某部队官兵血清阴性脊柱关节病发病规律调查

目的 调查血清阴性脊柱关节病(SpA)在不同地区不同兵种部队中的发病及流行特点。方法 采用COPCORD询问表,对内陆平原地区、南疆干旱地区、北疆寒冷高原地区及沿海潮湿地区,包括陆、海、空三军共21750人进行四级调查,初步诊断病例行X线及HLA-B27检测。结果 SpA患病率4.87‰,其中强直性脊柱炎(AS)患病率2.11‰,反应性关节炎(ReA)患病率0.276‰,未分化脊柱关节病(uSpA)患病率2.39‰,AS、uSpA在海军中患病率高于其他兵种。AS在高原寒冷地区及沿海潮湿地区的患病率高于干旱地区及内陆地区,uSpA在沿海潮湿地区的患病率高于干旱地区及内陆地区。结论 AS、uSpA在部队的患病率接近普通人群,在海军中患病率高于其他兵种,在高原寒冷及潮湿环境地区部队的患病率增高。

Prevalence of seronegative spondyloarthritis in the army force of China

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the prevalence and epidemiologic characteristics of seronegative spondyloarthritis (SpAs) in Chinese army force in different areas. METHODS: 4-phase survey was conducted in 21 750 Chinese army, including: face-to-face interviews with standardized COPCORD questionnaires (Phase I screening); further examination on the suspected cases; identification of inflammatory joint and spinal diseases (Phase II); identification of SpAs (AS and uSpA) by more than two experienced specialists in rheumatology; further examination with X-rays and laboratory detection of HLA-B27 (Phase III); and data analysis (Phase IV). RESULTS: Among 21 750 army men, 21 cases of RA, 106 cases of SpAs were identified, with prevalence rates of 0.966 per thousand, 4.87 per thousand respectively. In 106 cases of SpAs, there were 46 cases of ankylosing spondylitis (AS), 52 cases of undifferentiated SpAs (uSpAs) with the prevalence rates of 2.11 per thousand and 2.39 per thousand respectively. Few cases of reactive arthritis (ReA) and Reiter's syndrome (RS) were identified (6 and 1 cases respectively). The prevalence of AS, uSpAs were higher in navy than that in the ground force or the air force. Soldiers in cold and damp areas had higher prevalence rates than that in the plain and drought areas. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of SpA (especially AS and uSpA) in Chinese army force was similar to that in the civilians. SpA (AS and uSpA) was more prevalent seen in the Navy. The incidence of SpA (AS and uSpA) was influenced by environmental factors such as coldness and dampness.
