Abstract
OBJECTIVES CLIPPER2 was an 8-year, open-label extension of the phase 3b, 2-year CLIPPER study on the safety and efficacy of etanercept in patients with JIA, categorized as extended oligoarticular arthritis (eoJIA), enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) or PsA. METHODS Participants with eoJIA (2-17 years old), ERA or PsA (each 12-17 years old) who received ≥1 etanercept dose (0.8 mg/kg weekly; maximum 50 mg) in CLIPPER could enter CLIPPER2. Primary end point was occurrence of malignancy. Efficacy assessments included proportions achieving JIA ACR 30/50/70/90/100 criteria and ACR inactive disease criteria, and clinical remission (ACR criteria) or Juvenile Arthritis DAS (JADAS) ≤1. RESULTS Overall, 109/127 (86%) CLIPPER participants entered CLIPPER2 [n = 55 eoJIA, n = 31 ERA, n = 23 PsA; 99 (78%) on active treatment]; 84 (66%) completed 120 months' follow-up [32 (25%) on active treatment]. One malignancy (Hodgkin's disease in 18-year-old patient with eoJIA treated with methotrexate for 8 years) was reported; there were no cases of active tuberculosis or deaths. Numbers and incidence rates (events per 100 patient-years) of TEAEs (excluding infections/ISRs) decreased from 193 (173.81) in Year 1 to 9 (27.15) in Year 10; TE infections and serious infections also decreased. Over 45% of participants (n = 127) achieved JIA ACR50 responses from Month 2 onwards; 42 (33%) and 34 (27%) participants achieved JADAS and ACR clinical remission, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Etanercept treatment up to 10 years was well tolerated, consistent with the known safety profile, with durable response in the participants still on active treatment. The benefit-risk assessment of etanercept in these JIA categories remains favourable. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov IDs: CLIPPER (NCT00962741); CLIPPER2 (NCT01421069).

Abstract
BACKGROUND Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), caused by mutations in the pyrin-encoding MEFV gene, is characterized by uncontrolled caspase-1 activation and IL-1β secretion. A similar mechanism drives inflammation in cryopyrin-associated periodic fever syndrome (CAPS) caused by mutations in NLRP3. CAPS and FMF, however, result in largely different clinical manifestations, pointing to additional, autoinflammatory pathways involved in FMF. Another hallmark of FMF is extraordinarily high expression of S100A8 and S100A9. These alarmins are ligands of Toll-like receptor 4 and amplifiers of inflammation. However, the relevance of this inflammatory pathway for the pathogenesis of FMF is unknown. OBJECTIVE This study investigated whether mutations in pyrin result in specific secretion of S100A8/A9 alarmins through gasdermin D pores' amplifying FMF pathology. METHODS S100A8/A9 levels in FMF patients were quantified by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. In vitro models with knockout cell lines and specific protein inhibitors were used to unravel the S100A8/A9 secretion mechanism. The impact of S100A8/A9 to the pathophysiology of FMF was analyzed with FMF (MEFVV726A/V726A) and S100A9-/- mouse models. Pyrin-S100A8/A9 interaction was investigated by coimmunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay studies. RESULTS The S100A8/A9 complexes directly interacted with pyrin. Knocking out pyrin, caspase-1, or gasdermin D inhibited the secretion of these S100 alarmins. Inflammatory S100A8/A9 dimers were inactivated by tetramer formation. Blocking this inactivation by targeted S100A9 deletion in a murine FMF model demonstrated the relevance of this novel autoinflammatory pathway in FMF. CONCLUSION This is the first proof that members of the S100 alarmin family are released in a pyrin/caspase-1/gasdermin D-dependent pathway and directly drive autoinflammation in vivo.

Blurring and Irregularity of the Subchondral Cortex in Pediatric Sacroiliac Joints on T1 Images: Incidence of Normal Findings That Can Mimic Erosions. Arthritis Care Res (Hoboken) 2023; 75:190-197.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine prevalence of variations of subchondral bone appearance that may mimic erosions on T1-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of pediatric sacroiliac (SI) joints according to age and sex. METHODS With ethics committee approval and informed consent, SI joint MRIs of 251 children (132 girls), mean age 12.4 years (range 6.1-18.0 years), were obtained in 2 cohorts: 127 children imaged for nonrheumatic reasons, and 124 children with low back pain but no features of sacroiliitis at initial clinical MRI review. MRIs were reviewed by 3 experienced radiologists, blinded from each other, for 3 features of the cortical black line representing the subchondral bone plate on T1-weighted MRI: visibility, blurring, and irregularity. RESULTS Based on agreement from 2 or more readers, the cortical black line was partially absent in 88.4% of the children, blurred in 34.7%, and irregular in 41.4%. All these features were most common on the iliac side of SI joints and at the first sacral vertebra level. Clearly visualized, sharply delineated SI joints with none of these features were seen in only 8.0% of children, or in 35.1% if we conservatively required agreement of all 3 readers to consider a feature present. There was no significant difference between sexes or cohorts; findings were similar across pediatric age groups. CONCLUSION Understanding the normal MRI appearance of the developing SI joint is necessary to distinguish physiologic findings from disease. At least two-thirds (65%) of normal pediatric SI joints showed at least 1 feature that is a component of the adult definition of SI joint erosions, risking overdiagnosis of sacroiliitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Transcriptome profiling of blood cells is an efficient tool to study the gene expression signatures of rheumatic diseases. This study aims to improve the early diagnosis of pediatric rheumatic diseases by investigating patients' blood gene expression and applying machine learning on the transcriptome data to develop predictive models. METHODS RNA sequencing was performed on whole blood collected from children with rheumatic diseases. Random Forest classification models were developed based on the transcriptome data of 48 rheumatic patients, 46 children with viral infection, and 35 controls to classify different disease groups. The performance of these classifiers was evaluated by leave-one-out cross-validation. Analyses of differentially expressed genes (DEG), gene ontology (GO), and interferon-stimulated gene (ISG) score were also conducted. RESULTS Our first classifier could differentiate pediatric rheumatic patients from controls and infection cases with high area-under-the-curve (AUC) values (AUC = 0.8 ± 0.1 and 0.7 ± 0.1, respectively). Three other classifiers could distinguish chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO), juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), and interferonopathies (IFN) from control and infection cases with AUC ≥ 0.8. DEG and GO analyses reveal that the pathophysiology of CRMO, IFN, and JIA involves innate immune responses including myeloid leukocyte and granulocyte activation, neutrophil activation and degranulation. IFN is specifically mediated by antibacterial and antifungal defense responses, CRMO by cellular response to cytokine, and JIA by cellular response to chemical stimulus. IFN patients particularly had the highest mean ISG score among all disease groups. CONCLUSION Our data show that blood transcriptomics combined with machine learning is a promising diagnostic tool for pediatric rheumatic diseases and may assist physicians in making data-driven and patient-specific decisions in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To standardly assess and describe nailfold videocapillaroscopy (NVC) assessment in children and adolescents with juvenile rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (jRMD) versus healthy controls (HC). METHODS In consecutive jRMD children and matched HC from 13 centres worldwide, 16 NVC images per patient were acquired locally and read centrally per international consensus standard evaluation of the EULAR Study Group on Microcirculation in Rheumatic Diseases. 95 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 22 with dermatomyositis (JDM), 20 with systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE), 13 with systemic sclerosis (jSSc), 21 with localized scleroderma (lSc), 18 with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD) and 20 with primary Raynaud's phenomenon (PRP) were included. NVC differences between juvenile subgroups and HC were calculated through multivariable regression analysis. RESULTS A total number of 6474 images were assessed from 413 subjects (mean age 12.1-years, 70.9% female). The quantitative NVC-characteristics were significantly lower (↓) or higher (↑) in the following subgroups compared to HC: For density: ↓ in jSSc, JDM, MCTD, cSLE and lSc; For dilations: ↑ in jSSc, MCTD and JDM; For abnormal shapes: ↑ JDM and MCTD; For haemorrhages: ↑ in jSSc, MCTD, JDM and cSLE. The qualitative NVC-assessment of JIA, lSc and PRP did not differ from HC, whereas the cSLE and jSSc, MCTD, JDM, cSLE subgroups showed more non-specific and scleroderma patterns respectively. CONCLUSION This analysis resulted from a pioneering registry of NVC in jRMD. The NVC-assessment in jRMD differed significantly from HC. Future prospective follow up will further elucidate the role of NVC in jRMD.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To evaluate clinical characteristics, imaging findings, therapeutic approach and outcome of paediatric patients with Chronic Non-Bacterial Osteomyelitis (CNO). METHODS Retrospective review of 30 children diagnosed with CNO at two tertiary care centres in Belgium. Imaging data were evaluated by blinded paediatric radiologists. RESULTS Mean age at onset was 10.3 years and mean age at diagnosis was 11.7 years. Bone pain was the leading symptom (29/30 patients). Out of 180 symptomatic lesions, 131 were confirmed on MRI as hyperintense geographic lesions on STIR images at the metaphysis and epiphysis adjacent to growth plates of tubular bones. The most common sites of involvement were the lower limbs, spine, sternoclavicular joint and humerus. For nearly half of the patients (14/30) monotherapy with NSAIDs was sufficient to obtain remission. The remaining 16 patients received second-line therapy: bisphosphonates (n = 15/30), disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (n = 7/30), etanercept (n = 4/30) and tocilizumab (n = 1/30). Remission was reached after a mean time of 37.6 months in 26/30 patients. The prognosis was worse for patients with spinal involvement, resulting in more long-term sequelae. CONCLUSIONS We present a multicentre paediatric cohort of 30 CNO patients. A typical pattern of bone involvement could be found on MRI. NSAIDs were administered as first-line treatment. Second-line strategies included bisphosphonates, corticosteroids, methotrexate, etanercept and tocilizumab. TRIAL REGISTRATION Retrospectively registered. Registratienummer EC KUL: MP018023.

Abstract
BackgroundCLIPPER2 was an 8-year, open-label extension of the phase 3b, 2-year CLIPPER study of the safety and efficacy of etanercept (ETN) in patients (pts) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), categorized as extended oligoarticular JIA (eoJIA), enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), or psoriatic arthritis (PsA).ObjectivesEvaluation of the efficacy of ETN and its effect on health outcomes over 10 years of follow-up were secondary objectives and are reported here.MethodsPts (n=127) with eoJIA (n=60; 2-17 years of age), ERA (n=38; 12-17), or PsA (n=29; 12-17) who received ≥1 ETN dose (0.8 mg/kg once weekly [max, 50 mg]) in CLIPPER were eligible to enter CLIPPER2. The study design has been reported previously.1 Efficacy endpoints included proportions of pts achieving JIA American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 30/50/70/90/100 criteria, Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS) inactive disease and clinical remission criteria, and sustained clinical remission (ACR criteria) or JADAS ≤1 for 12 continuous months (mths). Exploratory efficacy endpoints included time to flare following ETN withdrawal (based on ≥30% worsening in ≥3/6 ACR Pedi components, with ≥30% improvement in <2/6 remaining components and ≥2 active joints), and time to re-treatment with ETN.Observed Cases were used (i.e., there was no imputation for missing data) for pts who were in the Active Treatment Period.ResultsA total of 109/127 (86%) CLIPPER participants entered CLIPPER2 (n=55 eoJIA, n=31 ERA, n=23 PsA), with 99 (78%) pts continuing in the Active Treatment Period. Overall, 84 (66%) pts completed 120 mths of follow-up; 27 (21%) while actively taking ETN. Thirty (24%) pts entered the Withdrawal Period from the Active Treatment Period (i.e., they discontinued ETN, either by meeting the Wallace definition for clinically inactive disease for at least 6 months on ETN, or by having had a good clinical response and being deemed to benefit from withdrawal in the investigator’s judgment). Of the pts in the Active Treatment Period, over 90% achieved JIA ACR 50 response at all study time points. Sustained JADAS and ACR remission was achieved by 42 (33%) pts and 17 (13%) pts, respectively. The mean improvements from baseline in JADAS disease activity at mth 24 of CLIPPER were largely maintained through CLIPPER2 A total of 109/127 (86%) CLIPPER participants entered CLIPPER2 (n=55 eoJIA, n=31 ERA, n=23 PsA), with 99 (78%) pts continuing in the Active Treatment Period.

Abstract
BackgroundCLIPPER2 was an 8-year, open-label extension of the phase 3b, multicenter, 2-year CLIPPER study of the safety and efficacy of etanercept (ETN) in the treatment of patients (pts) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categorized as extended oligoarticular arthritis (eoJIA), enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), or psoriatic arthritis (PsA).ObjectivesThe objective of this analysis was to describe the safety of ETN in this population after 10 years of follow up.MethodsPts (n=127) with eoJIA (2-17 years), ERA, or PsA (each 12-17 years) who received ≥1 ETN dose (0.8 mg/kg once weekly [max, 50 mg]) in CLIPPER were eligible to enter CLIPPER2. The primary outcome measure was the occurrence of malignancy. Long-term safety was assessed as the total incidence of events from CLIPPER baseline (BL) to month (mth) 120, frequency of events per 100 patient-years (EP100PY), and frequency of events in each study year.ResultsA total of 109/127 (86%) pts entered CLIPPER2; 99 (78%) continued in the active treatment period. At mth 120, 84 (66%) pts had completed the study; 27 (21%) while actively taking ETN; 7 (6%) had withdrawn from treatment due to low/inactive disease; 5 (4%) had re-started ETN following an earlier withdrawal from treatment; and 45 (35%) had stopped ETN (but remained under observation); 25 (20%) pts permanently discontinued from the CLIPPER2 study. In CLIPPER/CLIPPER2, 1 case of malignancy (Hodgkin’s disease) was reported (1 pt with eoJIA in Year 3). There was 1 case of uveitis (1 pt with eoJIA in Year 8) and 3 of Crohn’s disease (2 pts with ERA, Year 1/Year 6; 1 pt with eoJIA, Year 5). There were 2 cases of opportunistic infections (both herpes zoster), and no deaths. Overall, there were 559 (81.82 EP100PY) treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) excluding infections and injection-site reactions (ISRs). The overall rate of TE serious infections was low (N=14; 2.05 EP100PY) (Table 1), with the most common TE serious infection being gastroenteritis (N=2; 0.29 EP100PY). The most frequently reported TEAEs (N [EP100PY]) were headache (28 [4.10]), arthralgia (24 [3.51]), pyrexia (21 [3.07]), diarrhea (14 [2.05]), and leukopenia (12 [1.76]). Overall, 39 patients reported serious AEs (excluding infections/ISRs). The number and frequency (N [EP100PY]) of TEAEs (excluding infections/ISRs) decreased over the 10-year study period from 193 [173.81] in Year 1 to 9 [27.15] in Year 10. The number and frequency of TE infections and TE serious infections also decreased over the 10-year study period. There was no clear trend of a decrease over time for the incidence of TE serious AEs (Figure 1).Table 1.ETN Safety Summary (from CLIPPER BL to mth 120), N (EP100PY) (FAS)*eoJIA, n=60(EXP=313.667 PY)ERA, n=38(EXP=206.971 PY)PsA, n=29(EXP=162.576 PY)Total, n=12(EXP=683.214 PY)TEAEs†269 (85.76)176 (85.04)114 (70.12)559 (81.82)TE serious AEs†16 (5.10)17 (8.21)7 (4.31)40 (5.85)TE ISRs23 (7.33)29 (14.01)12 (7.38)64 (9.37)TE infections418 (133.26)99 (47.83)155 (95.34)672 (98.36)TE serious infectionsǂ5 (1.59)4 (1.93)5 (3.08)14 (2.05)Opportunistic infections§01 (0.48)1 (0.62)2 (0.29)TEAEs causing withdrawal†7 (2.23)9 (4.35)2 (1.23)18 (2.63)TE infections causing withdrawal2 (0.64)01 (0.62)3 (0.44)*While on active ETN treatment or within 30 days of last dose†Excluding infections/ISRsǂGastroenteritis, 2 (0.29); acute tonsillitis, anal abscess, bronchopneumonia, gastrointestinal infection, helicobacter gastritis, influenza, peritonitis, pharyngitis, pyelocystitis, sepsis, urinary tract infection, viral infection, all 1 (0.15)§Both herpes zosterEXP, exposure to ETN; FAS, full analysis set; n, number of patients; N, number of eventsConclusionETN treatment to mth 120 was well tolerated in this patient population and consistent with the known safety profile.

Abstract
BackgroundEnthesitis-related Arthritis (ERA) is a category of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) characterised by heterogeneous and insidious manifestations comprising axial and/or peripheral arthritis, and enthesitis.1 Secukinumab (SEC) demonstrated efficacy and safety in both ERA and juvenile psoriatic arthritis (JPsA) in the JUNIPERA trial.2ObjectivesTo evaluate the rate of flare risk reduction and efficacy of SEC on axial and peripheral manifestations in patients (pts) with active ERA.MethodsERA pts (2 to <18 years of age) with active disease (both ≥3 active joints and ≥1 active enthesitis site) were included. In the open-label (OL) treatment-period (TP)1, s.c. SEC (75/150 mg in pts <50/ ≥50 kg) was administered at baseline (BL), and at Week (Wk) 1–4, 8 and 12. Pts who achieved at least JIA-ACR30 response at Wk 12 were randomised into the double-blinded TP2 to continue SEC or placebo (PBO) every 4 wk until a disease flare, or up to Wk 100. The primary endpoint was time to flare in ERA and JPsA pts. The juvenile spondyloarthritis disease activity Index (JSpADA) is a disease activity assessment tool that contains 8 items to measure axial and peripheral disease activity.3 Evaluation of axial and peripheral manifestations at the end of TP1 and TP2 in pts who experienced these symptoms at BL included modified Schober test (lumbar flexion), inflammatory back pain, FABER (Flexion, ABduction, External Rotation) test, JIA-ACR responses, Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS)-27, and resolution of enthesitis and dactylitis for peripheral disease. These outcomes were also used to assess JIA disease course at the end of TP2.ResultsA total of 52/86 (60.5%) pts with ERA were enrolled in the OL period TP1 (mean age, 13.7 years; male, 78.8%). In total, 51/52 (98.1%) pts completed TP1 and 41/44 (93.2%) completed TP2. At BL, mean JADAS-27 was 14.8, mean JSpADA index was 3.9, mean enthesitis and dactylitis counts were 2.7 and 0.4, respectively, mean number of active joints was 6.2 and of mean joints with limited range of motion 4.9. The relative risk reduction of experiencing a disease flare in TP2 was 55% (HR 0.45, 95% CI: 0.16–1.28, p=0.075) in ERA pts (Figure 1). The overall axial and peripheral disease symptoms improved over time and are presented in the Table 1. At the end of TP1, 84.6% (44/52) of pts achieved JIA-ACR 30 and 65.4% (34/52) achieved JIA-ACR 70. Clinically relevant reduction of functional ability as assessed by Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) also occurred (see Table 1).Table 1.Resolution of axial and peripheral disease symptoms and JIA ACR responses at the end of TP1 and 2Clinical response, mean (SD) change from BL (unless otherwise stated)TP1-Wk 12End of TP2*SEC (N=52)SEC (N=22)PBO (N=22)JSpADA index−2.4 (1.7)−2.7 (1.7)−2.3 (2.1)JSpADA Schöber, %58.3100.0100.0Inflammatory back pain, %77.8100.050.0FABER test, %52.6100.083.3Clinical sacroiliitis, %53.3100.050.0Enthesitis−2.2 (1.9)−2.5 (2.1)−1.3 (1.8)Dactylitis−0.2 (0.8)−0.2 (1)−0.1 (0.4)JIA ACR30, %84.690.968.2JIA ACR50, %78.881.868.2JIA ACR70, %65.468.254.5JIA ACR90, %32.745.550.0JIA ACR100, %26.936.445.5Inactive disease, %38.550.050.0CHAQ−0.5 (0.5)−0.6 (0.7)−0.4 (0.5)CRP, median (SD) change from BL−1.8 (38.7)−5.8 (38.3)0 (35.9)JADAS-27−9.6 (7.5)−11.0 (8.9)−7.6 (8.9)Resolution of enthesitis#, %72.378.683.3Resolution of dactylitis#, %5066.70*End of TP2 is based on individual pts’ last visit at TP2. #At BL, in TP1, enthesitis (n= 46); dactylitis (n=5).

Abstract
In rare instances, pediatric SARS-CoV-2 infection results in a novel immunodysregulation syndrome termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C). We compared MIS-C immunopathology with severe COVID-19 in adults. MIS-C does not result in pneumocyte damage but is associated with vascular endotheliitis and gastrointestinal epithelial injury. In MIS-C, the cytokine release syndrome is characterized by IFNγ and not type I interferon. Persistence of patrolling monocytes differentiates MIS-C from severe COVID-19, which is dominated by HLA-DRlo classical monocytes. IFNγ levels correlate with granzyme B production in CD16+ NK cells and TIM3 expression on CD38+/HLA-DR+ T cells. Single-cell TCR profiling reveals a skewed TCRβ repertoire enriched for TRBV11-2 and a superantigenic signature in TIM3+/CD38+/HLA-DR+ T cells. Using NicheNet, we confirm IFNγ as a central cytokine in the communication between TIM3+/CD38+/HLA-DR+ T cells, CD16+ NK cells, and patrolling monocytes. Normalization of IFNγ, loss of TIM3, quiescence of CD16+ NK cells, and contraction of patrolling monocytes upon clinical resolution highlight their potential role in MIS-C immunopathogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features of active sacroiliac joint inflammation include joint space fluid and enhancement, but it is unclear to what extent these are present in normal children. OBJECTIVE To describe normal MRI appearances of pediatric sacroiliac joint spaces in boys and girls of varying ages. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this ethics-approved prospective study, 251 children (119 boys, 132 girls; mean age: 12.4 years, range: 6.1-18.0 years), had both oblique-coronal T1-weighted and short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sacroiliac joint MRI. Of these, 127 were imaged for other reasons and had asymptomatic sacroiliac joints ("normal cohort") while 124 had low back pain with no features of sacroiliitis on initial clinical MRI review ("low-back-pain cohort"). Post-gadolinium T1-weighted sequences were available in 16/127 normal and 124/124 low-back-pain subjects. Three experienced radiologists scored high signal in the sacroiliac joint space on STIR (score 0=absent; 1=high signal compared to normal bone marrow present anywhere in the joint but not as bright as fluid [compared to vessels, cerebrospinal fluid]; 2=definite fluid signal in part of the joint; 3=definite fluid signal, entire vertical height, majority of slices) and, when available, joint space post-contrast enhancement (0=no high signal/enhancement; 1=thin, symmetrical, mildly increased linear high signal present in the joint space; 2=focal, thick or intense enhancement). Associations between joint signal scores, age, gender and sacral apophyseal closure were analysed. RESULTS Increased signal on STIR (score 1-3) was present in 74.7% of pediatric sacroiliac joint spaces, as intense as fluid in 18.4%. There was no significant difference in proportion by gender, side or cohort, but girls showed peak signal earlier than boys (10 years old vs. 12 years old, respectively). On post-gadolinium T1-weighted sequences, a thin rim of increased signal was nearly universally seen in sacroiliac joint spaces without focal, intense or thick post-contrast enhancement. CONCLUSION Sacroiliac joint spaces of most children demonstrate mildly increased signal on STIR, compared to normal bone marrow, and thin rim-like enhancement on post-contrast T1 images, likely related to cartilage. These findings should not be confused with sacroiliitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is the most common monogenic autoinflammatory disease (AID) worldwide. The disease is caused by mutations in the MEFV gene encoding the inflammasome sensor Pyrin. Clinical diagnosis of FMF is complicated by overlap in symptoms with other diseases, and interpretation of genetic testing is confounded by the lack of a clear genotype-phenotype association for most of the 340 reported MEFV variants. In this study, the authors designed a functional assay and evaluated its potential in supporting FMF diagnosis. METHODS Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were obtained from patients with Pyrin-associated autoinflammation with an FMF phenotype (n=43) or with autoinflammatory features not compatible with FMF (n=8), 10 asymptomatic carriers and 48 healthy donors. Sera were obtained from patients with distinct AIDs (n=10), and whole blood from a subset of patients and controls. The clinical, demographic, molecular genetic factors and other characteristics of the patient population were assessed for their impact on the diagnostic test read-out. Interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 levels were measured by Luminex assay. RESULTS The ex vivo colchicine assay may be performed on whole blood or PBMC. The functional assay robustly segregated patients with FMF from healthy controls and patients with related clinical disorders. The diagnostic test distinguished patients with classical FMF mutations (M694V, M694I, M680I, R761H) from patients with other MEFV mutations and variants (K695R, P369S, R202Q, E148Q) that are considered benign or of uncertain clinical significance. CONCLUSION The ex vivo colchicine assay may support diagnosis of FMF and functional subtyping of Pyrin-associated autoinflammation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION & BACKGROUND Despite adequate management, 20% of children with overactive bladder (OAB) syndrome fail to improve their bladder function. To approach the need for alternative strategies, an inpatient bladder rehabilitation 'voiding school' program was established. OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate the short- and long-term (1-year follow-up) outcome of this voiding school program in children with refractory OAB. In addition, the authors aimed to identify which children achieved the best outcomes with this voiding school program. STUDY DESIGN The charts of all children (n = 357, mean age: 9.7 ± 2.0 years, 63.6% boys) with refractory OAB who attended voiding school between 2000 and 2010 were reviewed. A linear mixed model with random intercept was used to evaluate the incontinence (expressed by enuresis and daytime incontinence voiding scores) and maximal voiding volume (MVV). RESULTS & DISCUSSION This study demonstrated an overall beneficial long-term effect of the inpatient program on day- and night-time incontinence, in which 36.6% of children achieved dryness during day- and night-time. In addition, the mean overall decline in the number of wet nights and days declined with 4 extra dry days and/or nights per week, in comparison with the level of continence before attending the voiding school program. In contrast, only a temporary increase in MVV was seen, however, without relapse incontinence. At last, the authors identified the negative impact of decreasing age, male sex, dysfunctional voiding and nocturnal polyuria on the overall outcome of the inpatient program. CONCLUSION An inpatient rehabilitation 'voiding school' program is a successful and safe treatment modality for children with refractory OAB that results in long-term significant increase of continence, as well as amelioration in degree of severity. The worst outcomes of this voiding school program were detected in children with young age, who were boys, or had associated nocturnal polyuria, dysfunctional voiding, and/or faecal incontinence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic pain is central to juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and is predictive of impaired functioning. Whereas most work has focused on identifying psychosocial risk factors for maladaptive outcomes, we explored the idea that child and parental psychological flexibility (PF) represent resilience factors for adaptive functioning of the child. We also explored differences between general vs pain-specific PF in contributing to child outcomes. METHODS Children with JIA (age eight to 18 years) and (one of) their parents were recruited at the Department of Pediatric Rheumatology at the Ghent University Hospital in Belgium. They completed questionnaires assessing child and parent general and pain-specific PF and child psychosocial and emotional functioning and disability. RESULTS The final sample consisted of 59 children and 48 parents. Multiple regression analyses revealed that child PF contributed to better psychosocial functioning and less negative affect. Child pain acceptance contributed to better psychosocial functioning, lower levels of disability, and lower negative affect, and also buffered the negative influence of pain intensity on disability. Bootstrap mediation analyses demonstrated that parental (general) PF indirectly contributed to child psychosocial functioning and affect via the child's (general) PF. Parent pain-specific PF was indirectly linked to child psychosocial functioning, disability, and negative affect via child pain acceptance. CONCLUSIONS Our findings indicate that child and parental PF are resilience factors and that pain acceptance buffers the negative impact of pain intensity. Implications for psychosocial interventions that target (pain-specific) PF in children and parents are discussed.

Abstract
Hyperinflammatory syndromes are life-threatening disorders caused by overzealous immune cell activation and cytokine release, often resulting from defects in negative feedback mechanisms. In the quintessential hyperinflammatory syndrome familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), inborn errors of cytotoxicity result in effector cell accumulation, immune dysregulation and, if untreated, tissue damage and death. Here, we describe a human case with a homozygous nonsense R688* RC3H1 mutation suffering from hyperinflammation, presenting as relapsing HLH. RC3H1 encodes Roquin-1, a posttranscriptional repressor of immune-regulatory proteins such as ICOS, OX40 and TNF. Comparing the R688* variant with the murine M199R variant reveals a phenotypic resemblance, both in immune cell activation, hypercytokinemia and disease development. Mechanistically, R688* Roquin-1 fails to localize to P-bodies and interact with the CCR4-NOT deadenylation complex, impeding mRNA decay and dysregulating cytokine production. The results from this unique case suggest that impaired Roquin-1 function provokes hyperinflammation by a failure to quench immune activation. Roquin-1 is a posttranscriptional regulator that controls the expression of many immune-related genes such as ICOS and TNFA. Here, the authors report a homozygous R688* loss of function mutation in Roquin-1 in a patient with syndromic uncontrolled hyperinflammation associated with immune cell activation and hypercytokinemia.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Meningitis can be caused by several viruses and bacteria. Identifying the causative pathogen as quickly as possible is crucial to initiate the most optimal therapy, as acute bacterial meningitis is associated with a significant morbidity and mortality. Bacterial meningitis requires antibiotics, as opposed to enteroviral meningitis, which only requires supportive therapy. Clinical presentation is usually not sufficient to differentiate between viral and bacterial meningitis, thereby necessitating cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis by PCR and/or time-consuming bacterial cultures. However, collecting CSF in children is not always feasible and a rather invasive procedure. METHODS In 12 Belgian hospitals, we obtained acute blood samples from children with signs of meningitis (49 viral and 7 bacterial cases) (aged between 3 months and 16 years). After pathogen confirmation on CSF, the patient was asked to give a convalescent sample after recovery. 3' mRNA sequencing was performed to determine differentially expressed genes (DEGs) to create a host transcriptomic profile. RESULTS Enteroviral meningitis cases displayed the largest upregulated fold change enrichment in type I interferon production, response and signaling pathways. Patients with bacterial meningitis showed a significant upregulation of genes related to macrophage and neutrophil activation. We found several significantly DEGs between enteroviral and bacterial meningitis. Random forest classification showed that we were able to differentiate enteroviral from bacterial meningitis with an AUC of 0.982 on held-out samples. CONCLUSIONS Enteroviral meningitis has an innate immunity signature with type 1 interferons as key players. Our classifier, based on blood host transcriptomic profiles of different meningitis cases, is a possible strong alternative for diagnosing enteroviral meningitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To describe the 6-year safety and efficacy of etanercept (ETN) in children with extended oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (eoJIA), enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) METHODS: Patients who completed the 2-year, open-label, phase III CLinical Study In Pediatric Patients of Etanercept for Treatment of ERA, PsA, and Extended Oligoarthritis (CLIPPER) were allowed to enroll in its 8-year long-term extension (CLIPPER2). Children received ETN at a once-weekly dose of 0.8 mg/kg, up to a maximum dose of 50 mg/week. Efficacy assessments included the JIA core set of outcomes, the JIA American College of Rheumatology response criteria (JIA-ACR), and the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS). Efficacy data are reported as responder analyses using a hybrid method for missing data imputation and as observed cases. Safety assessments included treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs). RESULTS Out of 127 patients originally enrolled in CLIPPER, 109 (86%) entered CLIPPER2. After 6 years of trial participation (2 years in CLIPPER and 4 years in CLIPPER2), 41 (32%) patients were still taking ETN, 13 (11%) entered the treatment withdrawal phase after achieving low/inactive disease (of whom 7 had to restart ETN), 36 (28%) discontinued treatment for other reasons but are still being observed, and 37 (29%) discontinued treatment permanently. According to the hybrid imputation analysis, proportions of patients achieving JIA ACR90, JIA ACR100, and JADAS inactive disease after the initial 2 years of treatment were 58%, 48%, and 32%, respectively. After the additional 4 years, those proportions in patients who remained in the trial were 46%, 35%, and 24%. Most frequently reported TEAEs [n (%), events per 100 patient-years] were headache [28 (22%), 5.3], arthralgia [24 (19%), 4.6], and pyrexia [20 (16%), 3.8]. Number and frequency of TEAEs, excluding infections and injection site reactions, decreased over the 6-year period from 193 and 173.8, respectively, during year 1 to 37 and 61.3 during year 6. A single case of malignancy (Hodgkin's lymphoma) and no cases of active tuberculosis, demyelinating disorders, or deaths were reported. CONCLUSIONS Open-label etanercept treatment for up to 6 years was safe, well tolerated, and effective in patients with eoJIA, ERA, and PsA. TRIAL REGISTRATION ClinicalTrials.gov: CLIPPER, NCT00962741 , registered 20 August, 2009, CLIPPER2, NCT01421069 , registered 22 August, 2011.

Abstract
A 3-month-old boy presented with failure to thrive and a history of a prenatally detected unilateral hydroureteronephrosis which was confirmed after birth. His growth and developmental milestones had been normal during the first 2 months but in the third month his appetite was poor with reduced intake but no vomiting. At presentation, his temperature was normal, there was mild dehydration and there was weight loss (his weight had decreased by 270 g in the past month). Haemoglobin was 11.9 g/dL, total white cell count 20.2 × 109/L (7-15) [neutrophils 30% (39-75) and lymphocytes 61% (16-47)], platelets 702 × 109/L (150-450), BUN12.1 mmol/L (2.1-16.1), serum creatinine 35.4 μmol/L (15.0-37.1), sodium 126 mmol/L (135-144), potassium 6.8 mmol/L (3.6-4.8), chloride 88 mmol/L (98-106) and bicarbonate 14 mmol/L (19-24). Intravenous rehydration with sodium chloride 0.9% solution was commenced and he was transferred to the paediatric intensive care unit. A salt-wasting syndrome was suspected and a differential diagnosis included adrenal insufficiency, pseudohypoaldosteronism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia (owing to 21-hydroxylase deficiency). Urinalysis confirmed a urinary tract infection. Serum aldosterone was 3608 ng/dL (3.7-43.2), plasma renin activity > 38.9 pmol/L (<0.85), random cortisol 459 nmol/L (74-289), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) 6.01 pmol/L (1.32-6.60) and 17-hydroxyprogesterone 4.01 nmol/L (<3.2). Treatment of the urinary tract infection was followed by normalisation of serum electrolytes and other biochemical abnormalities, return of appetite and normal growth, which confirmed the diagnosis of transient pseudohypoaldosteronsim (TPHA). TPHA is discussed and insight provided to enable early recognition and adequate treatment of this rare clinical entity.

Abstract
The Juvenile Arthritis Multidimensional Assessment Report (JAMAR) is a new parent/patient reported outcome measure that enables a thorough assessment of the disease status in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We report the results of the cross-cultural adaptation and validation of the parent and patient versions of the JAMAR in the Flemish language. The reading comprehension of the questionnaire was tested in 10 JIA parents and patients. Each participating centre was asked to collect demographic, clinical data and the JAMAR in 100 consecutive JIA patients or all consecutive patients seen in a 6-month period and to administer the JAMAR to 100 healthy children and their parents. The statistical validation phase explored descriptive statistics and the psychometric issues of the JAMAR: the 3 Likert assumptions, floor/ceiling effects, internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha, interscale correlations, test-retest reliability, and construct validity (convergent and discriminant validity). A total of 100 JIA patients (8% systemic, 33% oligoarticular, 24% RF negative polyarthritis, 35% other categories) and 99 healthy children, were enrolled in two centres. The JAMAR components discriminated well healthy subjects from JIA patients. All JAMAR components revealed good psychometric performances. In conclusion, the Flemish version of the JAMAR is a valid tool for the assessment of children with JIA and is suitable for use both in routine clinical practice and clinical research.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Assessment of Spondyloarthritis International Society (ASAS) definition for a 'positive' Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) for sacroiliitis is well studied and validated in adults, but studies about the value of this definition in children are lacking. The aim of this study is to evaluate whether the adult ASAS definition of a positive MRI of the sacroiliac joints can be applied to children with a clinical suspicion of Juvenile Spondyloarthritis (JSpA). METHODS Two pediatric musculoskeletal radiologists blinded to clinical data independently retrospectively reviewed sacroiliac (SI) joint MRI in 109 children suspected of sacroiliitis. They recorded global impression (sacroiliitis yes/no) and whether the adult ASAS definition for sacroiliitis was met at each joint. This was compared to gold-standard clinical diagnosis of JSpA. Additionally, MRI were scored according to'adapted' ASAS definitions including other features of sacroiliitis on MRI. RESULTS JSpA was diagnosed clinically in 47/109 (43%) patients. On MRI, sacroiliitis was diagnosed by global assessment in 30/109 patients, of whom 14 also fulfilled ASAS criteria. No patients with negative global assessment for sacroiliitis fulfilled ASAS criteria. Sensitivity (SN) for JSpA was higher for global assessment (SN = 49%) than for ASAS definition (SN = 26%), but the ASAS definition was more specific (SP = 97% vs. 89%). Modifying adult ASAS criteria to allow bone marrow edema (BME) lesions seen on only one slice, synovitis or capsulitis, increased SN to 36%, 32% and 32% respectively, only slightly lowering SP. Including structural lesions increased SN to 28%, but lowered specificity to 95%. CONCLUSION The adult ASAS definition for sacroiliitis has low sensitivity in children. A pediatric-specific definition of MRI-positive sacroiliitis including BME lesions visible on one slice only, synovitis and/or capsulitis may improve diagnostic utility, and increase relevance of MRI in pediatric rheumatology practice.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To determine the prevalence and diagnostic value of pelvic enthesitis on MRI of the sacroiliac (SI) joints in enthesitis related arthritis (ERA). METHODS We retrospectively studied 143 patients aged 6-18 years old who underwent MRI of the SI joints for clinically suspected sacroiliitis between 2006-2014. Patients were diagnosed with ERA according to the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria. All MRI studies were reassessed for the presence of pelvic enthesitis, which was correlated to the presence of sacroiliitis on MRI and to the final clinical diagnosis. The added value for detection of pelvic enthesitis and fulfilment of criteria for the diagnosis of ERA was studied. RESULTS Pelvic enthesitis was seen in 23 of 143 (16 %) patients. The most commonly affected sites were the entheses around the hip (35 % of affected entheses) and the retroarticular interosseous ligaments (32 % of affected entheses). MRI showed pelvic enthesitis in 21 % of patients with ERA and in 13 % of patients without ERA. Pelvic enthesitis was seen on MRI in 7/51 (14 %) patients with clinically evident enthesitis, and 16/92 (17 %) patients without clinically evident enthesitis. In 7 of 11 ERA-negative patients without clinical enthesitis but with pelvic enthesitis on MRI, the ILAR criteria could have been fulfilled, if pelvic enthesitis on MRI was included in the criteria. There is a high correlation between pelvic enthesitis and sacroiliitis, with sacroiliitis present in 17/23 (74 %) patients with pelvic enthesitis. CONCLUSIONS Pelvic enthesitis may be present in children with or without clinically evident peripheral enthesitis. There is a high correlation between pelvic enthesitis and sacroiliitis on MRI of the sacroiliac joints in children. As pelvic enthesitis indicates active inflammation, it may play a role in assessment of the inflammatory status. Therefore, it should be carefully sought and noted by radiologists examining MRI of the sacroiliac joints in children.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to determine the added diagnostic value of contrast-enhanced (CE) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) compared to routine non contrast-enhanced MRI to detect active sacroiliitis in clinically juvenile spondyloarthritis (JSpA). MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 80 children clinically suspected for sacroiliitis prospectively underwent MRI of the sacroiliac (SI) joints. Axial and coronal T1-weighted (T1), Short-tau inversion recovery (STIR) and fat-saturated T1-weighted gadolinium-DTPA (Gd) contrast-enhanced (T1/Gd) sequences were obtained. The presence of bone marrow edema (BME), capsulitis, enthesitis, high intra-articular STIR signal, synovial enhancement and a global diagnostic impression of the MRI for diagnosis of sacroiliitis was recorded. RESULTS STIR and T1/Gd sequences had 100% agreement for depiction of BME, capsulitis and enthesitis. High intra-articular STIR signal was seen in 18/80 (22.5%) patients, 15 (83%) of whom also showed synovial enhancement in the T1/Gd sequence. Sensitivity (SN) and specificity (SP) for a clinical diagnosis of JSpA were similar for high STIR signal (SN = 33%, SP = 85%) and T1/Gd synovial enhancement (SN = 36%, SP = 92%). Positive likelihood ratio (LR+) for JSpA was twice as high for synovial enhancement than high STIR signal (4.5 compared to 2.2). Global diagnostic impression was similar (STIR: SN = 55%, SP = 87%, LR + =4 .2; T1/Gd: SN = 55%, SP = 92%, LR + = 6.9). CONCLUSION MRI without contrast administration is sufficient to identify bone marrow edema, capsulitis and retroarticular enthesitis as features of active sacroiliitis in juvenile spondyloarthritis. In selected cases when high STIR signal in the joint is the only finding, gadolinium-enhanced images may help to confirm the presence of synovitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs) are the serologic hallmark of ANCA-associated primary small-vessel vasculitides (AAVs), but these antibodies have also been described in other autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel diseases. Furthermore, different drugs are linked to the induction of ANCA, including propylthiouracil (PTU). However progression into clinical overt vasculitis is less common. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT We describe the case of a young girl with Graves' disease presenting with fatigue, fever, episcleritis and arthritis. The unexpected double myeloperoxidase/proteinase 3-ANCA positivity triggered a multidisciplinary diagnostic work-up and resulted in the diagnosis of a clinically overt PTU-induced AAV. After PTU-withdrawal and treatment with high-dose corticosteroids, a favorable clinical and biochemical evolution was obtained. CONCLUSIONS The use of PTU in the management of hyperthyroidism is not considered first-line treatment in Europe and is even less commonly used in children. Nevertheless, pediatricians should be aware of the possibility of PTU-induced AAV, especially in the presence of multiple ANCA reactivities. Therefore, the use of this drug should be weighed carefully in children.

Abstract
Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an autoinflammatory bone disease of unknown etiology, most commonly affecting the metaphysis of long bones, especially the tibia, femur and clavicle. The clinical spectrum varies from self-limited uni-or multi-focal lesions to chronic recurrent courses. Diagnosis is based on clinical, radiologic and pathological findings, is probably underdiagnosed due to poor recognition of the disease. A dysregulated innate immunity causes immune cell infiltration of the bones with subsequent osteoclast activation leading to sterile bone lesions. The molecular pathophyiology is still incompletely understood but association with other auto-inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), psoriasis, Wegener's disease, arthritis and synovitis, acne, pustulosis, hyperostosis and osteitis (SAPHO) syndrome is interesting. CRMO can precede the symptoms of the associated disease by several years. The bone remodeling caused by CRMO can cause permanent disability. We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with CRMO in association with Crohn's disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the efficacy and safety of etanercept (ETN) in paediatric subjects with extended oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (eoJIA), enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), or psoriatic arthritis (PsA). METHODS CLIPPER is an ongoing, Phase 3b, open-label, multicentre study; the 12-week (Part 1) data are reported here. Subjects with eoJIA (2-17 years), ERA (12-17 years), or PsA (12-17 years) received ETN 0.8 mg/kg once weekly (maximum 50 mg). Primary endpoint was the percentage of subjects achieving JIA American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 30 criteria at week 12; secondary outcomes included JIA ACR 50/70/90 and inactive disease. RESULTS 122/127 (96.1%) subjects completed the study (mean age 11.7 years). JIA ACR 30 (95% CI) was achieved by 88.6% (81.6% to 93.6%) of subjects overall; 89.7% (78.8% to 96.1%) with eoJIA, 83.3% (67.2% to 93.6%) with ERA and 93.1% (77.2% to 99.2%) with PsA. For eoJIA, ERA, or PsA categories, the ORs of ETN vs the historical placebo data were 26.2, 15.1 and 40.7, respectively. Overall JIA ACR 50, 70, 90 and inactive disease were achieved by 81.1, 61.5, 29.8 and 12.1%, respectively. Treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs), infections, and serious AEs, were reported in 45 (35.4%), 58 (45.7%), and 4 (3.1%), subjects, respectively. Serious AEs were one case each of abdominal pain, bronchopneumonia, gastroenteritis and pyelocystitis. One subject reported herpes zoster and another varicella. No differences in safety were observed across the JIA categories. CONCLUSIONS ETN treatment for 12 weeks was effective and well tolerated in paediatric subjects with eoJIA, ERA and PsA, with no unexpected safety findings.

Abstract
PURPOSE Desmopressin is a standard treatment for monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Different formulations are promoted as bioequivalent, although these claims are not supported by comparative pharmacodynamic data in children. Food interaction is known to influence the bioavailability of desmopressin. We compared the pharmacodynamics of the 2 most frequently used desmopressin formulations, tablet and lyophilizate, with a standardized meal, allowing extrapolation to clinical reality, where the interval between evening meal and medication intake is limited for school-age children. We hypothesized there would be a faster pharmacodynamic response, and greater concentrating and antidiuretic activity for the fast dissolving (melt) formulation compared to the tablet with simultaneous food intake. MATERIALS AND METHODS Two tests were performed on separate days in identical standardized conditions, starting with a 15 ml/kg water load. After achieving maximal diluting capacity a standardized meal was administered, followed by desmopressin tablet (t test) or melt (M-test). Diuresis rate and urinary osmolality were measured hourly. Paired data from 4 girls and 15 boys with a mean age of 12.1 years were obtained. RESULTS In the early response phase more than 25% of patients had a higher diuresis rate with tablet vs melt formulation, reaching statistical significance in the plateau phase (urine collected at hours 3 to 5, p <0.02) and in duration of action (urine collected at hours 5 to 8, p <0.005). For desmopressin melt smaller standard deviations in diuresis rate were remarkable. Concentrating capacity demonstrated no significant differences between formulations in the early response phase, in contrast to the plateau phase (p <0.036) and duration of action (p <0.001). CONCLUSIONS With meal combination desmopressin melt formulation has a superior pharmacodynamic profile to tablet, making it more suitable for the younger age group with a limited interval between meal and drug administration.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of criteria designed for spondyloarthritis in a university hospital treated population of children with late onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis and a control population. METHODS Four sets of criteria especially designed for juvenile patients: Garmisch-Partenkirchen juvenile spondylitis criteria (= Garmisch), SEA (=seronegative enthesopathy and arthritis) syndrome, Enthesitis Related Arthritis (ERA), Atypical spondyloarthritis for children and two sets of criteria for patients without age specification (European spondyloarthropathy Study Group - ESSG and Amor) were evaluated in a cross-sectional way in a group of 43 consecutive patients with late onset pauciarticular juvenile chronic arthritis (LOPA) seen over a six-month period in the outpatient clinic. These criteria were analysed in 69 patients with other forms of juvenile chronic arthritis as well. The sensitivity and specificity were calculated for each set, as well as positive predictive value and likelihood ratio. The characteristics described in the different sets of criteria were separately evaluated in the LOPA patients and the other patients. RESULTS For sensitivity, the Garmisch criteria scored the highest value (97.7%). However, sensitivity was significantly lower in two of the juvenile sets (SEA syndrome and Atypical spondyloarthritis), respectively 44.2% and 51.2%, as opposed to the other criteria (>85%; p<0.01 by Mc Nemar test). Specificity and positive predictive value (PPV) was the highest for the SEA syndrome criteria (98.5%, vs. 95.0%) followed by the ERA (95.6 % vs. 92.1 %) and the Garmisch criteria (94.2% vs. 91.3%). The positive likelihood ratio (LR+) was >10 in SEA (30.5), ERA (18.7) and Garmisch (16.8). The negative likelihood ratio (LR-) was <0.1 only in the Garmisch criteria (0.02). CONCLUSION Sensitivity, specificity, PPV, LR+ and LR- for the Garmisch-Partenkirchen criteria suggest that they classify almost the same population as defined by LOPA. The SEA syndrome criteria, which were not designed to be classification criteria, being very specific, cannot be used in this patient population to classify a sufficient number of patients. The sensitivity and specificity for the ESSG criteria being similar in these children as in adults suggest they have similar characteristics. The Garmisch-Partenkirchen criteria and/or LOPA definition are major candidates for future research in identifying spondyloarthritis in juvenile patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE With the availability of the once daily oral antimuscarinic agent solifenacin (5 mg), we started to use it for therapy resistant overactive bladder. We evaluate side effects and efficacy. MATERIAL AND METHODS We reviewed the charts of children treated with solifenacin succinate between August 2005 and August 2008 for therapy resistant OAB. Incontinence was compared at study entry and study end. RESULTS During the study period 84 boys and 54 girls with a mean age of 9 years 2 months received solifenacin. Mean followup was 22.59 months. While on solifenacin, side effects were observed in 9 of 138 patients (6.5%). Efficacy evaluation included only 99 patients after 3 months of therapy. Mean voided volume after treatment was 253.5 ml, showing a significant 25% increase compared to the mean value before therapy (50.5 vs 203.0 ml, p <0.01). Of the patients 84 (85%) were considered responders, including 45 who were completely dry (full response) and 39 who had fewer nocturnal enuresis or diurnal incontinence symptoms (partial response). Of these 39 patients 17 became dry during the day, 1 became dry during the night and 21 had more than a 50% decrease in nocturnal enuresis and diurnal incontinence symptoms. In 15 patients the outcome was unchanged or worse (no response). CONCLUSION In this group of children with OAB we noted favorable results with solifenacin with few side effects. Despite the uncontrolled, retrospective study design the effect is attributable to solifenacin intake.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate differences in clinical signs and symptoms, and in antinuclear antibodies (ANA), between patients with juvenile-onset and adult-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). METHODS Clinical and serological data of 56 patients with juvenile-onset SLE were compared with data of 194 patients with adult-onset SLE. ANA were determined by line immunoassay and by indirect immunofluorescence on Crithidia luciliae. RESULTS Renal involvement, encephalopathy and haemolytic anaemia were seen, and anti-dsDNA, anti-ribosomal P and antihistone antibodies found, significantly more often in juvenile-onset SLE. Anti-dsDNA antibodies were directly associated, and anti-ribosomal P antibodies inversely associated, with renal involvement in juvenile-onset SLE. In juvenile patients with SLE and anti-dsDNA and without anti-ribosomal P antibodies the odds ratio for glomerulonephritis was 9.00; no patients with anti-ribosomal P but without anti-dsDNA had renal involvement. CONCLUSION Patients with juvenile-onset SLE more often have renal involvement and encephalopathy than patients with adult-onset SLE. Anti-ribosomal P, anti-dsDNA and antihistone antibodies are more often found in patients with juvenile-onset SLE.

Abstract
PURPOSE Primary nocturnal enuresis is a heterogeneous disorder, causing a mismatch between overnight diuresis volume and functional bladder capacity. Despite increasing insights in pathogenesis, lack of efficacy of the available treatments is a major problem. We evaluated characteristics of bladder volume and diuresis rate in patients with nocturnal enuresis referred to a tertiary enuresis center. MATERIALS AND METHODS Noninvasive screening including maximal voided volume, 24-hour circadian rhythm of diuresis and osmotic excretion from 1,000 consecutive patients. RESULTS Of the patients referred as having monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis 32% were subsequently classified as having nonmonosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis. Differences in bladder volume and nocturnal diuresis characteristics between the monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis and nonmonosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis groups were minimal. CONCLUSIONS The most common observation is a nocturnal diuresis volume greater than maximal voided volume, which in both groups can be caused by nocturnal polyuria or small bladder volume for patient age. The most striking observation is that the positive correlation between nocturnal diuresis volume rate and nocturnal osmotic excretion and 24-hour fluid intake is significantly higher than with the inversed urinary osmolality overnight, which is not only unexpected based on the theory of the primary suppression of vasopressin levels overnight, but also points to a more important role for nutritional and fluid intake than accepted, if not in the primary pathogenesis, then at least in therapy resistance.

Abstract
PURPOSE The anti-incontinence effect of desmopressin resides in its concentrating capacity and antidiuretic properties. We compared nighttime urine production on wet and dry nights in a highly selected study population of children with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis associated with proved nocturnal polyuria who responded only partially to intranasal desmopressin. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 39 home recordings of nocturnal urine production and maximum voided volume in children 7 to 19 years old (median 8.9) with monosymptomatic nocturnal enuresis with nocturnal polyuria who had a partial response to desmopressin. Nocturnal diuresis volume and maximum voided volume were documented at baseline (14 days) and during 3 months of followup. RESULTS Baseline nocturnal urine output (439 +/- 39 ml) was significantly higher than the maximum voided volume (346 +/- 93 ml, p <0.01). During desmopressin treatment nocturnal urine output on wet nights (405 +/- 113 ml) differed significantly from that on dry nights (241 +/- 45 ml). During treatment nocturnal urine output on wet nights did not differ from baseline values. CONCLUSIONS Persistence of nocturnal polyuria on wet nights in partial desmopressin responders may be related to an insufficient antidiuretic effect. In addition to poor compliance and suboptimal dosing, the poor bioavailability of intranasal desmopressin may be a pathogenic factor. Further prospective studies are needed.

Abstract
We investigated the role of the child's pain catastrophizing in explaining (1) children's self-reported tendency to verbally share their pain experience with others and (2) different dimensions of pain expression, as described by the mother and the father, including non-verbal and verbal communicative pain behaviour and protective pain behaviour. Participants were school children, children with chronic or recurrent pain, and their parents. The results showed that: (1) Pain catastrophizing was associated with children's greater self-acknowledged tendency to verbally share their pain experience with others. (2) Mothers and fathers perceived highly catastrophizing children to be more communicative about their pain. (3) The role of pain catastrophizing in the child's verbal sharing of pain experiences and in explaining expressive behaviour as rated by parents did not differ between the school children and children with recurrent and chronic pain. (4) Nevertheless, findings indicated marked differences between school children and the clinical sample. Children of the clinical sample experienced more severe pain, more pain catastrophizing, more protective pain behaviour, but less verbal communications about their pain. These results further corroborate the position that catastrophic thoughts about pain have interpersonal consequences. Findings are discussed in terms of the possible functions and effects upon others of pain catastrophizing and associated categories of pain behaviour.

Abstract
PURPOSE In a subgroup of children with enuresis an increase in nighttime water and solute excretion has been documented. To investigate if modifications in renal function are involved in nocturnal enuresis, we assessed circadian variation in natriuresis and tubular sodium handling in polyuric hypercalciuric children. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 10 children with proved hypercalciuria and nocturnal polyuria and 10 age matched controls were included in the study. A 24-hour urine collection was performed in 8 sampling periods for measurement of urinary sodium excretion. Segmental tubular sodium transport was investigated during a daytime oral water load test and calculated according to standardized clearance methodology. RESULTS The children with enuresis showed a marked increase in the fractional excretion of sodium during the night (0.93% +/- 0.36%), while daytime sodium excretion was decreased (0.84% +/- 0.23%). Analysis of segmental tubular sodium transport revealed decreased delivery of sodium to distal tubule (C(H2O) + C(Na) = 10.7 ml/100 ml glomerular filtration rate), indicating increased proximal tubular sodium reabsorption but also stimulation of distal sodium reabsorption as demonstrated by increased fractional distal sodium reabsorption (92.9% +/- 2.2%, controls 90.5% +/- 2.9%). Increased distal reabsorption was associated with increased fractional potassium excretion (17.5% +/- 2.7%, controls 13.6% +/- 6.4%), indicating increased distal tubular sodium/potassium exchange. CONCLUSIONS No intrinsic defect in renal tubular sodium transport was found, but during the day increased sodium reabsorption in proximal and distal tubules was observed, suggesting extrarenal factors to be involved in altered circadian variation in solute and water excretion by the kidney.

Abstract
PURPOSE We determined the effect of detrusor injection of botulinum-A toxin in a cohort of children with therapy resistant non-neurogenic detrusor overactivity. This prospective study included therapy resistant children with overactive bladder. MATERIAL AND METHODS During the study period of 19 months 10 boys and 11 girls were included. All patients showed decreased bladder capacity for age, urge and urge incontinence. Main treatment duration before inclusion was 45 months. A dose of 100 U botulinum-A toxin (Botox) was injected in the detrusor. RESULTS Side effects were evaluated in all 21 included patients. The side effects reported were 10-day temporary urinary retention in 1 girl and signs of vesicoureteral reflux with flank pain during voiding in 1 boy, which disappeared spontaneously after 2 weeks. No further examinations were done since the boy refused. Two girls experienced 1 episode each of symptomatic lower urinary tract infection. Eight girls and 7 boys with a minimum followup of 6 months represent the study group for long-term evaluation. In this study group after 1 injection 9 patients showed full response (no more urge and dry during the day) with a mean increase in bladder capacity from 167 to 271 ml (p <0.001). Three patients showed a partial response (50% decrease in urge and incontinence) and 3 remained unchanged. Eight of the 9 full responders were still cured after 12 months, while 1 of the initially successfully treated patients had relapse after 8 months. The 3 partial responders and the patient with relapse underwent a second injection with a full response in the former full responder and in 1 partial responder. CONCLUSIONS Botulinum-A toxin injection in children with non-neurogenic overactive detrusor is an excellent treatment adjunct, leading to long-term results in 70% after 1 injection.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Anticitrullinated protein/peptide antibodies (ACPA) have an excellent diagnostic performance for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Despite similarities between RA and polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), the prevalence of ACPA in polyarticular JIA is low. We wanted to evaluate the influence of age, disease duration and total immunoglobulin G (IgG) concentration on ACPA positivity in this cohort. METHODS Patients with JIA were classified according to age and International League of Associations for Rheumatology classification. Sixty-one JIA patients aged less than 16 yr were included and classified as polyarticular JIA (poly JIA <16; n=23) or non-polyarticular JIA (n=38). In addition, a group of 21 polyarticular JIA patients, aged more than 16 yr (poly JIA >16) and a group of 51 RA patients were included. Antibodies to the synthetic citrullinated peptides pepA and pepB were detected by line immunoassay and antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (CCP2) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Serum IgG was measured by fixed-time immunonephelometry. RESULTS No ACPA reactivity was observed in the non-polyarticular group. In poly JIA <16, only 1/23 had anti-CCP2 antibody, whereas in poly JIA >16 patients a significantly higher fraction was detected (6/21). All but one of the anti-CCP2 reactive patients were rheumatoid factor (RF) positive. Assessing anti-CCP2 antibody concentration as a continuous variable, significantly higher titres were found in poly JIA >16 compared with poly JIA <16. No correlation between anti-CCP2 concentration and total IgG was detected. Four patients demonstrated immunoreactivity against pepA and pepB; all of them were anti-CCP2 reactive, poly JIA >16 patients. CONCLUSIONS ACPA are present in low prevalence in polyarticular JIA and are particularly found in the RF-positive subset. With age, a significant increase in anti-CCP2 positivity is observed in polyarticular JIA patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE During a study period of 4 years, 21 children are seen for night time pelvic pain. These children typical wake up in the middle of the night with severe lower abdominal or perineal pain. During day some of them suffer urge syndrome. During urodynamic investigation extremely high pelvic floor activity as recorded by high urethral pressure was observed in these children. We therefore started pelvic floor relaxation biofeedback in these children. METHODS All children diagnosed with pelvic floor spasms underwent biofeedback pelvic floor relaxation therapy in order to learn them to counteract pelvic pain due to these spasms. In those girls in whom detrusor hyperactivity was seen on urodynamics concomitant anticholinergic treatment was given (oxybutynin). RESULTS Between January 1998 and January 2002 symptomatic pelvic floor spasms were diagnosed in 21 children (19 girls/2 boys). Pelvic floor relaxation biofeedback was successful for treatment of this condition in 17 of 21 children. Mean duration of therapy was 3 months (12 weekly sessions) and on long term follow-up relapse was seen in 3 of 17 successfully treated children. 10 of 17 successfully treated children received anticholinergics. CONCLUSION Pelvic floor spasms in children (which can be secondary to detrusor overactivity) respond well to pelvic floor relaxation therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the efficacy and tolerability of tolterodine in children with an overactive bladder, treated in a single incontinence centre. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective analysis of a database of a total of two hundred and fifty-six patients (175 boys and 81 girls, age range 3 years to 17 years, mean age 8.33 years) with urodynamically confirmed bladder overactivity was performed. All children received tolterodine tartrate (dose range of 0.5-4 mg orally). In group I (n=205) tolterodine tartrate replaced anticholinergic drugs (AC) (oxybutinin chloride or oxyphencyclimin hydrochloride). A subgroup of patients switched because of intolerance due to serious adverse events (60.4%) or because of lack of improvement in micturition variables (39.6%). In group II tolterodine was prescribed as initial therapy (n=51). Tolerability was assessed by a standardised questionnaire on adverse events at every outdoor clinic visit. Efficacy assessment was based on micturition diary variables, mean change of maximum bladder capacity and number of incontinence episodes/24 h. RESULTS The mean treatment time was 9.32 months with a range from 1.5 months to 23.4 months. The final dose was 0.1mg/kg orally daily divided into two doses. In group I central nervous system disorders (81%) were the most common adverse events, 26.2% showed flushing, 12.2% accommodation problems and 25.2% had gastrointestinal complaints (constipation, encopresis, abdominal pain). Withdrawal of the non-selective antimuscarinic drug resulted in total recovery from adverse events. Introduction of tolterodine in group I and II caused no serious adverse events. Nine patients (3.5%) reported side-effects and only two discontinued treatment. There were no reports of flushing, troubles of visual accommodation, hyperpyrexia. In group I we observed a mean decrease in urgency by 38.7%, a mean increase in maximal bladder capacity by 33.6% and the number of incontinence episodes decreased by 64.8%. In group II we observed equivalent values with a significant (p<0.001) change in maximal bladder capacity (49.7%), incontinence episodes (64.8%) and micturition episodes/24 h. CONCLUSIONS The results of this retrospective analysis suggest that tolterodine is well tolerated in children and offers an effective treatment for urinary symptoms due to overactive bladder. Tolterodine is superior to non-selective antimuscarinic drugs, with respect to adverse events, allowing more compliance and more effective treatment in children.

Abstract
Peritoneal dialysis (PD) solutions with amino acids (AAs) were developed as an alternative to glucose-based PD solutions for chronic renal failure. Although AA solution has many theoretical advantages, the results reported in the literature are still not convincing. Treatment of ARF is a complex problem. To tackle it, we investigated a PD solution based on a mixture of Nutrineal (Baxter Healthcare SA, Castlebar, Ireland) and Dianeal (Baxter Healthcare SA), mixed on the heating plate of the PAC Xtra cycler (Baxter Healthcare SA). The resulting solution was expected to lower the glucose load without affecting dialysis adequacy. We retrospectively analyzed data in children treated with the mixture, and evaluated safety, dialysis adequacy, acidosis, and nutritional state (albumin). Glucose reabsorption and protein losses were significantly lower when mixed AA-glucose solution was used. Despite significant AA absorption in the patients, we observed no significant difference in plasma albumin levels. Reabsorption from the dialysate of AAs varied between 21% and 69%, resulting in 27% +/- 12% of daily AA intake. Reabsorption of glucose from the dialysate was 32% - 72%. In children in intensive care, who are often already very sensitive, an AA-containing mixture may help to control glycemia, subsequently reducing the need for insulin. Our data demonstrate that the calculated percentage reabsorption of glucose and AAs is high and that AA levels in plasma remain stable. Although our data do not demonstrate a potential influence on final outcome, they demonstrate the feasibility and safety of using combined AA-glucose solution, with a calculated resorption that lends nutritional support.

Abstract
The aim of peritoneal dialysis (PD) remains to deliver "appropriate" renal replacement therapy, including sufficient ultrafiltration, correction of acid-base balance, and adequate dialysis dose. We switched our pediatric patients on automated PD from standard lactate-buffered glucose solution (Dianeal: Baxter Healthcare SA, Castlebar, Ireland) to bicarbonate/lactate-buffered solution (Physioneal: Baxter Healthcare SA) as soon as it became available in our country. We also decided to deliver "optimal" dialysis in children by prescribing a long daytime dwell with icodextrin solution (Extraneal: Baxter Healthcare SA). But, adding those three benefits together--APD, Physioneal, and a long dwell with icodextrin--the result, at least in children, was a possible overcorrection of acidosis and an evolution to alkalosis. Thought must be given to developing solutions with varying bicarbonate concentrations for various treatment modalities.
