The influence of co-existing atopy on the prognosis of juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) was assessed in this study. Patients diagnosed with JSLE between October 2005 and April 2016 were enrolled in a prospective study and followed up for 2 years. Management of patients was evaluated using the systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score and laboratory variables. Eighty JSLE patients were enrolled at diagnosis and divided into those with (n = 35) and without (n = 45) atopy. When compared with the non-atopic group, atopic patients showed higher SLEDAI-2K score at disease onset (16.09 vs. 11.18), higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate (52.89 vs. 38.27 mm/h), higher percentage of total B-cells (25.85 vs. 19.51%), lower percentage (7.26 vs. 9.03%) and cytotoxicity (9.92 vs. 11.32%) of natural killer cells, and lower complement C3 (0.51 vs. 0.69 g/L) (all p<0.05). At 1, 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months, JSLE patients with atopy reached higher SLEDAI-2K score and lower ΔSLEDAI-2K improvement rate (at 1 month, 8.34 vs. 4.71 and 43.63 vs. 57.95%, respectively; at 3 months, 8.57 vs. 2.62 and 48.39 vs. 75.10%, respectively; at 6 months, 6.91 vs. 2.38 and 53.59 vs. 77.26%, respectively; at 12 months, 4.71 vs. 1.80 and 69.54 vs. 84.10%, respectively; at 18 months, 4.66 vs. 2.02 and 68.14 vs. 82.93%, respectively; at 24 months, 8.57 vs. 2.62 and 70.00 vs. 81.88%, respectively; all p<0.05). During the 24 months of follow-up, the total number of disease flares was higher in JSLE patients with co-existing atopy (3.77 vs. 1.51, p<0.05), and the atopic group needed much more time to reach the stable condition of the disease (6.88 vs. 4.65 months, p<0.05). JSLE patients combined with co-existing atopy had more severe disease at diagnosis and poorer outcomes than JSLE patients without atopy.
本研究评估了共存特应性对青少年系统性红斑狼疮(JSLE)预后的影响。2005年10月至2016年4月期间诊断为JSLE的患者纳入一项前瞻性研究,并随访2年。使用系统性红斑狼疮疾病活动指数2000(SLEDAI - 2K)评分和实验室指标评估患者的病情管理情况。80例JSLE患者在诊断时入组,分为有特应性(n = 35)和无特应性(n = 45)两组。与非特应性组相比,特应性患者在疾病发作时SLEDAI - 2K评分更高(16.09对11.18),红细胞沉降率更高(52.89对38.27 mm/h),总B细胞百分比更高(25.85对19.51%),自然杀伤细胞百分比更低(7.26对9.03%)和细胞毒性更低(9.92对11.32%),补体C3更低(0.51对0.69 g/L)(均p<0.05)。在1、3、6、12、18和24个月时,有特应性的JSLE患者SLEDAI - 2K评分更高,ΔSLEDAI - 2K改善率更低(1个月时,分别为8.34对4.71和43.63对57.95%;3个月时,分别为8.57对2.62和48.39对75.10%;6个月时,分别为6.91对2.38和53.59对77.26%;12个月时,分别为4.71对1.80和69.54对84.10%;18个月时,分别为4.66对2.02和68.14对82.93%;24个月时,分别为8.57对2.62和70.00对81.88%;均p<0.05)。在24个月的随访期间内,共存特应性的JSLE患者疾病发作总数更多(3.77对1.51,p<0.05),且特应性组达到疾病稳定状态所需时间更长(6.88对4.65个月,p<0.05)。与无特应性的JSLE患者相比,共存特应性的JSLE患者在诊断时病情更严重,预后更差。
