Özet

Objectives The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performances of recently proposed Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization criteria versus current International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria for systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA). Methods The study was performed at the Department of Pediatric Rheumatology in Istanbul Faculty of Medicine with a retrospective design, covering the date range 2010-2021. Patients diagnosed with sJIA, Kawasaki disease and common autoinflammatory diseases were included. Both the International League of Associations for Rheumatology and Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization classification criteria were applied to each patient and cross-checked with expert rheumatologist diagnosis. Results Eighty-two patients with sJIA were compared against 189 (74 Kawasaki disease, 83 familial Mediterranean fever, 16 mevalonate kinase deficiency, 10 cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, and 6 tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome) patients. The Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization criteria demonstrated higher sensitivity (62.2% vs 80.5%, P =.003) but comparable specificity (90.5% vs 91%) as regards the International League of Associations for Rheumatology criteria. Conclusions The revised criteria appear to enhance the ability to provide early recognition and pertinent classification of sJIA. No superiority was observed in segregating sJIA from common autoinflammatory diseases and Kawasaki disease, namely in terms of specificity.
