Abstract
BACKGROUND:There are few studies reporting the use of atlantoaxial pedicle screws and the long-term effects of C1-C2 posterior fusion in children. Our study is to investigate the initial results of C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation for pediatric atlantoaxial dislocation (AAD) and assessed spontaneous change of postoperative radiography after a long-term follow-up period. METHODS:Posterior pedicle screw fixations were performed in 21 pediatric patients with AAD. All the patients underwent implant removal 1 year after their initial surgery and had regular follow-up with an average duration of 76.4 months (range, 52 to 117 mo). Clinical and radiographic data were then collected and compared. RESULTS:Frankel Grade was significantly improved at 3 months follow-up compared with pretreatment values. All patients had good bony fusion at a mean of 4.2±0.9 months (range, 3 to 6 mo) after treatment. None of the patients experienced worsening neurological symptoms or injury to the vertebral artery. However, 2 cases experienced minor complications. Following removal of the implants, no spinal deformities or subaxial instabilities were found. The mean angle of sagittal curvature increased from 12.1±2.4 degrees (range, 0 to 22 degrees) immediately postoperatively to 19.1±2.7 degrees (range, 6 to 31 degrees) at the final follow-up (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:The results demonstrated that C1-C2 pedicle screw fixation could achieve satisfactory initial results for the management of the pediatric AAD. Moreover, removal of the metal implant after bony fusion did not increase the risk of spinal deformity or subaxial instability at long-term follow-up.
摘要
背景: 很少有研究报道使用寰枢椎椎弓根螺钉和儿童C1-C2 后路融合的长期影响。我们的研究是调查C1-C2 椎弓根螺钉固定治疗儿童寰枢椎脱位 (AAD) 的初步结果,并评估长期随访后术后x线片的自发变化。 方法: 对 21 例AAD患儿进行后路椎弓根螺钉内固定。所有患者在初次手术后 1 年接受种植体取出术,并定期随访,平均随访时间为 76.4 个月 (52 ~ 117 mo)。然后收集并比较临床和影像学资料。 结果: 3 个月随访时Frankel分级较治疗前值明显改善。所有患者治疗后平均 4.2 ± 0.9 个月 (3 ~ 6 个月) 骨性融合良好。所有患者均未出现神经症状恶化或椎动脉损伤。但 2 例出现轻微并发症。取出植入物后,未发现脊柱畸形或轴下不稳定。矢状面曲率的平均角度从术后即刻的 12.1 ± 2.4 度 (范围,0 至 22 度) 增加到 19.1 ± 2.7 度 (范围,6 至 31 度) 最终随访时 (P>0.05)。 结论: 结果表明,C1-C2 椎弓根螺钉内固定治疗儿童AAD可取得满意的初步效果。此外,在长期随访中,骨性融合后取出金属植入物不会增加脊柱畸形或轴下不稳定的风险。

METHODS:OBJECTIVE:Patients with immune-mediated inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus are at increased risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the cardiovascular risk of patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (SS) remains poorly studied. We aimed to investigate the association between primary SS and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. METHODS:We performed a systematic review of articles in Medline and the Cochrane Library and recent abstracts from US and European meetings, searching for reports of randomized controlled studies of cardiovascular morbidity and cardiovascular mortality in primary SS. The relative risk (RR) values for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality associated with primary SS were collected and pooled in a meta-analysis with a random-effects model by using Review Manager (Cochrane collaboration). RESULTS:The literature search revealed 484 articles and abstracts of interest; 14 studies (67,124 patients with primary SS) were included in the meta-analysis. With primary SS versus control populations, the risk was significantly increased for coronary morbidity (RR 1.34 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.06-1.38]; P = 0.01), cerebrovascular morbidity (RR 1.46 [95% CI 1.43-1.49]; P < 0.00001), heart failure rate (odds ratio 2.54 [95% CI 1.30-4.97]; P < 0.007), and thromboembolic morbidity (RR 1.78 [95% CI 1.41-2.25]; P < 0.00001), with no statistically significant increased risk of cardiovascular mortality (RR 1.48 [95% CI 0.77-2.85]; P = 0.24). CONCLUSION:This meta-analysis demonstrates that primary SS is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity, which suggests that these patients should be screened for cardiovascular comorbidities and considered for preventive interventions, in a multidisciplinary approach with cardiologists.
METHODS:OBJECTIVE:We aimed to evaluate the comparative risk of hospitalized infection among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who initiated abatacept versus a tumor necrosis factor inhibitor (TNFi). METHODS:Using claims data from Truven MarketScan database (2006-2015), we identified patients with RA ages ≥18 years with ≥2 RA diagnoses who initiated treatment with abatacept or a TNFi. The primary outcome was a composite end point of any hospitalized infection. Secondary outcomes included bacterial infection, herpes zoster, and infections affecting different organ systems. We performed 1:1 propensity score (PS) matching between the groups in order to control for baseline confounders. We estimated incidence rates (IRs) and hazard ratios (HRs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for hospitalized infection. RESULTS:We identified 11,248 PS-matched pairs of patients who initiated treatment with abatacept and TNFi with a median age of 56 years (83% were women). The IR per 1,000 person-years for any hospitalized infection was 37 among patients who initiated treatment with abatacept and 47 in those who initiated treatment with TNFi. The HR for the risk of any hospitalized infection associated with abatacept versus TNFi was 0.78 (95% CI 0.64-0.95) and remained lower when compared to infliximab (HR 0.63 [95% CI 0.47-0.85]), while no significant difference was seen when compared to adalimumab and etanercept. The risk of secondary outcomes was lower for abatacept for pulmonary infections, and similar to TNFi for the remaining outcomes. CONCLUSION:In this large cohort of patients with RA who initiated treatment with abatacept or TNFi as a first- or second-line biologic agent, we found a lower risk of hospitalized infection after initiating abatacept versus TNFi, which was driven mostly by infliximab.
METHODS:OBJECTIVE:Reducing pain is one of the main health priorities for children and young people with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA); however, some studies indicate that pain is not routinely assessed in this patient group. The aim of this study was to explore health care professionals' (HCPs) beliefs about the role of pain and the prioritization of its assessment in children and young people with JIA. METHODS:Semi-structured interviews were conducted with HCPs who manage children and young people with JIA in the UK (including consultant and trainee pediatric rheumatologists, nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists). Data were analyzed qualitatively following a framework analysis approach. RESULTS:Twenty-one HCPs participated. Analyses of the data identified 6 themes, including lack of training and low confidence in pain assessment, reluctance to engage in pain discussions, low prioritization of pain assessment, specific beliefs about the nature of pain in JIA, treatment of pain in JIA, and undervaluing pain reports. Assessment of pain symptoms was regarded as a low priority and some HCPs actively avoided conversations about pain. CONCLUSION:These findings indicate that the assessment of pain in children and young people with JIA may be limited by knowledge, skills, and attitudinal factors. HCPs' accounts of their beliefs about pain in JIA and their low prioritization of pain in clinical practice suggest that a shift in perceptions about pain management may be helpful for professionals managing children and young people with this condition.
