Résumé

Children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are thought to be more likely to develop cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The factors modulating the cardiovascular risk, involving exposure to secondhand smoking, sedentary lifestyle and abnormal body mass index, might have had a stronger impact during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of reliable prognostic markers for a higher probability of cardiovascular events might be solved by carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) measurement. The paramount goal of the study was to assess its usefulness in JIA patients. The results of cIMT measured by a single physician in 45 children diagnosed with JIA were compared to 37 age- and sex-matched healthy counterparts. The analysis also involved anthropometric parameters, laboratory tests, and a survey regarding lifestyle-related factors. Four JIA patients appeared to have cIMT above the 94th percentile. A positive correlation between erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) and right carotid artery percentiles was found. Passive smoking increased the cardiovascular risk regardless of JIA. Doubling the daily screen time during the pandemic led to a significant reduction in children's physical activity. However, the number of enrolled subjects was not enough to make significant recommendations. cIMT measurements remain an interesting perspective for future cardiovascular screening of children with JIA. It has yet to be determined whether it should be considered in all JIA patients on a reliable basis.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Children diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) are thought to be more likely to develop cardiovascular disease in adulthood. The factors modulating the cardiovascular risk, involving exposure to secondhand smoking, sedentary lifestyle and abnormal body mass index, might have had a stronger impact during the COVID-19 pandemic. The lack of reliable prognostic markers for a higher probability of cardiovascular events might be solved by carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) measurement. The paramount goal of the study was to assess its usefulness in JIA patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS METHODS
The results of cIMT measured by a single physician in 45 children diagnosed with JIA were compared to 37 age- and sex-matched healthy counterparts. The analysis also involved anthropometric parameters, laboratory tests, and a survey regarding lifestyle-related factors.
RESULTS RESULTS
Four JIA patients appeared to have cIMT above the 94th percentile. A positive correlation between erythrocytes sedimentation rate (ESR) and right carotid artery percentiles was found. Passive smoking increased the cardiovascular risk regardless of JIA. Doubling the daily screen time during the pandemic led to a significant reduction in children's physical activity. However, the number of enrolled subjects was not enough to make significant recommendations.
CONCLUSIONS CONCLUSIONS
cIMT measurements remain an interesting perspective for future cardiovascular screening of children with JIA. It has yet to be determined whether it should be considered in all JIA patients on a reliable basis.
