Retrospective analysis of 33 patients with juvenile dermato/polymyositis showed 45% complete recovery, 26% remission (steroid dependent), 6% wheelchair-dependency, 3% deaths and 10% development of other connective tissue diseases after a mean follow up of 4 years. Patients who received 2 mg/kg of prednisone had the worst prognosis but since they apparently represent a subgroup it is questionable whether high dose prednisone was the cause of the poor prognosis. This subgroup is characterized by high CPK serum levels (a 10-fold increase or more) and an acute type of onset. An initial high ANA titer was found to predict the later development of other connective tissue disorders.
对33例青少年皮肌炎患者进行回顾性分析,结果显示,平均随访4年后,45%的患者完全康复,26%的患者缓解(依赖类固醇),6%的患者需依靠轮椅行动,3%的患者死亡,10%的患者并发其他结缔组织疾病。接受2mg/kg泼尼松治疗的患者预后最差,但由于他们显然代表一个亚组,高剂量泼尼松是否是预后不良的原因值得怀疑。该亚组的特征是血清肌酸磷酸激酶(CPK)水平较高(升高10倍或更多)且起病急。发现初始抗核抗体(ANA)滴度高可预测其他结缔组织疾病的后期发展。
