Abstract:
Objective To analyze the incidence of hospitalized children with Henoch-Sch(o)nle in purpura (HSP) and Henoch-Sch(o)nlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) from 2009 to 2012,and to characterize the epidemiology of HSP and HSPN in Jiangxi province.Methods Inpatients of Jiangxi Children's Hospital with the diagnosis of HSP or HSPN were recruited during 2009 to 2012.The basic messages in the home page of medical records,such as the admission year,sex,age,area coming from were collected.Chi-square test was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 2516 HSP pediatric patients were included in this study.Of whom,412 cases were diagnosed in 2009,568 cases in 2010,750 cases in 2011,786 cases in 2012.Among them,renal damage as the presenting symptom in 110 cases in 2009,148 cases in 2010,198 cases in 2011,and 196 cases in 2012.The average incidence of HSPN was 25.91％ (652/2516).The morbidity of HSPN were similar in different admission years (x2=0.62,P＞0.05).In HSP patients,the ratio between male and female was 1.59∶1; the peak age was 4 to 9 year-old (65.50％,1648/2516).The morbidity of HSPN was similar in both girls and boy patients group (x2=0.14,P＞0.05).The morbidity of HSPN was 18.76％ (163/869) in patients younger than 6 years old,which was lower than 26.85％(359/1337) in patients between age 6 to 11 years old,and the morbidity of HSPN was 41.94％ (130/310) in patients older than 11years old,the difference was significant (x2=65.24,P＜0.01).The morbidity of HSP in the month of year was different,the peak time was between October and December,which as 40.74％(1025/2516).The morbidity of HSPN was 30.23％(208/688) during January to March,higher than in other period of the year (x2=9.87,P＜0.05).In the last four years,there were 824(32.75％) hospitalized patients of HSP in Nanchang district,1692 cases (67.25％) in other areas in Jiangxi province.The morbidity of HSPN in Nanchang district was 17.35％ (143/824),compared with the average level 25.91％(652/2516),the difference was significant (x2=25.08,P＜0.01).Conclusion The number of children diagnosed with HSP is progressively increased from 2009 to 2012 in Jiangxi province.The peak period for HSP is between October and December,and the peak age is 4 to 9 year-old.The incidence of HSPN between January to March group is higher than in other periodof the year.The morbidity of HSPN is increased with age.
