Abstract

The data of 33 patients with adult-onset still's disease (AOSD)-associated macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) were retrospectively collected from January 2013 to December 2020 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital. Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH)-2004 criteria, macrophage activation syndrome/juvenile idiopathic arthritis (MS-Score) and hemophagocytic syndrome diagnostic score (HScore) were used to diagnose AOSD-associated MAS, respectively. The time of diagnosis of AOSD-associated MAS by MS-Score was 19.0 (4.5, 31.0) days [M (Q1,Q3)] earlier than by HLH-2004 criteria, and 13.5 (0.5, 21.5) days earlier than by HScore (both P<0.05). The difference was not statistically significant between the time of diagnosis of AOSD-associated MAS by Hscore and by HLH-2004 criteria (P>0.05). There was significant difference among the three criteria (P<0.001). MS-Score can be used to diagnose AOSD-associated MAS earlier than HLH-2004 criteria, while the timeliness of HScore is not certain.

收集2013年1月至2020年12月在北京协和医院出院诊断为成人Still病(AOSD)合并巨噬细胞活化综合征(MAS)的33例患者的临床资料,分析比较分别应用噬血细胞性淋巴组织细胞增多症(HLH)-2004标准、巨噬细胞活化综合征/幼年特发性关节炎评分(MS-Score)和HLH诊断评分(HScore)确诊MAS的时间。结果发现,应用MS-Score确诊MAS的时间[MQ1Q3)]比HLH-2004标准提前19.0(4.5,31.0)d,比HScore提前13.5(0.5,21.5)d(均P<0.05);应用HScore确诊MAS的时间与应用HLH-2004标准差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);三种诊断标准相比,诊断时间差异有统计学意义(P<0.001)。与HLH-2004标准相比,MS-Score能更早期诊断AOSD合并MAS,而HScore的诊断获益尚未明确。.
