老年类风湿关节炎19例临床分析

目的探讨老年类风湿关节炎（EORA）的临床特点。方法对19例EORA及103例中青年发病的RA患者（MRA）的临床症状及常用实验室检查等项目进行对比分析。结果急性起病在EORA组中有11例（11／19，57．9％），在MRA组中有32例（32／103，31．1％），两者差异有统计学意义（P〈0．05）。EORA组中伴肺间质病变者有10例（52．6％），MRA组有27例（26．2％）。两组患者在红细胞沉降率、类风湿因子、C-反应蛋白及男女发病率这些指标上均差异无统计学意义。结论EORA急性起病多见，首发在肩和膝等大关节受累的多见，乏力及肺间质病变等关节外表现明显增多。早期诊断、早期治疗有利于阻止病情恶化发展。

Clinical analysis of nineteen elderly patients with rheumatoid arthritis

Objective To investigate the clinical features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in the aged.Methods The clinical features and inflammatory index of 19 aged patients with RA were retrospectively analyzed and compared with those of 103 young patients with RA. Results The acute onset was ocurred in 11 cases in EORA group(11/19,57.9%) ,32 cases in MRA group (32/103,31.1%), there was sighicant difference two groups (P ＜0. 05). There were 10 cases with intertitial lung disense in EORA group(52.6%) ,27 cases(26.2%) in MRA group.There were no statistical differenes between two groups in erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor, c-reactive,EORA incidence rate in male and female. Conclusions In comparison with MRA group,the onset of disease in patients of EORA group was more acute than that of MRA,it had higher degree of disease activity. The commonly seen extra-joint manifestation were feeble and interstitial disease lung. Early diagnosis and treatmentof EORA was favor for the prevention of deterioration of this disease.
