To report methodology and overall clinical, laboratory and radiographic characteristics for Henoch-Schönlein purpura (HSP), childhood polyarteritis nodosa (c-PAN), c-Wegener granulomatosis (c-WG) and c-Takayasu arteritis (c-TA) classification criteria.
The preliminary Vienna 2005 consensus conference, which proposed preliminary criteria for paediatric vasculitides, was followed by a EULAR/PRINTO/PRES - supported validation project divided into three main steps. Step 1: retrospective/prospective web-data collection for HSP, c-PAN, c-WG and c-TA, with age at diagnosis <or=18 years. Step 2: blinded classification by consensus panel of a subgroup of 280 cases (128 difficult cases, 152 randomly selected) enabling expert diagnostic verification. Step 3: Ankara 2008 Consensus Conference and statistical evaluation (sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve, kappa-agreement) using as 'gold standard' the final consensus classification or original treating physician diagnosis.
A total of 1183/1398 (85%) samples collected were available for analysis: 827 HSP, 150 c-PAN, 60 c-WG, 87 c-TA and 59 c-other. Prevalence, signs/symptoms, laboratory, biopsy and imaging reports were consistent with the clinical picture of the four c-vasculitides. A representative subgroup of 280 patients was blinded to the treating physician diagnosis and classified by a consensus panel, with a kappa-agreement of 0.96 for HSP (95% CI 0.84 to 1), 0.88 for c-WG (95% CI 0.76 to 0.99), 0.84 for c-TA (95% CI 0.73 to 0.96) and 0.73 for c-PAN (95% CI 0.62 to 0.84), with an overall kappa of 0.79 (95% CI 0.73 to 0.84).
EULAR/PRINTO/PRES propose validated classification criteria for HSP, c-PAN, c-WG and c-TA, with substantial/almost perfect agreement with the final consensus classification or original treating physician diagnosis.
报告亨诺克-舒恩莱因紫癜(HSP)、儿童多发性动脉炎(c-PAN)、c-Wegener 肉芽肿(c-WG)和 c-Takayasu 动脉炎(c-TA)分类标准的方法学和总体临床、实验室及影像学特征。
初步的维也纳 2005 年共识会议提出了儿科血管炎的初步标准,随后开展了一项由 EULAR/PRINTO/PRES 支持的验证项目,分为三个主要步骤。步骤 1:通过回顾性/前瞻性网络数据收集 HSP、c-PAN、c-WG 和 c-TA,诊断时年龄≤18 岁。步骤 2:由共识小组对 280 例(128 例疑难病例,152 例随机选择)进行盲法分类,实现专家诊断验证。步骤 3:在安卡拉 2008 年共识会议上,使用最终共识分类或原始治疗医生诊断作为“金标准”进行统计评估(敏感性、特异性、曲线下面积、kappa 一致性)。
共分析了 1183/1398(85%)例可获得的样本:827 例 HSP、150 例 c-PAN、60 例 c-WG、87 例 c-TA 和 59 例 c-其他。发病率、体征/症状、实验室、活检和影像学报告与四种 c-血管炎的临床表现一致。对 280 例代表性患者进行盲法治疗医生诊断,并由共识小组进行分类,HSP 的 kappa 一致性为 0.96(95% CI 0.84 至 1),c-WG 为 0.88(95% CI 0.76 至 0.99),c-TA 为 0.84(95% CI 0.73 至 0.96),c-PAN 为 0.73(95% CI 0.62 至 0.84),总体 kappa 值为 0.79(95% CI 0.73 至 0.84)。
EULAR/PRINTO/PRES 提出了 HSP、c-PAN、c-WG 和 c-TA 的验证分类标准,与最终共识分类或原始治疗医生诊断具有实质性/几乎完全一致性。
