Abstract

OBJECTIVES:
A subset of Takayasu’s arteritis (TAK) begins in the paediatric age group (≤18 years). Differences in prognosis between paediatric-onset and adult-onset TAK are unclear. We compared the differences in the presentation and survival between paediatric-onset and adult-onset TAK in our cohort of TAK.
METHODS:
From a retrospective cohort of TAK, clinical presentation, angiographic features, treatments received, disease activity, and survival were compared between paediatric-onset and adult-onset TAK. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models were used to compute adjusted odds ratio (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (95%CI) for paediatric-onset vs. adult-onset TAK. Hazard ratios (HR, with 95%CI) for mortality with paediatric-onset vs adult-onset TAK (crude, adjusted for prognostic covariates or differences in presentation) and propensity score-matched survival analyses were estimated.
RESULTS:
Among 56 paediatric-onset and 135 adult-onset TAK, chest pain (aOR 3.21, 95%CI 1.06-9.74), heart failure (aOR 3.16, 95%CI 1.05-9.53), headache (aOR 2.60, 95%CI 1.01-6.74), ascending aorta (aOR 3.02, 95%CI 1.04-8.80) and left renal artery involvement (aOR 2.45, 95%CI 1.04-5.80) were more frequent in paediatric-onset TAK. Despite similar longitudinal patterns of disease activity and glucocorticoid or disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) use, mortality was higher for paediatric-onset TAK (HR, unadjusted 6.13, 95%CI 1.51-24.91; adjusted for prognostic covariates gender, diagnostic delay, baseline disease activity, number of conventional and biologic/targeted synthetic DMARDs used, 4.97, 95%CI 1.20-20.58; adjusted for differences between groups 5.54, 95%CI 1.22-25.09; after propensity-score matching for prognostic covariates, 54 pairs, log-rank p-value 0.026).
CONCLUSIONS:
Considering the greater mortality risk, greater vigilance is required while managing paediatric-onset TAK.
