AB0765 PHENOTYPES OF BEHCET’S DISEASE IN DIFFERENT ETHNIC GROUPS

Background: Early diagnosis and identification of predominant organ system involvement in Behcet’s disease (BD) is crucial for identifying most optimal treatment. The study evaluates 6 described phenotypes BD - cutaneous-mucous, articular, ophthalmic, vascular, neurological intestinal different ethnic groups. Objectives: To assess the occurrence Methods: included 202 patients with from 5 common male-female ratio was 2.4:1. Patients’ mean age 31 years [24;37], at onset 21 [15;28]; duration 7 [3;14]. severity (mild, moderate severe) assessed based on I. Krause’s Clinical Severity Scoring BD. Results: Severe more often diagnosed Azerbaijanis indigenous residents Dagestan compared to Russians (75 70.4% vs. 36.2%), Armenians 50% Chechens 54.5% out all cases. were significantly likely have a phenotype (15.5% 0-9.4% other groups) (36.2% 13.8-22.7 groups). demonstrated higher prevalence ocular (68.7% versus 36.2% Russians, Armenians, 57% Dagestanis). Dagestanis vascular (40.7% 15.6% 18.9% Russians). male/female among Russian 1:1, 4.4:1, 3.5:1, 2.6: 1. Conclusion: vary demonstrate significant association patient’s affiliation therefore, ethnicity should be viewed as prognostic marker specific organ-system case disease.
