Abstract:

Objective To assess the correlation between brachial artery flow mediated dilatation (FMD) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) by systematic review, and to explore vascular endothelial function in JIA children fatherly. Methods A case-control and cross-sectional studies regarding FMD and JIA children were conducted to collect via Computer retrieval of PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, The Cochrane Library, CNKI, WangFang Date, VIP databases and CBM, the retrieval time is from the establishment of database to August 2020. The literature screening, data extraction and bias risk assessment were independently conducted by two participants, meta-analysis was performed using Reviewer Manager 5.3 and Stata 16 software. Results There were 10 literature, 6 case-control studies, and 4 cross-sectional studies including 439 JIA children and 382 healthy controls (control group). The results of meta analysis verified that FMD value of JIA children was significantly lower than that of healthy children in the control group (weight mean difference [WMD]=-3.51, 95%CI=-4.16, -2.85, P<0.01, respectively); the subgroup analysis showed that FMD values of JIA children with polyarticular, oligoarticular, and systemic were significantly lower than those in the control group (WMD polyarticular JIA=-3.30, 95%CI=-4.51, -2.09, P<0.01; WMD oligoarticular JIA=-2.39, 95%CI=-3.63, -1.15, P=0.0002; WMD systemic JIA=-2.02, 95%CI=-2.57, -1.48, P<0.01, respectively). Conclusion Children with JIA retain vascular endothelial dysfunction.
