    Kurzfassung: Primary aims were to compare adipose tissue distribution in adult patients with juvenile-onset DM (JDM), with matched controls. Secondary aims were to explore how adipose tissue distribution is associated with cardio-metabolic status (cardiac dysfunction and metabolic syndrome) in patients. Methods Thirty-nine JDM patients (all aged ≥18 y, mean age 31.7 y and 51% female) were examined mean 22.7 y (s.d. 8.9 y) after disease onset and compared with 39 age/sex-matched controls. In patients, disease activity and lipodystrophy were assessed by validated tools and use of prednisolone noted. In all participants, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and echocardiography were used to measure visceral adipose tissue (VAT)(g) and cardiac function, respectively. Risk factors for metabolic syndrome were measured and associations with adipose tissue distribution explored. For primary and secondary aims, respectively, P-values ≤0.05 and ≤0.01 were considered significant. Results Patients exhibited a 2.4-fold increase in VAT, and reduced HDL-cholesterol values compared with controls (P-values ≤ 0.05). Metabolic syndrome was found in 25.7% of the patients and none of the controls. Cardiac dysfunction (systolic and/or diastolic) was found in 23.7% of patients and 8.1% of controls (P = 0.07). In patients, VAT levels were correlated with age, disease duration and occurrence of metabolic syndrome and cardiac dysfunction. Occurrence of lipodystrophy (P = 0.02) and male sex (P = 0.04) tended to be independently associated with cardiac dysfunction. Conclusion Adults with JDM showed more central adiposity and cardio-metabolic alterations than controls. Further, VAT was found increased with disease duration, which was associated with development of cardio-metabolic syndrome.

    Kurzfassung: To explore the associations between microvascular abnormalities as assessed by nailfold capillaroscopy (NFC) and pulmonary and cardiac involvement in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (DM) who are assessed after medium‐ to long‐term follow‐up. Methods Fifty‐eight patients with juvenile DM were examined a mean ± SD of 17.0 ± 10.6 years after symptom onset. Nailfold capillary density (NCD) and a neovascular pattern (defined as an active or late scleroderma pattern) were analyzed, with blinding to clinical data. Pulmonary involvement was assessed by pulmonary function tests including spirometry, diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (D Lco ), and body plethysmography. High‐resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was also performed. Cardiac involvement was assessed by electrocardiography, Holter monitoring (heart rate variability), and echocardiography. Results Patients with low NCD ( 〈 6 capillaries/mm) (n = 21), compared to patients with normal NCD (≥6 capillaries/mm) (n = 37) had lower forced vital capacity (89.7% versus 98.5% predicted), total lung capacity (87.8% versus 94.5% predicted), and more often had low D Lco values (15 [71%] of 21 patients versus 14 [38%] of 37 controls) (all P 〈 0.05). Use of HRCT to assess airway disease was more frequent in the group with low NCD (6 [30%] of 20 patients versus 3 [8%] of 36 patients in the normal NCD group; P = 0.034). No associations between NCD and cardiac parameters or between neovascular pattern and pulmonary or cardiac parameters were observed. Conclusion In patients with juvenile DM, low NCD was associated with lung involvement, which was mostly subclinical. No significant associations with cardiac involvement were observed. These results shed light on possible mechanisms underlying organ involvement, but further and preferably larger studies are needed to identify NCD as a potential biomarker for lung and cardiac involvement in juvenile DM.

    Kurzfassung: Juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is the most common idiopathic inflammatory myopathy in children and adolescents. Both the disease and its treatment with glucocorticoids may negatively impact bone formation. In this study we compare BMD in patients (children/adolescence and adults) with long-standing JDM with matched controls; and in patients, explore how general/disease characteristics and bone turnover markers are associated with BMD . Methods JDM patients ( n  = 59) were examined median 16.8y (range 6.6–27.0y) after disease onset and compared with 59 age/sex-matched controls. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) was used to measure BMD of the whole body and lumbar spine (spine) in all participants, and of ultra-distal radius, forearm and total hip in participants ≥20y only. Markers of bone turnover were analysed, and associations with outcomes explored. Results Reduced BMD Z-scores ( 〈 −1SD) were found in 19 and 29% of patients and 7 and 9% of controls in whole body and spine, respectively ( p -values 〈  0.05). BMD and BMD Z-scores for whole body and spine were lower in all patients and for 〈  20y compared with their respective controls. In participants ≥20y, only BMD and BMD Z-score of forearm were lower in the patients versus controls. In patients, BMD Z-scores for whole body and/or spine were found to correlate negatively with prednisolone use at follow-up (yes/no) (age  〈  20y), inflammatory markers (age ≥ 20y) and levels of interferon gamma-induced protein 10 (IP-10) (both age groups). In all patients, prednisolone use at follow-up (yes/no) and age ≥ 20y were independent correlates of lower BMD Z-scores for whole body and spine, respectively. Conclusion In long-term JDM, children have more impairment of BMD than adults in spine and whole-body. Associations with BMD were found for both prednisolone and inflammatory markers, and a novel association was discovered with the biomarker of JDM activity, IP-10.

    Kurzfassung: To compare submaximal exercise capacity in patients with juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) with controls, and analyze contributions of muscle, heart, and lung impairment in patients. Methods. Fifty-nine patients with JDM, with a mean 16.9 years after symptom onset, and 59 sex- and age-matched controls completed a 6-min walk test (6MWT) and a timed up and go (TUG) test. Muscle function, disease activity/damage, and health-related quality of life (HRQOL) were assessed by validated tools; heart function by echocardiography and electrocardiography; and lung function by spirometry, DLCO, and body plethysmography. A thoracic high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan and magnetic resonance imaging of the thighs were completed in patients. Results. The 6MWT distance (6MWD) was 592 ± 81 m in patients versus 649 ± 79 m in controls (p 〈 0.001), and 563 ± 75 m in active versus 622 ± 76 m in inactive JDM (p = 0.004). The TUG time was 13.1 ± 2.1 s in patients versus 12.3 ± 2.0 s in controls (p = 0.034), and 13.7 ± 2.2 s in active versus 12.5 ± 1.8 s in inactive JDM (p = 0.028). No statistically significant difference was found between inactive JDM and controls in either test. In patients, the Childhood Myositis Assessment Score influenced the 6MWD and TUG time the most, followed by a low DLCO and HRCT pathology in the 6MWT and forced vital capacity in the TUG test. Medical Outcomes Study Short Form-36 physical component summary correlated strongly with both tests. Conclusion. Submaximal exercise capacity was reduced in patients with JDM, particularly those with active disease. This reduction was associated with muscle and lung dysfunction and poorer HRQOL.

    Kurzfassung: In long-term juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM), altered adipose tissue distribution and subclinical cardiac dysfunction have been described. Our aims were to compare adipokine levels in patients with JDM after long-term disease with controls, and explore associations between adipokines and (1) adipose tissue distribution and (2) cardiac function. Methods The study cohort included 59 patients with JDM (60% female, mean age 25.2 years, mean disease duration 16.9 years), and 59 age/sex-matched controls. Updated Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization criteria for clinically inactive JDM were used to stratify patients into active (JDM-active) or inactive (JDM-inactive) disease groups. Lipodystrophy was clinically assessed in all patients. In all study participants, we measured adipose tissue distribution by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and cardiac function by echocardiography. Serum adipokines (adiponectin, apelin-12, lipocalin-2, leptin, visfatin and resistin) were analysed using ELISA. Results Patients with JDM had higher leptin levels compared with controls (p≤0.01). In JDM-active, apelin-12 and visfatin were higher compared with JDM-inactive (p≤0.05). In JDM-total and JDM-active, lower adiponectin correlated with lipodystrophy and total fat mass. Also, systolic dysfunction correlated with: lower adiponectin in JDM-total, JDM-inactive and JDM-active, and with lower apelin-12 in JDM-total and JDM-active and resistin in JDM-active (all p≤0.05). Lower adiponectin correlated with diastolic dysfunction in JDM-total and JDM-active. Conclusion After long-term disease, leptin levels were unfavourably regulated in patients with JDM compared with controls, and apelin-12 and visfatin in JDM-active versus JDM-inactive. We found associations between adipokines and both adipose tissue distribution and cardiac systolic function in all patients with JDM, which was most prominent in patients with active disease.

    Kurzfassung: This study aimed at exploring the association between detectable cardiac and pulmonary involvement in long-term juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) and to assess if patients with cardiac and pulmonary involvement differ with regard to clinical characteristics. 57 JDM patients were examined mean 17.3 (10.5) years after disease onset; this included clinical examination, myositis specific/associated autoantibodies (immunoblot), echocardiography, pulmonary function tests and high-resolution computed tomography. Cardiac involvement was defined as diastolic and/or systolic left ventricular dysfunction and pulmonary involvement as low diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide, low total lung capacity and/or high-resolution computed tomography abnormalities. Patients were stratified into the following four groups: (i) no organ involvement, (ii) pulmonary only, (iii) cardiac only, and (iv) co-existing pulmonary and cardiac involvement. Mean age was 25.7 (12.4) years and 37% were males. One patient had coronary artery disease, seven had a history of pericarditis, seven had hypertension and three had known interstitial lung disease prior to follow-up. There was no association between cardiac (10/57;18%) and pulmonary (41/57;72%) involvement ( p  = 0.83). After stratifying by organ involvement, 21% of patients had no organ involvement; 61% had pulmonary involvement only; 7% had cardiac involvement only and 11% had co-existing pulmonary or cardiac involvement. Patients with co-existing pulmonary or cardiac involvement had higher disease burden than the remaining patients. Patients with either cardiac or pulmonary involvement only, differed in clinical and autoantibody characteristics. We found no increased risk of developing concomitant cardiac/pulmonary involvement in JDM. Our results shed light upon possible different underlying mechanisms behind pulmonary and cardiac involvement in JDM.

    Kurzfassung: To compare body composition parameters in patients with long-standing JDM and controls and to explore associations between body composition and disease activity/inflammation, muscle strength, health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and cardiometabolic measures. Methods We included 59 patients (median disease duration 16.7 y; median age 21.5 y) and 59 age- and sex-matched controls in a cross-sectional study. Active and inactive disease were defined by the PRINTO criteria. Body composition was assessed by total body DXA, inflammation by high-sensitivity CRP (hs-CRP) and cytokines, muscle strength by the eight-muscle manual muscle test, HRQoL by the 36-item Short Form Health Survey physical component score and cardiometabolic function by echocardiography (systolic and diastolic function) and serum lipids. Results DXA analyses revealed lower appendicular lean mass index (ALMI; reflecting limb skeletal muscle mass), higher body fat percentage (BF%) and a higher android fat:gynoid fat (A:G) ratio (reflecting central fat distribution) in patients than controls, despite similar BMI. Patients with active disease had lower ALMI and higher BF% than those with inactive disease; lower ALMI and higher BF% were associated with inflammation (elevated monocyte attractant protein-1 and hs-CRP). Lower ALMI was associated with reduced muscle strength, while higher BF% was associated with impaired HRQoL. Central fat distribution (higher A:G ratio) was associated with impaired cardiac function and unfavourable serum lipids. Conclusion Despite normal BMI, patients with JDM, especially those with active disease, had unfavourable body composition, which was associated with impaired HRQoL, muscle strength and cardiometabolic function. The association between central fat distribution and cardiometabolic alterations is a novel finding in JDM.

    Kurzfassung: To examine associations between cytokines and pulmonary involvement in patients with medium- to long-term JDM. Methods In a cross-sectional study, 58 patients examined median (range) 16.8 (6.6–27.0) years after symptom onset were stratified in inactive (JDM-inactive) and active (JDM-active) disease (updated PRINTO criteria); 56 age/sex matched controls were included. Twenty-nine cytokines (in serum) were analysed (Luminex technology/ELISA). Pulmonary function test included forced vital capacity, total lung capacity (TLC) and diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide reported as % of predicted and low forced vital capacity/TLC/diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. In patients, the presence of clinical pulmonary damage was assessed and high resolution computed tomography scans were scored for interstitial lung disease, chest wall calcinosis and airways disease. Results Median age of patients was 21 (7–55) years, 59% were female and 36% inactive. In JDM-active and all patients, higher MCP-1, IP-10 and eotaxin correlated with high-resolution computed tomography findings (rs 0.34–0.61; P & lt; 0.05). MCP-1 and eotaxin correlated with pulmonary damage in JDM-active and all patients (rs 0.41–0.49; P & lt; 0.01). Higher TGF-β1 and PDGF (growth factors) were associated with lower lung volumes (forced vital capacity/TLC measures) in all patients; PDGF in JDM-active and TGF-β1 in JDM-inactive patients. IP-10 correlated with TLC% in JDM-active patients. No associations between cytokines and pulmonary function test were found in controls. Conclusions In JDM, we found a novel association (not previously described in myositis) between eotaxin and pulmonary involvement; we have previously shown an association between eotaxin and cardiac dysfunction. The associations between IP-10/growth factors/MCP-1 and pulmonary involvement are novel in JDM and were mostly seen in JDM-active patients.
