Abstract:
Objective:To explore whether the limit of "before the equal-diameter period" is reasonable in the current criteria for "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" (WS/T 207-2010) in children, and to provide basic data and technical support for revision of the criteria for "Diagnosis of Kashin-Beck Disease" (WS/T 207-2010).Methods:In 2018, the historical Kashin-Beck disease (KBD) areas in Heilongjiang Province were selected as the investigation sites. The right-hand X-ray films of all children aged 7-12 years old were taken. According to the different X-ray manifestations of the growth and development of the phalangeal epiphysis, they were divided into five periods: before the equal-diameter period, equal-diameter period, ultra-diameter period, pre-closure period and closure period. Firstly, after stratifying by basic data such as age and gender, the data were standardized and analyzed. Secondly, the detection rates of metaphysis-epiphysis (CRME) in each period were calculated and compared. Finally, based on the mean value of the detection rate of metaphyseal change in Linkou and Fuyu counties of Heilongjiang Province in 1990, the rates of expected detection and missed diagnosis of metaphyseal changes of KBD among investigated children were calculated and compared under the limitation of before the equal-diameter period, before the ultra-diameter period or age range reduction.Results:A total of 5 019 children were investigated. The proportion of children before the equal-diameter period was 53.94% (2 707/5 019), and that of before the ultra-diameter period was 77.92% (3 911/5 019). The results showed that the equal-diameter period mainly appeared in 7-10 years old, and showed a decreasing trend with the increase of age (χ 2trend = 390.10, P<0.05); the ultra-diameter period mainly occurred in 10-12 years old, showing a decreasing trend with the increase of age (χ 2trend = 65.39, P < 0.05); the pre-closure period mainly occurred in 10-12 years old, with an increasing trend with the increase of age (χ 2trend = 51.86, P<0.05); the closure period mainly occurred in 11-12 years old and increased with age (χ 2trend = 7.58, P<0.05). The CRME of children in ultra-diameter period was 14.78% (158/1 069), however CRME did not occur in children with equal-diameter period. Among children before equal-diameter period, before ultar-diameter period and aged 7-10 years old, the expected detection rates of metaphyseal changes of KBD were 5.90%, 8.53% and 7.42%, respectively. The expected missed diagnosis rates of metaphyseal changes of KBD were 5.06%, 2.45% and 3.52%, respectively. Conclusion:In order to improve the rate of expected detection and lower the rate of missed diagnosis of metaphyseal changes of KBD, children in "equal-diameter period" should be included in X-ray diagnosis and disease monitoring of KBD.
