Background and aim
Combination therapy of sorafenib and transarterial chemoembolization (TACE) showed benefits for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This systematic review aims for evaluation of efficacy and safety between sorafenib plus TACE and TACE alone for HCC.Methods
We systematically searched multi-databases to identify eligible studies. Studies comparing sorafenib combined with TACE and TACE alone for HCC were included.Results
Nine studies with 900 patients (sorafenib + TACE = 446, TACE = 454) were finally included. Sorafenib combined with TACE significantly reduced 6-month mortality [OR 0.24, 95 % confidential interval (CI) 0.09–0.68, P = 0.007] and 1-year mortality (OR 0.35, 95 % CI 0.21–0.56, P < 0.0001), but did not decrease 2-year mortality (OR 0.58, 95 % CI 0.14–2.46, P = 0.46). Although combination therapy tend to reduce 3-month (OR 0.76, 95 % CI 0.52–1.10, P = 0.15) and 6-month progression free rate (OR 0.27, 95 % CI 0.07–1.05, P = 0.06), the changes were not significant. Additionally, objective response ratio (OR 0.39, 95 % CI 0.19–0.78, P = 0.008) and clinical benefit ratio (OR 0.27, 95 % CI 0.15–0.50, P < 0.0001) also favored for combination therapy, which, however, caused higher morbidity, especially hand-foot skin reaction (OR 53.71, 95 % CI 28.86–99.93, P < 0.00001), hematological events (OR 14.8, 95 % CI 6.07–36.07, P < 0.00001), diarrhea (OR 6.62, 95 % CI 3.82–11.45, P < 0.00001), hypertension (OR 5.03, 95 % CI 3.02–8.38, P < 0.00001), rash/desquamation (OR 5.67, 95 % CI 3.58–8.99, P < 0.00001), and fatigue (OR 2.5, 95 % CI 1.09–5.72, P = 0.03).Conclusion
Combination of sorafenib and TACE showed survival and clinical benefits in patients with HCC, though enhanced morbidity. 相似文献2.

Background
The objective of this study was to evaluate the mortality of and risk factors for bacteriuria due to carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae (CRKp) versus carbapenem-susceptible K. pneumoniae (CSKp) producing extended spectrum β lactamase (ESBL).Methods
This was a retrospective case–control study in which 135 case-patients with bacteriuria due to CRKp were compared with 127 control patients with CSKp producing ESBL. In a first step, multivariate Cox regression and Kaplan–Meier survival analysis models were used to determine the difference in mortality between the two groups and risk factors for mortality. In a second step, a univariate analysis was used to identify risk factors for CRKp colonization.Results
There were no significant demographic or clinical differences between the groups. In-hospital mortality in the study and control groups was 29 and 25 %, respectively (non-significant difference). Multivariate analysis revealed that the most important risk factor for mortality in both groups was being bed ridden [hazard ratio 2.2, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.23–3.93; P = 0.008]. Patients with CRKp bacteriuria had a longer hospitalization time with a mean ± standard deviation of 28 ± 33 days compared to 22 ± 28 days in the control group (P < 0.05). Several univariate risk factors for acquiring CRKp bacteriuria were identified: antibiotic use [odds ratio (OR) 1.93, 95 % CI 1.18–3.17, p = 0.008], especially colistin (OR 2.04, 95 % CI 1.04–4.02; P = 0.036), presence of a urinary catheter (OR 2.09, 95 % CI 1.2–3.63; P = 0.008), surgery (OR 3.94, 95 % CI 1.85–8.37; P = 0.0002), invasive procedures (OR 3.06, 95 % CI 1.61–5.8; P = 0.0004), and intensive care unit admission (OR 2.49, 95 % CI 1.18–5.37; P = 0.015).Conclusion
Bacteriuria caused by CRKp as compared that caused by CSKp was not found to be a risk factor for death. 相似文献3.

To examine the association between ethnicity and disease activity in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and to determine the association of ethnicity with disease severity and disability in this population. CARRAnet, a US database containing information (collected between May 2010 and June 2011) on almost 3,000 subjects with JIA, was used. Demographic variables were compared between Hispanic patients and non-Hispanic patients. Mann–Whitney and chi-square tests were used to compare indicators of disease activity, as well as imaging evidence of joint damage, and Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) scores between ethnicities. Two linear regression models were used to determine the association of ethnicity with number of active joints in JIA, and the association between ethnicity and disability (CHAQ scores). A total of 2,704 patients with JIA (277 Hispanic; 2,427 non-Hispanic) were included. Income and health insurance coverage were higher in non-Hispanics. RF-positive polyarticular JIA, positive RF and anti-CCP, as well as use of systemic steroids were more frequent in Hispanics. Imaging evidence of joint damage was present in 32 % of the Hispanic patients compared to 24 % of the non-Hispanic patients (p = 0.008). In multivariate linear regression analyses, the number of active joints was significantly higher in Hispanics than in non-Hispanics (p = 0.03), as well as CHAQ scores (p = 0.003), after adjusting for confounders. Hispanic patients with JIA had higher disease activity than non-Hispanic patients, as well as higher disease severity and disability. Since ethnicity influences disease activity, severity, and disability, different management and treatment plans should be planned accordingly. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to explore the association of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the CD244 gene with several clinical features of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Two hundred and forty-three patients with SLE and 369 healthy controls were enrolled. Two SNPs (rs6682654 and rs3766379) in the CD244 gene were determined by allelic discrimination using a specific TaqMan probe. Only SNP rs3766379 was significantly associated with susceptibility to SLE [P = 0.009; odds ratio (OR) 1.28; 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.04–1.57]. The association was preferentially observed in subsets of SLE patients with nephritis and neuropsychiatric lupus. The frequency of the rs6682654 C allele was strongly associated with nephritis and neuropsychiatric lupus (P = 0.00065; OR 1.99; 95% CI 1.34–2.95, and P = 1.6 × 10?7; OR 3.47; 95% CI 2.12–5.70, respectively), as was the frequency of the rs3766379 T allele (P = 0.0014; OR 1.86; 95% CI 1.27–2.71, and P = 2.6 × 10?7; OR 3.15; 95% CI 2.00–4.96, respectively). In this study, an SNP of the CD244 gene was associated with susceptibility to SLE. There was a strikingly strong association in SLE patients with nephritis and neuropsychiatric lupus, suggesting that this genetic marker could predict involvement of those severe complications. 相似文献

Fostamatinib is a selective inhibitor of spleen tyrosine kinase which has a role in the pathogenesis of RA. Multiple RCTs have been performed to study the effects of fostamatinib. The objective of this study was to perform a meta-analysis to analyze the efficacy and safety of fostamatinib in the management of RA. We searched PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL through 11/9/15. Random effect model was used to estimate odds ratio (OR) and 95 % confidence interval. We measured outcomes with efficacy analysis using ACR20/50/70 response criteria and safety with adverse events. Five studies were included in the meta-analysis with total of 2105 patients including 1419 in fostamatinib group and 686 in placebo. Fostamatinib was effective in achieving ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 responses compared to placebo (48 vs. 32.8 %, OR 1.86, 95 % CI 1.32–2.62, P = 0.0004, I 2 63 %; 26.4 vs. 12.5 %, OR 2.50, 95 % CI 1.93–3.23, P < 0.00001, I 2 0 % and 12.7 vs. 4.4 %, OR 3.00, 95 % CI 1.99–4.51, P < 0.00001, I 2 0 %, respectively). Response to fostamatinib was rapid and significant effect on ACR20 response was seen by week 1 (OR 3.70, 95 % CI 2.33–5.87, P < 0.00001, I 2 42 %). Safety analysis showed an increased risk of infection (OR 1.59, 95 % CI 1.2–2.11; P = 0.001; I 2 0 %), diarrhea (OR 3.54; 95 % CI 2.43–5.16; P < 0.00001; I 2 2 %), hypertension (OR 2.55, 95 % CI 1.54–4.22, P = 0.0003; I 2 42 %) and neutropenia (OR 5.68, 95 % CI 1.97–16.42, P = 0.001, I 2 35 %) and showed a trend toward the increase in ALT ≥3 times ULN (OR 1.76, 95 % CI 0.99–3.13; P = 0.05; I 2 0 %). This meta-analysis concludes that fostamatinib has moderate effect in the treatment of RA with mostly mild-to-moderate adverse events and dose-dependent, transient neutropenia and hypertransaminasemia. 相似文献

Purpose
(1) To investigate associations between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in osteopontin (OPN) and its receptor—cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) genes and gastric cancer susceptibility. (2) To explore the correlation of OPN and CD44 expression of gastric cancer.Methods
We detected 26 SNPs of the genes in gastric cancer patients from the Chinese Han population by Sequenom technique and performed expression of OPN in combination with CD44 in 243 tissues samples of the cases by tissue microarray and immunohistochemistry (IHC).Results
We found that the minor alleles of OPN rs4754C>T and OPN rs9138C>A remained strongly associated with decreased gastric cancer risk (P = 1.53 × 10?4, odds ratio (OR) 0.642, 95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.511–0.808 and P = 1.59 × 10?4, OR 0.642, 95 %CI 0.510–0.809). OPN variant rs1126772A>G and CD44 variant rs353639A>C significantly contributed to elevated risk of gastric cancer (P = 0.042, OR 1.279, 95 % CI 1.008–1.622 and P = 0.047, OR 1.334, 95 % CI 1.003–1.772). Haplotypes of OPN and CD44 variants significantly influenced risk of gastric cancer. Clinical data indicated that rs4754 and rs9138 of OPN were significantly associated with smoking (P = 0.029, OR 0.343, 95 % CI 0.127–0.926 and P = 0.029, OR 0.343, 95 %CI 0.127–0.926) and OPN rs1126772 revealed associations with tumor–node–metastasis (TNM) stage (P = 0.025, OR 1.765, 95 % CI 1.073–2.905) and tumor differentiation (P = 0.031, OR 1.722, 95 % CI 1.049–2.825). OPN expression was observed in 133 of the 243 cases (54.7 %) by IHC and was correlated with serosa invasion (P = 0.013), TNM stage (P = 0.003) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.002). CD44 expression was found in 92 of the 243 cases (37.9 %) and was associated with tumor size (P = 0.005) and lymph node metastasis (P = 0.023), respectively. The OPN expression displayed a positive association with CD44 (P = 0.01, r s = 0.164).Conclusions
We found that the polymorphisms rs4754, rs9138 and rs1126772 of OPN gene and rs353639 of CD44 gene were significantly associated with gastric cancer. Our IHC data indicated that interaction of OPN and CD44 protein would promote progression and metastasis of gastric cancer. 相似文献7.

The aim of the study was to examine the cross-sectional association between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) and hyperuricemia (HU). The hsCRP was measured by latex turbidity method. Uric acid was detected on Beckman Coulter AU 5800. HU was defined as uric acid ≥416 μmol/L for the male population and ≥360 μmol/L for the female population. A multivariable logistic analysis model was applied to test the association after adjusting for a number of potential confounding factors. A total of 1935 subjects were included in this study. According to the multivariable regression model, the relative odds of the prevalence of HU were increased by 0.56 times in the third quintile (OR 1.56, 95 % CI 1.03–2.38, P = 0.04), 0.55 times in the fourth quintile (OR 1.55, 95 % CI 1.01–2.36, P = 0.04) and 0.96 times in the fifth quintile (OR 1.96, 95 % CI 1.29–2.98, P < 0.01) of hsCRP comparing with the lowest quintile, and P for trend was smaller than 0.01. In the male population, a positive association existed in the highest quintile of hsCRP (OR 1.66, 95 % CI 1.04–2.66, P = 0.04), and P for trend was 0.07. In the female population, the multivariable-adjusted ORs (95 % CI) of HU in the fourth and fifth quintile of hsCRP were 3.02 (95 % CI 1.09–8.35, P = 0.03) and 3.66 (95 % CI 1.36–9.89, P = 0.01), respectively, and P for trend was smaller than 0.01. The findings of this cross-sectional study suggest that the hsCRP level is positively associated with the prevalence of HU. Level of evidence Cross-sectional study, Level III. 相似文献

This study aimed to investigate the proxy-reported Health related quality of life (HRQOL) and its determinants in patients
with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). It was hypothesized that HRQOL would decrease with worsening disease and disability.
Data were available in cross-sectional study on children and adolescents with JIA according to the ILAR criteria. Patient
demographics, type of JIA, clinical determinants and laboratory parameters relating to JIA were obtained for each patient.
Functional disability was assessed using the parent’s or children’s version of the child health assessment questionnaire (CHAQ).
The HRQOL was evaluated using the juvenile arthritis quality of life questionnaire (JAQQ). These questionnaires were previously
translated and validated in Moroccan children. A total of 80 participants were enrolled with mean age of 11 [6–17 years],
and female predominance (59%). Many patients (42.5%) had oligoarticular subtype; 31.3% polyarticular subtypes and 26.2% systemic
form. The mean global score of JAQQ was 2.6 ± 1.3 (1–6). Patients with persistant oligoarticular had better gross motor function
(P < 0.0001), better fine motor function (P < 0.0001), less psychosocial impact (P = 0.001), and less symptoms (P = 0.001) in comparison with polyarticular and systemic subtypes. The HRQOL assessed by the JAQQ was worse in adolescent patients
in comparison with children except for symptoms (P = 0.15). The gender (P = 0.95), age at onset of JIA (P = 0.81), and evolution duration (P = 0.34) were not correlated with global score of JAQQ. The diagnosis delay was significantly associated with decrease of
HRQOL (P = 0.001). The decrease of HRQOL was correlated with disease activity [pain (VAS), painful and swollen joints, erythrocyte
sedimentation rate (for P < 0.0001)], with disability index (CHAQ) (P = 0.001) and presence of hip involvement (P = 0.01). This study suggests that JIA can have a significant adverse effect on the HRQOL of moroccan patients, particularly
adolescents with polyarticular and systemic subtypes. Disease duration, disability score (CHAQ) and pain were the strongest
determinants of poorer HRQOL. 相似文献

Background
Recent genome-wide association studies demonstrated an association between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the glucokinase regulatory gene (GCKR) with hepatic steatosis. This study attempted to investigate the association of GCKR rs780094 and rs1260326 with susceptibility to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its severity.Methods
The genotypes were assessed on 144 histologically confirmed NAFLD patients and 198 controls using a Sequenom MassARRAY platform.Results
The GCKR rs1260326 and rs780094 allele T were associated with susceptibility to NAFLD (OR 1.49, 95 % CI 1.09–2.05, p = 0.012; and OR 1.51, 95 % CI 1.09–2.09, p = 0.013, respectively), non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) (OR 1.55, 95 % CI 1.10–2.17, p = 0.013; and OR 1.56, 95 % CI 1.10–2.20, p = 0.012, respectively) and NASH with significant fibrosis (OR 1.50, 95 % CI 1.01–2.21, p = 0.044; and OR 1.52, 95 % CI 1.03–2.26, p = 0.038, respectively). Following stratification by ethnicity, significant association was seen in Indian patients between the two SNPs and susceptibility to NAFLD (OR 2.64, 95 % CI 1.28–5.43, p = 0.009; and OR 4.35, 95 % CI 1.93–9.81, p < 0.0001, respectively). The joint effect of GCKR with adiponutrin rs738409 indicated greatly increased the risk of NAFLD (OR 4.14, 95 % CI 1.41–12.18, p = 0.010). Histological data showed significant association of GCKR rs1260326 with high steatosis grade (OR 1.76, 95 % CI 1.08–2.85, p = 0.04).Conclusion
This study suggests that risk allele T of the GCKR rs780094 and rs1260326 is associated with predisposition to NAFLD and NASH with significant fibrosis. The GCKR and PNPLA3 genes interact to result in increased susceptibility to NAFLD. 相似文献10.

The impact of chronic kidney disease (CKD) on the outcome of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is uncertain. We aimed to evaluate the effect of renal dysfunction (defined by ICD-9-CM codification) on in-hospital mortality for PE. We considered all cases of PE (first event) recorded in the database of hospital admissions for the Emilia-Romagna region, Italy, from 1999 to 2009. The inclusion criterion was the presence, as a main discharge diagnosis, of acute PE codes according to ICD-9-CM. Diagnoses of immobilization, dementia, sepsis, skeletal fractures, hypertension, heart failure, myocardial infarction, diabetes mellitus, peripheral vascular disease, cerebrovascular disease, chronic pulmonary disease, pneumonia, malignancy, CKD and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) were also considered to evaluate comorbidity. The outcome was in-hospital mortality for PE, and multivariate logistic regression analyses was performed. We considered 24,690 cases of first episode of PE. In-hospital mortality for PE was not different in patients without renal dysfunction, with CKD, or ESRD (23.6 vs. 24 vs. 18 % p = ns). In-hospital mortality for PE was independently associated with age (OR 1.045, 95 % CI 1.042–1.048, p < 0.001), female sex (OR 1.322, 95 % CI 1.242–1.406, p < 0.001), hypertension (OR 1.096, 95 % CI 1.019–1.178, p = 0.013), diabetes mellitus (OR 1.120, 95 % CI 1.001–1.253, p = 0.049), dementia (OR 1.171, 95 % CI 1.020–1.346, p = 0.025), peripheral vascular disease (OR 1.349, 95 % CI 1.057–1.720, p = 0.016) and malignancy (OR 1.065, 95 % CI 1.016–1.116, p = 0.008). Age and comorbidity are associated with in-hospital mortality for PE, whereas CKD does not appear to be an independent predictor of adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized for PE. 相似文献

Purpose
The evaluation of latent tuberculosis infection (LTBI) is recommended before kidney transplantation. The interferon-γ release assay has been reported to be more specific than the tuberculin skin test (TST) for detecting LTBI. We compared the TST and QuantiFERON-TB Gold In-Tube test (QFT-GIT) for the screening for LTBI and determined the agreement between the two tests in renal transplant recipients before transplantation.Methods
Adult patients who were evaluated for renal transplantation between May 2010 and February 2012 at Severance Hospital in South Korea were prospectively enrolled. We performed TST and QFT-GIT.Results
Of the 126 patients, 23 (19.3 %) had positive TST results and 53 (42.1 %) had positive QFT-GIT results. Agreement between the TST and QFT-GIT was fair (κ = 0.26, P < 0.001). The induration size of TST was significantly correlated with a positive rate of QFT-GIT (P = 0.015). Age (odds ratio [OR] 1.08, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.03–1.13, P = 0.003), male sex (OR 2.73, 95 % CI 1.17–6.38, P = 0.021), and risk for LTBI (OR 4.62, 95 % CI 1.15–18.64, P = 0.031) were significantly associated with positive QFT-GIT results. For positive TST results, only male sex was associated (OR 4.29, 95 % CI 1.40–13.20, P = 0.011).Conclusion
The positivity for QFT-GIT was higher than the positivity for TST, and QFT-GIT more accurately reflected the risk for LTBI. However, a further longitudinal study is needed in order to confirm that the QFT-GIT test can truly predict the development of TB after renal transplantation. 相似文献12.

Rural persons with HIV face barriers to care that may influence adoption of advances in therapy. We performed a retrospective cohort study to determine rural–urban variation in adoption of raltegravir—the first HIV integrase inhibitor—in national Veterans Afffairs (VA) healthcare. There were 1,222 veterans with clinical indication for raltegravir therapy at time of its FDA approval in October 2007, of whom 223 (19.1%) resided in rural areas. Urban persons were more likely than rural to initiate raltegravir within 180 days (17.3% vs. 11.2%, P = 0.02) and 360 days (27.5% vs. 19.7%, P = 0.02), but this gap narrowed slightly at 720 days (36.3% vs. 31.8%, P = 0.19). In multivariable analysis adjusting for patient characteristics, urban residence predicted raltegravir adoption within 180 days (odds ratio 1.72, 95% CI 1.09–2.70) and 360 days (OR 1.63, 95% CI 1.13–2.34), but not 720 days (OR 1.26, 95% CI 0.84–1.87). Efforts are needed to reduce geographic variation in adoption of advances in HIV therapy. 相似文献

Although intravenous diuretics have been mainstay drugs in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), they have been suggested to have some deleterious effects on prognosis. We postulated that renal function may modify their deleterious effects in AHF patients. The study population consisted of 1094 AHF patients from three hospitals. Renal dysfunction (RD) was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 on admission, and the cohort was divided into a high-dose furosemide (≥100 mg/48 h) and low-dose furosemide group according to the amount of intravenous furosemide used within 48 h from admission. In the whole cohort, in-hospital mortality rate was higher in the high-dose furosemide group than the low-dose furosemide group (12.5 vs. 6.6 %, respectively, P = 0.001). However, this difference in the in-hospital mortality rates was significant only in the RD subgroup (15.6 vs. 7.0 %, respectively, P < 0.001), and not in the non-RD subgroup (2.5 vs. 5.9 %, respectively, P = 0.384). Propensity score-matched analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of high-dose furosemide on prognosis. After propensity score matching, high-dose furosemide was not associated with in-hospital mortality (OR 1.25, 95 % CI 0.73–2.16, P = 0.408). However, there was a qualitative difference in OR for in-hospital mortality between AHF with RD (OR 1.77, 95 % CI 0.96–3.28, P = 0.068) and without RD (OR 0.23, 95 % CI 0.05–1.10, P = 0.064), and there was a significant interaction between eGFR and prognostic impact of high-dose furosemide (P for OR interaction = 0.013). An inverse relationship was observed between eGFR and OR for in-hospital death in the group treated with high-dose furosemide (decreasing OR with better eGFR). The deleterious effect of diuretics was significantly modified with renal function in AHF. This association may be one reason for poorer prognosis of AHF patients complicated with renal impairment. 相似文献

Background
Although epidemiologic and animal studies suggest a vegetarian diet protects against the development of colorectal cancer, the relationship between vegetarian diet and incidence of colorectal adenoma is not yet conclusive, especially for Asians.Aim
The purpose of this study was to examine the protective effect of a vegetarian diet against colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma.Methods
This cross-sectional study compared the prevalence of colorectal adenoma among Buddhist priests, who are obligatory vegetarians, with that among age and sex-matched controls. All the subjects underwent health checkups in a health-promotion center in Korea.Result
Colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma were both more prevalent in the general population group than in the Buddhist priest group (25.2 vs. 17.9 %, 6.7 vs. 2.0 %). However, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome, high body mass index, and waist circumference were higher in the Buddhist priest group. According to univariate analysis, non-vegetarian diet (general population) significantly increased the prevalence of colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma compared with a vegetarian diet (Buddhist priests) (OR 1.54, 95 % CI 1.08–2.21, P = 0.018; OR 3.60, 95 % CI 1.53–8.48, P = 0.003). In a conditional regression analysis model, non-vegetarian diet was also a significant risk factor for colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma (OR 1.52, 95 % CI 0.75–2.07, P = 0.043; OR 2.94, CI 0.97–7.18, P = 0.036).Conclusions
Vegetarianism may be effective in preventing both colorectal adenoma and advanced adenoma in Asians. 相似文献16.

Objective
To investigate the proxy‐reported health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) and its determinants in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).Methods
In this multinational, multicenter, cross‐sectional study, HRQOL of patients with JIA was assessed through the Child Health Questionnaire (CHQ) and was compared with that of healthy children of similar age from the same geographic area. Potential determinants of HRQOL included demographic data, physician's and parent's global assessments, measures of joint inflammation, Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.Results
A total of 6,639 participants (3,324 with JIA and 3,315 healthy) were enrolled from 32 countries. The mean ± SD physical and psychosocial summary scores of the CHQ were significantly lower in patients with JIA than in healthy children (physical: 44.5 ± 10.6 versus 54.6 ± 4.0, P < 0.0001; psychosocial: 47.6 ± 8.7 versus 51.9 ± 7.5, P < 0.0001), with the physical well‐being domain being most impaired. Patients with persistent oligoarthritis had better HRQOL compared with other subtypes, whereas HRQOL was similar across patients with systemic arthritis, polyarthritis, and extended oligoarthritis. A CHAQ score >1 and a pain intensity rating >3.4 cm on a 10‐cm visual analog scale were the strongest determinants of poorer HRQOL in the physical and psychosocial domains, respectively.Conclusion
We found that patients with JIA have a significant impairment of their HRQOL compared with healthy peers, particularly in the physical domain. Physical well‐being was mostly affected by the level of functional impairment, whereas the intensity of pain had the greatest influence on psychosocial health. 相似文献17.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients are at increased risk of infection. Aim of the present study was to investigate whether RA patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) due to infection have higher Rheumatoid Arthritis Observation of Biologic Therapy (RABBIT) risk scores compared to control RA patients. Seventy-four RA patients (32.4% male) admitted to an ICU due to infection (from January 2002 to December 2013) and 74 frequency-matched control RA patients (16.2% male) were included in this cross-sectional study. There was strong evidence for a higher RABBIT risk score in ICU patients (median 2.0; IQR 1.3–3.2) as compared to controls (1.3; IQR 0.8–2.0; p < 0.0001). Traditional disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (82.4 vs 64.9%; p = 0.015) and biological DMARDs (28.4 vs 14.9%; p = 0.012) were more frequently given to RA patients without ICU admission. Glucocorticoid users were more frequently found in the ICU group (51.4 vs 31.1%; p = 0.012). In a multivariable analysis tDMARD use was associated with lower (OR 0.38; 95% CI 0.15–0.93; p = 0.034) and glucocorticoid use with borderline higher odds of ICU admission (OR 2.05; 95% CI 0.92–4.58; p = 0.078). Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (OR 2.89; 95% CI 1.10–7.54; p = 0.03), chronic kidney disease (OR 16.08; 95% CI 2.00–129.48; p = 0.009), and age category (OR 2.67; 95% CI 1.46–4.87; p = 0.001) were strongly associated with ICU admission. There was a strong trend towards higher odds of ICU admission with increasing RABBIT risk score. Use of tDMARDs was associated with lower odds of ICU admission. In an adjusted analysis, bDMARDs were not associated with ICU admission. COPD, CKD, and age were strong risk factors for ICU admission. 相似文献

Gout is a common metabolic disorder with high heritability. We tried to explore the association between rs2231142 and gout. We searched “rs2231142 or Q141K and gout” in four databases and scholar searching website until 1 June, 2013 and included data from 52,010 participants in meta-analysis and subgroup analysis. The T allele of rs2231142 was associated with increased gout susceptibility (odds ratio [OR] [95 % confidence interval (95 % CI)]?=?1.73 [1.55–1.91], P?0.001). It increased gout risk in Caucasians with OR (95 % CI)?=?1.68 (1.50–1.87), P?0.001; Asians with OR (95 % CI)?=?1.93 (1.54–2.31), P?0.001; Africans with OR (95 % CI)?=?1.76 (1.15–2.36), P?0.001; and New Zealand Pacific Islanders with OR (95 % CI)?=?2.94 (1.72–4.15), P?0.001, but not in New Zealand Maoris, with OR (95 % CI)?=?1.12 (0.57–1.67), P?=?0.061. No publish or other biases were observed. The T allele of rs2231142 was associated with increased risk of gout. 相似文献

Serum total bilirubin has been suggested to have the potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects on the vasculature. This study was designed to investigate the association of bilirubin with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV), a marker of arterial stiffness and cardiovascular disease. Hypertensive male subjects (n = 2,361) were classified into groups according to the 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles of baPWV value. Correlation and regression analysis were used to assess the relationship between baPWV and other variables. Hypertensive subjects with baPWV above the 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles had a significantly lower bilirubin level than those with baPWV under them (0.97 ± 0.40 vs. 1.00 ± 0.41 mg/dl, P < 0.001; 0.95 ± 0.39 vs. 0.99 ± 0.41 mg/dl, P = 0.001; 0.92 ± 0.36 vs. 0.99 ± 0.42 mg/dl, P = 0.048, respectively). Bilirubin is inversely related to baPWV (R 2 = 0.0032, P = 0.003) and C-reactive protein (CRP) (correlation coefficient = ?0.13, P < 0.001). A 0.1 mg/dl increase in bilirubin was associated with a 19, 20, and 34 % reduced odds ratio for baPWV above the 50th, 75th, and 95th percentiles, respectively [odds ratio (OR) 0.77 (95 % confidence interval (CI) 0.62–0.95), P = 0.015; OR 0.80 (95 % CI 0.64–0.99), P = 0.044; OR 0.68 (95 % CI 0.45–1.00), P = 0.048, respectively] after adjustment for several variables. This study demonstrates an independent inverse association between bilirubin and baPWV in hypertensive men. Additionally, reduced CRP may be one of mediators on the mechanisms how bilirubin reduces baPWV. 相似文献
