The efficacy of a single-dose anakinra injection during disease attack in pediatric familial Mediterranean fever. Rheumatol Int 2024; 44:2569-2575.

Abstract
The aim of this retrospective study is to evaluate the efficacy of a single-dose anakinra during familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) attacks and its effect on the duration, severity, and frequency of attacks. The patients with FMF who had disease episode and received a single-dose anakinra during disease episode between December 2020 and May 2022 were included. Demographic characteristics, MEFV gene variants detected, concomitant medical conditions, demographics of recent and previous episodes, laboratory findings and length of hospital stay were recorded. A retrospective analysis of medical records revealed 79 attacks from 68 patients who met inclusion criteria. The patients had a median age of 13 (2.5-25) years. All patients reported that the average duration of their previous episodes lasted longer than 24 h. When the recovery time of attacks after subcutaneous anakinra application at the disease attack was examined, it was observed that 4 attacks (5.1%) ended in 10 min; 10 attacks (12.7%) in 10-30 min; 29 attacks (36.7%) in 30-60 min; 28 attacks (35.4%) in 1-4 h; 4 attacks (5.1%) in 24 h; and 4 attacks (5.1%) ended in more than 24 h. There was no patient who did not recover from their attack after a single dose of anakinra. Although the efficacy of a single-dose anakinra administration during FMF attacks in children needs to be confirmed by prospective studies, our results suggest that use of a single-dose anakinra during FMF attacks is effective in reduction of severity and duration of disease attacks.

Kaçan H, Kaş Alay G, Yildiz E. The effect of education given to Turkish adolescents with Familial Mediterranean fever on anxiety, depression, and quality of life. Eur J Pediatr 2023:10.1007/s00431-023-04975-5. [PMID: 37069356 DOI: 10.1007/s00431-023-04975-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/19/2023] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/06/2023] [Indexed: 04/19/2023]
Abstract
To examine the effects of individual education given to Turkish adolescents with Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) on anxiety, depression, and quality of life. The randomized controlled experimental study was performed on 70 adolescents aged 12-18 years who were diagnosed as having FMF between October 2021 and April 2022 in Turkey. The disease management education was offered individually to adolescents in the intervention group with a booklet entitled "FMF is under my control;" no intervention was applied to adolescents in the control group. The training booklet was prepared by the researchers in a multidisciplinary team and was finalized by taking expert opinions. In the data collection process, a personal information form, the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory for Children (STAI-CH), the children's depression inventory (CDI), and the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) were used. After applying the scales specified in the pretest, individual training was given and the posttest was performed 2 months later using the same scales. After the education, there was a statistically significant decrease in the mean CDI score of the intervention group (p < 0.05), whereas there were statistically significant increases in mean scores obtained on PedsQL and its sub-scales (p < 0.05). However, the decrease in the mean STAI-CH score of the intervention group was not statistically significant (p > 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the mean STAI-CH, CDI, and PedsQL scores of the control group after the education (p > 0.05). Conclusion: The effectiveness of the individual education program for adolescents with FMF in improving quality of life and reducing levels of depression within the scope of disease management has been confirmed. It is recommended that all health professionals working with children with FMF regularly provide individual or group-planned education programs. What is Known: • The unpredictability of FMF attacks has a very negative effect on adolescents. • Individual education programs on FMF focus on children with a holistic approach. What is New: • To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first study to evaluate disease management education given to adolescents with FMF. • This is a pioneering study of the use of nurses in the education of adolescents with FMF and in fulfilling their educational roles.

Real-Life Indications of Interleukin-1 Blocking Agents in Hereditary Recurrent Fevers: Data From the JIRcohort and a Literature Review. Front Immunol 2021; 12:744780. [PMID: 34858402 PMCID: PMC8632237 DOI: 10.3389/fimmu.2021.744780] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/20/2021] [Accepted: 10/19/2021] [Indexed: 12/02/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Interleukin (IL)-1 inhibitors represent the main treatment in patients with colchicine-resistant/intolerant familial Mediterranean fever (crFMF), mevalonate kinase deficiency (MKD), and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS). However, the reasons for the use of IL-1 inhibitors in these diseases are still not completely clarified. Objective Identify real-life situations that led to initiating anakinra or canakinumab treatment in hereditary recurrent fevers (HRFs), combining data from an international registry and an up-to-date literature review. Patients and Methods Data were extracted from the JIRcohort, in which clinical information (demographic data, treatment, disease activity, and quality of life) on patients with FMF, MKD, and TRAPS was retrospectively collected. A literature search was conducted using Medline, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases. Results Complete data of 93 patients with HRF (53.8% FMF, 31.2% MKD, and 15.1% TRAPS) were analyzed. Data from both the registry and the literature review confirmed that the main reasons for use of IL-1 blockers were the following: failure of previous treatment (n = 57, 61.3% and n = 964, 75.3%, respectively), persistence of disease activity with frequent attacks (n = 44, 47.3% and n = 1,023, 79.9%) and/or uncontrolled inflammatory syndrome (n = 46, 49.5% and n = 398, 31.1%), severe disease complication or associated comorbidities (n = 38, 40.9% and n = 390, 30.4%), and worsening of patients' quality of life (n = 36, 38.7% and n = 100, 7,8%). No reasons were specified for 12 (16.4%) JIRcohort patients and 154 (12%) patients in the literature. Conclusion In the absence of standardized indications for IL-1 inhibitors in crFMF, MKD, and TRAPS, these results could serve as a basis for developing a treat-to-target strategy that would help clinicians codify the therapeutic escalation with IL-1 inhibitors.
