Abstract
OBJECTIVE The goal was to characterize short-term kidney status and describe variation in early care utilization in a multicenter cohort of patients with childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) and nephritis. METHODS We analyzed previously collected prospective data from North American patients with cSLE with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry from March 2017 through December 2019. We determined the proportion of patients with abnormal kidney status at the most recent registry visit and applied generalized linear mixed models to identify associated factors. We also calculated frequency of medication use, both during induction and ever recorded. RESULTS We identified 222 patients with kidney biopsy-proven nephritis, with 64% class III/IV nephritis on initial biopsy. At the most recent registry visit at median (interquartile range) of 17 (8-29) months from initial kidney biopsy, 58 of 106 patients (55%) with available data had abnormal kidney status. This finding was associated with male sex (odds ratio [OR] 3.88, 95% confidence interval [95% CI] 1.21-12.46) and age at cSLE diagnosis (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.01-1.49). Patients with class IV nephritis were more likely than class III to receive cyclophosphamide and rituximab during induction. There was substantial variation in mycophenolate, cyclophosphamide, and rituximab ever use patterns across rheumatology centers. CONCLUSION In this cohort with predominately class III/IV nephritis, male sex and older age at cSLE diagnosis were associated with abnormal short-term kidney status. We also observed substantial variation in contemporary medication use for pediatric lupus nephritis between pediatric rheumatology centers. Additional studies are needed to better understand the impact of this variation on long-term kidney outcomes.

Intraarticular steroids as DMARD-sparing agents for juvenile idiopathic arthritis flares: Analysis of the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) who achieve a drug free remission often experience a flare of their disease requiring either intraarticular steroids (IAS) or systemic treatment with disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs). IAS offer an opportunity to recapture disease control and avoid exposure to side effects from systemic immunosuppression. We examined a cohort of patients treated with IAS after drug free remission and report the probability of restarting systemic treatment within 12 months. METHODS We analyzed a cohort of patients from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) Registry who received IAS for a flare after a period of drug free remission. Historical factors and clinical characteristics and of the patients including data obtained at the time of treatment were analyzed. RESULTS We identified 46 patients who met the inclusion criteria. Of those with follow up data available 49% had restarted systemic treatment 6 months after IAS injection and 70% had restarted systemic treatment at 12 months. The proportion of patients with prior use of a biologic DMARD was the only factor that differed between patients who restarted systemic treatment those who did not, both at 6 months (79% vs 35%, p < 0.01) and 12 months (81% vs 33%, p < 0.05). CONCLUSION While IAS are an option for all patients who flare after drug free remission, it may not prevent the need to restart systemic treatment. Prior use of a biologic DMARD may predict lack of success for IAS. Those who previously received methotrexate only, on the other hand, are excellent candidates for IAS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Social determinants of health (SDH) greatly influence outcomes during the first year of treatment in rheumatoid arthritis, a disease similar to polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (pJIA). We investigated the correlation of community poverty level and other SDH with the persistence of moderate to severe disease activity and functional disability over the first year of treatment in pJIA patients enrolled in the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry. METHODS In this cohort study, unadjusted and adjusted generalized linear mixed effects models analyzed the effect of community poverty and other SDH on disease activity, using the clinical Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score-10, and disability, using the Child Health Assessment Questionnaire, measured at baseline, 6, and 12 months. RESULTS One thousand six hundred eighty-four patients were identified. High community poverty (≥20% living below the federal poverty level) was associated with increased odds of functional disability (OR 1.82, 95% CI 1.28-2.60) but was not statistically significant after adjustment (aOR 1.23, 95% CI 0.81-1.86) and was not associated with increased disease activity. Non-white race/ethnicity was associated with higher disease activity (aOR 2.48, 95% CI: 1.41-4.36). Lower self-reported household income was associated with higher disease activity and persistent functional disability. Public insurance (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.06-2.29) and low family education (aOR 1.89, 95% CI 1.14-3.12) was associated with persistent functional disability. CONCLUSION High community poverty level was associated with persistent functional disability in unadjusted analysis but not with persistent moderate to high disease activity. Race/ethnicity and other SDH were associated with persistent disease activity and functional disability.

Abstract
Background:Juvenile Localized Scleroderma (jLS) is a rare pediatric inflammatory disease of skin and underlying tissues that may cause significant functional impairment and disfigurement. Management approaches vary and an optimum treatment regimen is lacking. In 2012, a group of jLS researchers of Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA) proposed consensus treatment plans (CTPs), aimed to streamline the approach to care for jLS patients.Objectives:This study aimed to evaluate a large jLS patient cohort seen over a 21-year period in a single tertiary care pediatric hospital in the USA, in order to examine treatments utilized and determine parameters for systemic therapy initiation.Methods:This retrospective cohort study included jLS patients with disease onset in childhood (≤18-years of age) who were seen in rheumatology, dermatology, or combined rheumatology-dermatology clinics from 1999-2020, with ≤ 3 years of follow-up. Data on demographics, disease characteristics, therapies prescribed, and treatment trends were analyzed.Results:Of the 270 jLS patients identified, 101 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The primary reason for exclusion was <3 years of follow-up. Selected demographic data and disease characteristics of patients are shown in Table 1. There were no statistically significant differences in most patient and disease characteristics between patients who received systemic treatment and those who did not. There were no significant differences in baseline laboratory values. The group treated with systemic therapy did have higher rates of extracutaneous involvement and had a higher proportion of patients with a generalized morphea phenotype.Table 1.Demographic and Disease CharacteristicsAll Patients(n=101)On Systemic Therapy(n=63)No Systemic Therapy(n=38)p valueAge-onset (Y), median (IQR)7.5 (6.4)9 (6)7 (4)NSAge-diagnosis(Y), median (IQR)9 (7.9)10 (6.7)9 (3.7)NSDiagnostic delay(M), median (IQR)10 (2.9)12 (13)7.5 (17)NSFollow-up (M), median (IQR)74 (69.3)65 (44.5)78 (47.7)NSSubtype Linear563917NS Face29209NS Circumscribed23419<0.0001 Mixed220NS Generalized201820.004Extracutaneous Involvement191810.001Clinic type Dermatology29227<0.0001 Rheumatology211920.003 Combined51429<0.0001The majority of patients who were on systemic immunomodulatory therapy were treated with methotrexate (59/63, 93.6 %) and/or systemic corticosteroids (21/63, 33 %). 5 patients were treated with hydroxychloroquine, 2 of which were also on methotrexate. 6 patients on methotrexate were either switched to or had mycophenolate mofetil added as concomitant therapy. The most common adverse effects observed in methotrexate-treated patients were gastrointestinal complaints (12/61, 19.7%) and fatigue (7/61, 11.5%). The median treatment duration was 50 months (IQR: 33.5). Patients were more likely to receive systemic therapy if they were followed in rheumatology or combined rheumatology-dermatology clinics as compared to dermatology clinics. Finally, 78% of patients with jLS received systemic treatment after 2013 (a year after publication of the CARRA jLS CTP) as compared to 55% of patients prior to 2013 (p < 0.05).Conclusion:This jLS cohort is one of the largest reported from a single center and reflects an increase in the use of systemic therapy since publication of CARRA CTPs in 2012. Further studies on long-term treatment outcomes and therapeutic approaches utilized when first-line treatment failures occur are warranted.References:[1]Li SC, Torok KS, Pope E, et al.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prognosis of children with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) has improved remarkably since the 1960's with the use of corticosteroid and immunosuppressive therapy. Yet there remain a minority of children who have refractory disease. Since 2003 the sporadic use of biologics (genetically-engineered proteins that usually are derived from human genes) for inflammatory myositis has been reported. In 2011-2016 we investigated our collective experience of biologics in JDM through the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance (CARRA). METHODS The JDM biologic study group developed a survey on the CARRA member experience using biologics for Juvenile DM utilizing Delphi consensus methods in 2011-2012. The survey was completed online by the CARRA members interested in JDM in 2012. A second survey was similarly developed that provided more opportunity to describe their experiences with biologics in JDM in detail and was completed by CARRA members in Feb 2013. During three CARRA meetings in 2013-2015, nominal group techniques were used for achieving consensus on the current choices of biologic drugs. A final survey was performed at the 2016 CARRA meeting. RESULTS One hundred and five of a potential 231 pediatric rheumatologists (42%) responded to the first survey in 2012. Thirty-five of 90 had never used a biologic for Juvenile DM at that time. Fifty-five of 91 (denominators vary) had used biologics for JDM in their practice with 32%, 5%, and 4% using rituximab, etanercept, and infliximab, respectively, and 17% having used more than one of the three drugs. Ten percent used a biologic as monotherapy, 19% a biologic in combination with methotrexate (mtx), 52% a biologic in combination with mtx and corticosteroids, 42% a combination of a biologic, mtx, corticosteroids (steroids), and an immunosuppressive drug, and 43% a combination of a biologic, IVIG and mtx. The results of the second survey supported these findings in considerably more detail with multiple combinations of drugs used with biologics and supported the use of rituximab, abatacept, anti-TNFα drugs, and tocilizumab in that order. One hundred percent recommended that CARRA continue studying biologics for JDM. The CARRA meeting survey in 2016 again supported the study and use of these four biologic drug groups. CONCLUSIONS Our CARRA JDM biologic work group developed and performed three surveys demonstrating that pediatric rheumatologists in North America have been using multiple biologics for refractory JDM in numerous scenarios from 2011 to 2016. These survey results and our consensus meetings determined our choice of four biologic therapies (rituximab, abatacept, tocilizumab and anti-TNFα drugs) to consider for refractory JDM treatment when indicated and to evaluate for comparative effectiveness and safety in the future. Significance and Innovations This is the first report that provides a substantial clinical experience of a large group of pediatric rheumatologists with biologics for refractory JDM over five years. This experience with biologic therapies for refractory JDM may aid pediatric rheumatologists in the current treatment of these children and form a basis for further clinical research into the comparative effectiveness and safety of biologics for refractory JDM.

The safety and efficacy of mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) were evaluated in adolescent patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and active or active/chronic class III–V lupus nephritis. During the 24-week induction phase, patients were randomized to oral MMF (target dose 3.0 g/day) or intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVC) (0.5–1.0 g/m2/month), plus prednisone. Response was defined as a decrease in 24-hour urine protein:creatinine ratio (P:Cr) to <3 in patients with baseline nephrotic range proteinuria, or by ≥50% if subnephrotic baseline proteinuria, and stabilization (±25%) or improvement in serum creatinine. In the 36-month maintenance phase, induction therapy responders were randomized 1:1 to MMF (1.0 g twice daily) or oral azathioprine (AZA) (2 mg/kg/day), plus prednisone. In the induction phase, 10 patients received MMF and 14 received IVC; 15 (62.5%) achieved treatment response (MMF, 7 (70%); IVC, 8/15 (57.1%); p = 0.53, odds ratio (95% confidence interval) 2.0 (0.2, 15.5)). There was a non-statistically significant difference in maintenance of response to MMF (7/8; 87.5%) versus AZA (3/8; 37.5%). Seven patients withdrew (MMF, 2; AZA, 5). During both phases, rates of serious adverse events were similar in both arms. During both phases treatment response with MMF was as effective as the comparator.

Abstract
Kawasaki disease (KD) is the most common systemic vasculitis in childhood after Henoch-Schonlein purpura, and the most common cause of acquired heart disease among children living in Western countries. Its diagnosis relies on clinical findings; laboratory tests are useful to rule out other causes of unexplained fever but are not specific for the diagnosis of KD. Numerous efforts to produce a diagnostic algorithm have been made, but without success. Expert opinion is therefore required in doubtful cases, especially those that lack classical criteria (the so-called atypical or incomplete cases). Renal, gastrointestinal, neurologic, pulmonary and ocular involvements have all been described. Infants may be at higher risk of complications since recognising manifestations of the disease might be more difficult in this group. Approaches to treatment and follow-up of KD are changing in parallel with changes in concepts of what constitutes classical and incomplete KD. Guiding this evolution is the probability that the diagnosis is actually KD, the duration of the child's illness and the desired effects of therapy. Until a gold standard for diagnosing KD is available, these therapeutic decisions will continue to be made on an individual basis.

Abstract
Inadequate understanding of the pathogenesis and etiology of vascular inflammation continues to hinder progress in the diagnosis and treatment of pediatric vasculitis. The greatest amount of work is being done in the most common vasculitides of childhood, including Kawasaki disease and Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Discussion of rarer types of vasculitis, on the other hand, such as antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody-positive small vessel diseases, is largely restricted to case reports. Most aspects of the care of children with Wegener granulomatosis and microscopic polyangiitis are derived by extrapolating from data about adults. Virtually no data are available concerning ways in which these diseases may be different in children.

Abstract
Modern imaging techniques have become essential components of the management of acute osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in children. This article addresses the role of these techniques, based on clinical practice guidelines recently developed at a children's hospital by an interdisciplinary group. The recommendations reflect a review of the literature and an analysis of our own experience with 84 children treated for musculoskeletal sepsis during the past 3 years. We attempt to optimize imaging resources by analyzing the unique aspects of these infections in the pediatric skeleton, the clinical needs at different stages of the disease, and the relative strengths and weaknesses of the various imaging procedures. Our goal was to define the use of imaging in cases of osteomyelitis and septic arthritis in children in specific clinical scenarios in which additional information is likely to lead to management modification.

Abstract
An autoantibody that we hypothesize to react with the reactive center of the plasma serine proteinase inhibitor, C1 inhibitor (C1INH), has been found in a patient with acquired C1INH deficiency. The Ab blocks the ability of C1INH to inhibit the hydrolysis of N-carbobenzyloxy-L-lysine thiobenzylester by purified C1s. A cryoprecipitate from the patient's plasma as well as the Ig fraction were able to block C1INH inhibition of C1s. The immunoaffinity purified Ab to C1INH from the patient's plasma Ig fraction neutralizes the inhibitory activity of C1INH in a dose-dependent manner and blocks the ability of normal C1INH to form a complex with C1s. The neutralizing activity of the purified Ab is reversed by a synthetic peptide that corresponds to the amino acid sequence in the P1 to P15 positions of the reactive center of C1INH but not by a 34-amino-acid trypsin peptide or 37-amino-acid elastase peptide derived from the C-terminus of C1INH. Western blot analysis indicated that the Ab is an oligoclonal Ig with kappa light chains.

Abstract
Because patients with Kawasaki disease have low serum concentrations of salicylates despite high doses, and because the free (unbound) drug is responsible for the pharmacologic effects of salicylates, we assessed salicylate protein binding in patients with Kawasaki disease. During the acute phase of the disease, protein binding of salicylate in 36 children with Kawasaki disease was 73 +/- 12%, significantly lower than during the subacute phase (90.4 +/- 8.7%; p less than 0.0005). Mean serum albumin concentration was 29.2 +/- 6.4 gm/L during the acute phase and 36.7 +/- 7.8 gm/L during the subsequent subacute phase (p less than 0.005). Salicylate protein binding was affected independently by both serum albumin and total salicylate levels. During the acute phase of Kawasaki disease, children had an average twofold increase in free salicylate compared with normoalbuminemic control subjects. A nomogram has been devised to derive free salicylate levels from the known total salicylate and serum albumin concentrations.
