧洲反风湿联盟 (EULAR) 2013年标准和ACR 1980年标准.
- 确定有助于观察到的发病率趋势的特定SSc亚型.
主要方法:
- 对于在1999年至2018年期间被诊断患有ICD-10代码M34 (SSc) 的患者的医疗记录的回顾性审查.
- 用ACR/EULAR 2013标准重新分类患者 (扩散SSc,有限SSc,正弦SSc,早期SSc) 并根据ACR 1980标准进行评估.
- 研究期间分为五年间隔,以追踪随时间的发生率变化.
主要成果:
- 在应用ACR/EULAR 2013标准时,在1999-2003年至2014-2018年期间观察到新的SSc诊断的统计学上显著增加 (p=0.0012).
- 发病率的增加主要归因于有限的SSc诊断的增加.
- 在使用ACR/EULAR 2013标准的研究期间,每10万居民 (≥16岁) 的平均年发病率从0.9上升到2.8.
结论:
- 1999年至2018年间,芬兰系统性硬化症的发病率显著增加,特别是使用更敏感的ACR/EULAR 2013分类标准时.
- 这种观察到的增加主要是由于有限的SSc亚型的增加,这表明病例确定和分类得到了改进.
- 这些发现强调了更新诊断标准对于准确反映疾病流行病学的重要性.

Prevalence and Incidence
634
In statistical epidemiology and health sciences, two essential metrics—prevalence and incidence—are fundamental for understanding disease dynamics within a population. These measures enable public health officials, epidemiologists, and researchers to assess the burden of diseases, allocate resources effectively, and design impactful public health policies and interventions.
Prevalence indicates the proportion of individuals in a population who have a specific disease or health...

Factors Affecting Illness
4.3K
When a person's physical, emotional, intellectual, social development or spiritual functioning is compromised, this deviation from a healthy normal state is called illness. Illness creates stress that in turn harms individuals. Irritation, anger, denial, hopelessness, and fear are behavioral and emotional changes an individual experiences in the phases of illness. A variety of factors influence a person's health and well-being.

The JAK-STAT Signaling Pathway
9.0K
Several cytokine receptors have tightly bound Janus kinase or JAK proteins attached at their cytosolic tail. Small signaling molecules such as cytokines, growth hormones, or prolactins bind to the cytokine receptors and initiate their dimerization. The dimerization brings the cytosolic JAKs together that trans-phosphorylate and activates each other. The activated JAKs now phosphorylate cytosolic tails of the cytokine receptors, which serve as binding sites for adaptor proteins such as SH2...
