چکیده
Aim To assess the impact of ET on growth pattern in Greek JIA patients who had a resistant polyor an oligoarthritis. Methods: Data of 24 JIA patients (F:M 19:5, 20/24 with a polyarthritis) who had received ET at a median age of 6.7 yrs (1.9-14.5 yrs) escorted by their auxological parameters were collected. Standard Deviation Scores for Height (HSDS) and Body Mass Index (BMISDS) were calculated according to sexand agematched percentiles of the healthy Greek population, 2 and 1 yrs pre-ET treatment, and 1 and 2 yrs thereafter. Growth velocity was defined as the change in Height SDS (ΔHSDS) and in BMI (ΔBMISDS) and compared to the time of ET initiation (baseline).
