Durability of response to intra-articular corticosteroid injections with triamcinolone hexacetonide in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

چکیده
Methods A retrospective chart review was conducted of all JIA patients who received IACI from 6/05 to 3/10, and had at least six months of follow-up. Data collected included demographic information, JIA subtype, date of injection and arthritis flare, type of joint injected and concomitant medications. Any joint that did not flare by the study end date in 9/10 was censored. Time to flare of arthritis was calculated based on the Kaplan-Meier product limit estimator. Two-sided log-rank test was conducted to compare the time to flare within each characteristic group: joints, diagnosis, medications. All analysis in this study was performed using SAS 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc, Cary, NC).

A reappraisal of intra-articular corticosteroid therapy in juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Intraarticular corticosteroid (IAC) injection is a safe and rapidly effective treatment for synovitis in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). This procedure can be performed in an ambulatory care setting using local anaesthesia, with or without conscious sedation. Younger children, or those candidate to multiple injections, require general anaesthesia. Triamcinolone hexacetonide i...

Background Intra articular injections are an effective and widely used technique that involes the direct application of a corticosteroid compound such as triamcinalone hexacetonide into a joint with active synovitis. Local IAIs can avoid many of the unwanted adverse effects of sytemic steroids but in children younger than 11 years or those with a polyarticular presentation a general anaesthetic...
متن کاملIntra-articular corticosteroid injections to the temporomandibular joints are safe and appear to be effective therapy in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intra-articular corticosteroid injections (IACIs) of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) when administered by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon without imaging guidance. MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a retrospective study of children with JIA, seen at a single cente...
متن کاملEffects of corticosteroids and local anaesthetics applied directly to the synovial vascular bed.
The effects of intra-articular injection of triamcinolone hexacetonide on the rate of clearance of radioactive xenon (133Xe) was studied in 11 patients with rheumatoid arthritis. No effect of the corticosteroid injection was observed, which suggests that the drug has no immediate effect on synovial blood vessels.

Glucocorticoid (GC) drugs are the most potent anti-inflammatory agents available for the treatment of paediatric rheumatic diseases. These medications are used for the management of extra-articular features of systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis and are the mainstay of therapy in children with juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, juvenile dermatomyositis, and systemic vasculitis. The gener...
