This study developed consensus treatment plans for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) and observed the outcomes of different treatment plans. The results showed that nearly all patients received treatment with biologics, and 46% of patients in the biologic treatment group did not receive oral glucocorticoid within the first month of treatment. Overall, the majority of patients had favorable clinical outcomes.
Background: The Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) developed consensus treatment plans (CTPs) to compare treatment initiation strategies for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). First-line options for sJIA treatment (FROST) was a prospective observational study to assess CTP outcomes using the CARRA Registry. Methods: Patients with new-onset sJIA were enrolled if they received initial treatment according to the biologic CTPs (IL-1 or IL-6 inhibitor) or non-biologic CTPs (glucocorticoid (GC) monotherapy or methotrexate). CTPs could be used with or without systemic GC. Primary outcome was achievement of clinical inactive disease (CID) at 9 months without current use of GC. Due to the small numbers of patients in the non-biologic CTPs, no statistical comparisons were made between the CTPs. Results: Seventy-three patients were enrolled: 63 (86%) in the biologic CTPs and 10 (14%) in the non-biologic CTPs. CTP choice appeared to be strongly influenced by physician preference. During the first month of follow-up, oral GC use was observed in 54% of biologic CTP patients and 90% of non-biologic CTPs patients. Five (50%) non-biologic CTP patients subsequently received biologics within 4 months of follow-up. Overall, 30/53 (57%) of patients achieved CID at 9 months without current GC use. Conclusion: Nearly all patients received treatment with biologics during the study period, and 46% of biologic CTP patients did not receive oral GC within the first month of treatment. The majority of patients had favorable short-term clinical outcomes. Increased use of biologics and decreased use of GC may lead to improved outcomes in sJIA.

Summary: Despite the poor health care transition outcomes for young adults with pediatric rheumatic diseases, the adoption of best practices for transition is low. This study aimed to understand how structured transition processes were implemented in pediatric rheumatology practices and what factors enabled adaptations during the global pandemic. The findings highlighted the importance of nursing involvement, institutional improvement efforts, and educational processes by nonphysicians in facilitating the implementation of transition policies. However, the pandemic disrupted contact with nonphysicians, leading to a need for automation tools, which were not widely accessible. The study also revealed that educational processes were often overshadowed by acute issues, potentially impacting the intervention for youth with greater complexity.

Summary: The outcomes of disease recapture in children with well-controlled JIA after medication discontinuation were characterized in this study. The study found that approximately half of the patients experienced a flare within 6 months. The use of biologic drugs and a history of flares were associated with increased odds of successful recapture, while limited range of motion in the joints was associated with decreased odds.

Summary: This study evaluates the care utilization and outcomes of young adults with JIA, and explores factors associated with complete transfer to adult rheumatology. The study finds that respondents with complete transfer to adult rheumatology are slightly older and report higher disease activity, morning stiffness, and pain. Biologic use is high and does not differ by transfer status. Respondents who completed the transfer are more likely to have private insurance and be pursuing postsecondary education. Majority of the cohort reports problems with pain or discomfort and anxiety or depression.

Summary: The objective of this study was to characterize short-term kidney status and describe variation in early care utilization in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) patients with nephritis. The study found that male sex and older age at cSLE diagnosis were associated with abnormal short-term kidney status. Furthermore, there was substantial variation in contemporary medication use for pediatric lupus nephritis between pediatric rheumatology centers.

Hydroxyurea treatment is associated with lower malaria incidence in children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa

Peter Olupot-Olupot, George Tomlinson, Thomas N. Williams, Leon Tshilolo, Brigida Santos, Luke R. Smart, Kathryn McElhinney, Thad A. Howard, Banu Aygun, Susan E. Stuber, Adam Lane, Teresa S. Latham, Russell E. Ware

Summary: The REACH study provides hydroxyurea at maximum tolerated dose for children with sickle cell anemia in sub-Saharan Africa, and it not only reduces SCA-related clinical events but also decreases malaria incidence by around 50%. The study analyzed the associations between hydroxyurea and lower malaria rates, through recording infections in clinical sites across Angola, Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, and Uganda. The results showed that ANC and splenomegaly were significant factors associated with malaria risk, and hydroxyurea treatment at MTD led to lower malaria incidence through incompletely defined mechanisms.

Summary: This study compared patients with heart failure and healthy controls to identify factors that contribute to augmented muscle sympathetic nerve activity. The results showed that in heart failure patients, muscle sympathetic nerve activity was proportional to heart rate and body mass index, but not related to age, blood pressure, or drug therapy. This study has important implications for personalized therapy.
