Abstract Background Enthesitis related arthritis (ERA) is a subgroup of juvenile idiopathic arthritis. It is characterized by the presence of enthesitis and predominately lower limb arthritis and can affect sacroiliac joint and spine. Recent studies showed that ERA is associated with worse physical status and poorer quality of life (1). The main objective of this study was to compare the aspects of functional status in patients (ERA) and patients with spondyloarthritis (SpA). Methods A retrospective monocentric study was carried out on patients with ERA (ILAR criteria) or SpA (ASAS Criteria). Demographic data and clinical characteristics were obtained from medical records. Disease activity was evaluated by: erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein rate (CRP) and Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Index (BASDAI). Functional impairment was evaluated by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Functional Index (BASFI) and Ankylosing Spondylitis Quality of life Questionnaire (ASQoL). Global well-being was assessed by Bath Ankylosing Spondylitis Global Index (BASGI). Population was divided into two groups: group 1 (G1) stands for ERA patients and group 2 (G2) stands for SpA patients. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results A total of 174 patients (40 ERA and 134 SpA) were enrolled. Mean age at disease onset was 12.4 ± 3 years in G1 and 27.8 ± 8 years in G2. Male to female sex ratio was 5.6 in G1 and 3.7 in G2. Morning stiffness (>60 min) was reported by 37.5% of G1 and 49.3%. G1 patients had longer morning stiffness than G2 (61 [0–90] min vs 30 [0–240] min; P = 0.58). Multiple nocturnal awakenings were reported by 45% of G1 patients and 58.2% of G2 patients. Median BASDAI score was 4.9 [1–44] in G1 and 4.5 in G2 [0–10] (P = 0.48). Median BASGI score was 6 [1.5–9.5] in G1 and 6 [0–10] in G2 (P = 0.58). Median ESR was 35 mm/h [8–90] in G1 and 35 mm/h [2–125] in G2. Median CRP was 18.2 mg/l [1–70] in G1 and 13 mg/l [3–180] in G2. The assessment of functional status revealed that G1 patients had higher BASFI scores than G2 patients (5.2 vs 4.5). The association between G1 and BASFI was statistically significant (P = 0.05). Median ASQoL was 12 [2–17] in G1 and 9 [0–18] in G2. No link was noted between G1 and ASQoL score (P = 0.152). Conclusion Our study showed that ERA was associated with higher BASFI scores in comparison with SpA. Treat-to target strategies are mandatory in order to optimize the functional status of children with ERA.

Short Term

Summary: The cathartic effect of suicide is traditionally defined as the existence of a rapid, significant, and spontaneous decrease in the depressive symptoms of suicide attempters after the act. This study was designed to investigate short-term variations, following a suicide attempt by self-poisoning, of a number of other variables identified as suicidal risk factors: hopelessness, impulsivity, personality traits, and quality of life. Patients hospitalized less than 24 hours after a deliberate (moderate) overdose were presented with the Montgomery-Asberg Depression and Impulsivity Rating Scales, Hopelessness scale, MMPI and World Health Organization's Quality of Life questionnaire (abbreviated versions). They were also asked to complete the same scales and questionnaires 8 days after discharge. The study involved 39 patients, the average interval between initial and follow-up assessment being 13.5 days. All the scores improved significantly, with the exception of quality of life and three out of the eight personality traits. This finding emphasizes the fact that improvement is not limited to depressive symptoms and enables us to identify the relative importance of each studied variable as a risk factor for attempted suicide. The limitations of the study are discussed as well as in particular the nongeneralizability of the sample and setting.
