Although most children with idiopathic nephrotic syndrome will respond to corticosteroid therapy, 80-90 % suffer one or more relapses.
Using Cox proportional hazard models, we analyzed predictors of remission and relapse in 1-year follow-up data on children aged below 15 years with new-onset nephrotic syndrome.
Of 129 children, 107 achieved remission with corticosteroid therapy and 86 subsequently relapsed. Boys achieved remission more often than girls (adjusted hazard ratio [AHR] 1.52, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.02-2.3). Boys relapsed significantly more frequently than girls (AHR 1.77, 95 % CI 1.11-2.83) and were more likely to have frequently relapsing disease (AHR 3.3, 95 % CI 1.18-9.23). The risk of first relapse increased with the number of days to first remission (AHR 1.02, 95 % CI 1.01-1.04). The risk for a frequently relapsing course increased with a shorter time from remission to first relapse (AHR 0.92, 95 % CI 0.87-0.97).
In idiopathic nephrotic syndrome, boys are more likely to respond initially, more likely to relapse, and to be classified as having frequently relapsing nephrotic syndrome. A decrease in time from remission to first relapse predicts for a frequently relapsing course.
尽管大多数特发性肾病综合征患儿对皮质类固醇治疗有反应,但80% - 90%会复发一次或多次。
我们使用Cox比例风险模型,分析了15岁以下新发肾病综合征患儿1年随访数据中的缓解和复发预测因素。
129名儿童中,107名通过皮质类固醇治疗实现缓解,其中86名随后复发。男孩缓解的比例高于女孩(调整后风险比[AHR] 1.52,95%置信区间[CI] 1.02 - 2.3)。男孩复发的频率显著高于女孩(AHR 1.77,95% CI 1.11 - 2.83),且更易患频繁复发性疾病(AHR 3.3,95% CI 1.18 - 9.23)。首次复发的风险随首次缓解天数增加而升高(AHR 1.02,95% CI 1.01 - 1.04)。从缓解到首次复发的时间越短,频繁复发性病程的风险越高(AHR 0.92,95% CI 0.87 - 0.97)。
在特发性肾病综合征中,男孩更易初始缓解、更易复发,且更易被归类为频繁复发性肾病综合征。从缓解到首次复发时间的缩短预示着频繁复发性病程。
