ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To investigate differences in autoantibodies, clinical features, and long-term outcomes between juvenile-idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) and adult-IIMMETHODS:
Autoantibodies, clinical characteristics, and drug-free conditions for a maximum of 20 years were retrospectively analyzed in 320 Japanese IIM patients (juvenile-IIM, n = 34; adult-IIM, n = 286) using the Kyoto University Registry.RESULTS:
Autoantibodies observed in juvenile-IIM were anti-TIF1-γ (15 %), anti-MDA-5 (15 %), anti-ARS (9 %), and anti-NXP-2 (6 %). Those observed in adult-IIM were anti-ARS (32 %), anti-MDA-5 (23 %), anti-TIF1-γ (8 %), anti-SRP (8 %), anti-Mi-2 (2 %), and anti-NXP-2 (1 %). The cumulative drug-free condition rate was higher in juvenile-IIM than in adult-IIM up to 20 years (juvenile-IIM vs. adult-IIM, 34 % vs. 18 %, p = 0.0016). Anti-TIF1-γ was associated with lesser muscle symptoms (60 % vs. 90 %), malignancy (0 % vs. 57 %), and glucocorticoid use (40 % vs. 86 %) in juvenile-IIM compared to adult-IIM, while juvenile-IIM more achieved drug-free conditions (60 % vs. 25 %). Both juvenile-IIM and adult-IIM with anti-MDA-5 demonstrated a high frequency of amyopathic dermatomyositis, interstitial lung disease (ILD), and multi-immunosuppressive therapy, with high drug-free conditions (50 % vs. 49 %). Both juvenile-IIM and adult-IIM with anti-ARS showed frequent skin rashes, muscle symptoms, and ILD, frequent need for multi-immunosuppressive therapy, and low drug-free condition rates (0 % vs. 3 %). Both juvenile-IIM and adult-IIM with anti-NXP-2 showed frequent skin rashes and muscle symptoms, low ILD frequency, and frequent use of methotrexate and glucocorticoids, which did not achieve drug-free conditions (0 % vs. 0 %).CONCLUSIONS:
Drug-free condition was achieved more frequently in juvenile-IIM patients than adult-IIM patients. Specific autoantibodies were associated with different clinical characteristics and outcomes between juvenile-IIM and adult-IIM.
