Abstract:
We retrospectively analyzed 126 children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA)admitted from January to December 2017,including 65 cases of systemic-onset JIA (SoJIA) and 61 cases of other types of JIA.The value of serum amyloid A protein (SAA) in the identification of the disease activity and infection in children with SoJIA was assessed.The area under the ROC curve of SAA in identification of disease activation of SoJIA patients was 0.934,which was not significantly different with other types of JIA.With the cut-off value of 68.32 mg/L the sensitivity and specificity for diagnosis of SoJIA activity were 0.913 and 0.892 respectively.In SoJIA patients the SAA was closely correlated with ESR and CRP (r=0.721 and 0.699,P＜0.001).The SAA level was significantly higher in the disease active stage than that in stable stage,in the stable stage with infection than that in the stable stage without infection of SoJIA patients.There were also significant differences in platelet and CRP between active disease with infection and active disease without infection.SAA is expected to be used for assessing disease activity of SoJIA,if combined with platelet and CRP,it may be of value in the identification of the complicating infection.
