Abstract
OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether in juvenile localized scleroderma (JLS), non-invasive imaging can differentiate affected from non-affected skin and whether imaging correlates with a validated skin score [Localised Scleroderma Cutaneous Assessment Tool (LoSCAT)]. METHODS A total of 25 children with JLS were recruited into a prospective study and a single 'target' lesion was selected. High-frequency ultrasound (HFUS, measuring skin thickness), infrared thermography (IRT, skin temperature), laser Doppler imaging (LDI, skin blood flow) and multispectral imaging (MSI, oxygenation) were performed at four sites: two of affected skin (centre and inner edge of lesion) and two of non-affected skin (1 cm from the edge of the lesion 'outer' and contralateral non-affected side) at four visits at 3 month intervals. RESULTS Differences between affected and non-affected skin were detected with all four techniques. Compared with non-affected skin, affected skin was thinner (P < 0.001), with higher temperature (P < 0.001-0.006), perfusion (P < 0.001-0.039) and oxygenation (P < 0.001-0.028). Lesion skin activity (LoSCAT) was positively correlated with centre HFUS [r = 0.32 (95% CI 0.02, 0.61), P = 0.036] and negatively correlated with centre LDI [r = -0.26 (95% CI -0.49, -0.04), P = 0.022]. Lesion skin damage was positively correlated with centre and inner IRT [r = 0.43 (95% CI 0.19, 0.67), P < 0.001 and r = 0.36 (95% CI 0.12, 0.59), P = 0.003, respectively] and with centre and inner LDI [r = 0.37 (95% CI 0.05, 0.69), P = 0.024 and r = 0.41 (95% CI 0.08, 0.74), P = 0.015, respectively]. CONCLUSION Non-invasive imaging can detect differences between affected and non-affected skin in JLS and may help to differentiate between activity (thicker, less well-perfused skin) and damage (thinner, highly perfused skin).

Abstract
Schools are critical organisational settings, and school principals face extreme stress levels. However, there are few large-scale, longitudinal studies of demands and resources that drive principals' health and well-being. Using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) framework, we evaluated longitudinal reciprocal effects over 3 years relating to job demands, job resources (resilience), job-related outcomes (burnout and job satisfaction), and personal outcomes (happiness and physical health) for a nationally representative sample of 3683 Australian school principals. Prior demands and resources led to small changes in subsequent outcomes, beneficial effects of resources, and adverse effects of demands, particularly for job-related outcomes. Furthermore, we also found reverse-reciprocal effects, prior outcomes (burnout and job satisfaction) influencing subsequent job characteristics. However, in response to substantively and theoretically important research questions, we found no support for Yerkes-Dodson Law (nonlinear effects of demands) or Nietzsche effects and inoculation effects (that which does not kill you, makes you stronger; manageable levels of demands build resilience). Relating our study to new and evolving issues in JD-R research, we offer limitations of our research-and JD-R theory and research more generally-and directions for further research in this essentially unstudied application of JD-R to school principals' mental health and well-being.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (jSLE) affects 15-20% of lupus patients. Clinical heterogeneity between racial groups, age groups and individual patients suggests variable pathophysiology. This study aimed to identify highly penetrant damaging mutations in genes associated with SLE/SLE-like disease in a large national cohort (UK JSLE Cohort Study) and compare demographic, clinical and laboratory features in patient sub-cohorts with 'genetic' SLE vs remaining SLE patients. METHODS Based on a sequencing panel designed in 2018, target enrichment and next-generation sequencing were performed in 348 patients to identify damaging gene variants. Findings were integrated with demographic, clinical and treatment related datasets. RESULTS Damaging gene variants were identified in ∼3.5% of jSLE patients. When compared with the remaining cohort, 'genetic' SLE affected younger children and more Black African/Caribbean patients. 'Genetic' SLE patients exhibited less organ involvement and damage, and neuropsychiatric involvement developed over time. Less aggressive first line treatment was chosen in 'genetic' SLE patients, but more second and third line agents were used. 'Genetic' SLE associated with anti-dsDNA antibody positivity at diagnosis and reduced ANA, anti-LA and anti-Sm antibody positivity at last visit. CONCLUSION Approximately 3.5% of jSLE patients present damaging gene variants associated with younger age at onset, and distinct clinical features. As less commonly observed after treatment induction, in 'genetic' SLE, autoantibody positivity may be the result of tissue damage and explain reduced immune complex-mediated renal and haematological involvement. Routine sequencing could allow for patient stratification, risk assessment and target-directed treatment, thereby increasing efficacy and reducing toxicity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a rare, life-threatening inflammation of blood vessels that can affect both adults and children. Compared to adult-onset disease, AAV is especially rare in children, with an annual prevalence of 0.5-6.4 cases per million children. The etiology of AAV remains largely unknown, and both environmental and genetic factors are likely involved. The present study was undertaken to explore the genetic susceptibility factors recently identified in adult patients, including HLA-DP and HLA-DQ, in pediatric patients. METHODS We performed a genome-wide association study of pediatric AAV in patients of European ancestry (n = 63 AAV cases, n = 315 population-matched controls). RESULTS We identified a significant genetic association between pediatric AAV and the HLA-DPB1*04:01 allele (P = 1.5 × 10-8 , odds ratio [OR] 3.5), with a stronger association observed in children with proteinase 3-ANCA positivity than in children with myeloperoxidase-ANCA positivity. Among the HLA alleles, the HLA-DPB1*04:01 allele was the most highly associated with AAV, although not significantly, in a follow-up adult AAV cohort (P = 2.6 × 10-4 , OR 0.4). T cell receptor and interferon signaling pathways were also shown to be enriched in the pediatric AAV cohort. CONCLUSION The HLA-DPB1 locus showed an association with pediatric AAV, as similarly shown previously in adult AAV. Despite the difference in the age of onset, these findings suggest that childhood- and adult-onset vasculitis share a common genetic predisposition. The identification of genetic variants contributing to AAV is an important step to improved classification tools and treatment strategies.

Abstract
Introduction/Background Following first reports of paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with COVID-19 (PIMS-TS) in April 2020, services have rapidly been developed to manage these patients. In our tertiary paediatric rheumatology service a daily virtual PIMS-TS multidisciplinary (MDT) team meeting was set up in January 2021. This meeting facilitates discussions between the tertiary centre (routinely including paediatric rheumatology and infectious diseases/immunology teams) and general paediatric teams in district general hospitals (DGHs) and within our centre. The aim of this project was to evaluate the service and understand general paediatric opinion in order to consider the future direction of the meeting. Description/Method We looked at a one month period after meetings were initiated and compared it with a one month period a year later (February 2021 and February 2022) to define patient numbers and outcomes. Alongside this we constructed an online survey aimed at general paediatricians to determine opinion of the current structure of the MDT and how it may be developed in the future. The survey was sent to general paediatricians within our own centre and in the eleven DGHs falling within our region. Results were analysed descriptively. Discussion/Results During February 2021, 19 new referrals were discussed within the PIMS-TS MDT; each referral was discussed for a median of 5 days (interquartile range (IQR) 3–6 days). Of these, 11/19 (58%) had a final primary diagnosis of PIMS-TS and 5/19 (26%) patients were transferred for tertiary care (of whom 4/5 (80%) had PIMS-TS). In February 2022, 14 new referrals were discussed for a median of 2.5 days (IQR 2–5.75 days). Of these, 3/14 (21%) had a final diagnosis of PIMS-TS and 2/14 (14%) were transferred for tertiary care (of whom neither had PIMS-TS). We received responses from 20 general paediatricians covering 9/11 (82%) DGHs within our region plus our own centre. Most clinicians had discussed up to 6 patients in the meeting (9/20 (45%) 1-3 patients; 9/20 (45%) 4-6 patients; 2/20 (10%) >6 patients). All clinicians felt the MDT helped facilitate appropriate diagnostic work-up and treatment decisions. 18/20 (90%) felt that the meeting helped avoid unnecessary tertiary paediatric transfers. Interestingly, 9/20 (45%) felt that a routine PIMS-TS MDT meant they were more likely to discuss a patient with rheumatology (1/20 (5%) less likely). All clinicians felt the meeting improved care for patients and most felt it increased their confidence in looking after patients with PIMS-TS (19/20, 95%) and was useful for continuing professional development/training experience (19/20, 95%). Considering the future direction of the meeting, all clinicians felt it should be continued but most (16/20, 80%) felt it should be aimed at a wider patient group. 11/20 (55%) felt a later time of day would be more convenient (currently 11am). Over half (11/20, 55%) thought it should be combined with a currently separate meeting for acute COVID-19 patients (7/20 (35%) don’t know; 2/20 (10%) no). A minority (4/20, 20%) reported difficulty accessing the meeting. Key learning points/Conclusion As the initial phase of the pandemic draws to a close and numbers of PIMS-TS cases decline this is important data to reflect on how services can go forward into the next phase. While numbers of PIMS-TS cases reduced, the meeting was still well-used and evolved to include patients with other diagnoses. The survey confirms that most general paediatricians believe it improves patient care and would like the meeting to continue but that review of the format may be helpful. Particular considerations are to broaden the scope of the meeting beyond PIMS-TS, revise the timing and consider how to improve ease of access to the meeting for all. Further work will focus on evaluating patient numbers and diagnoses over the full period of the PIMS-TS MDT and adapting the format of the current MDT in response to the feedback received.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Juvenile idiopathic arthritis is the most common chronic rheumatic disease of childhood. The term JIA encompasses a heterogenous group of diseases. The variability in phenotype of patients affected by the disease means it is not uncommon for mimics of JIA to be misdiagnosed. CASE PRESENTATION We present four cases who were treated in single tertiary rheumatology centre for JIA who were subsequently diagnosed with a rare monogenic disease. All four patients shared the unifying features of presenting in early childhood and subsequently suffered with refractory disease, not amenable to usual standards of treatment. Multicentric Carpotarsal Osteolysis Syndrome and Camptodactyly-arthropathy-coxa vara-pericarditis syndrome are non-inflammatory conditions and patients typically present with arthropathy, normal inflammatory markers and atypical radiological features. Blau syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition and patients will typically have symmetrical joint involvement with a strong family history of arthritis, signifying the genetic aetiology. CONCLUSIONS We share our learning from these cases to add to the growing portfolio of JIA mimics and to highlight when to consider an alternative diagnosis. In cases of refractory disease and diagnostic uncertainty further imaging and genetic testing can play a crucial role in establishing the aetiology. In all of these cases the correct diagnosis was made due to careful, longitudinal clinical phenotyping and a close working relationship between rheumatology, radiology and clinical genetics; highlighting the importance of the multidisciplinary team in managing complex patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In the absence of clinical trials evidence, Juvenile-onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE) treatment plans vary. AIM To explore 'real world' treatment utilising longitudinal UK JSLE Cohort Study data. METHODS Data collected between 07/2009-05/2020 was used to explore the choice/sequence of immunomodulating drugs from diagnosis. Multivariate logistic regression determined how organ-domain involvement (pBILAG-2004) impacted treatment choice. RESULT 349 patients met inclusion criteria, median follow-up 4-years (IQR:2,6). Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) was most commonly used for the majority of organ-domains, and significantly associated with renal involvement (OR:1.99, 95% CI:1.65-2.41, pc < 0.01). Analyses assessing the sequence of immunomodulators focused on 197/349 patients (meeting relevant inclusion/exclusion criteria). 10/197 (5%) solely recieved hydroxychloroquine/prednisolone, 62/197 (31%) received a single-immunomodulator, 69/197 (36%) received two, and 36/197 patients (28%) received ≥three immunomodulators. The most common first and second line immunomodulator was MMF. Rituximab was the most common third-line immunomodulator. CONCLUSIONS Most UK JSLE patients required ≥two immunomodulators, with MMF used most commonly.

Abstract
Infection with SARS-CoV-2 may trigger a delayed hyper-inflammatory illness in children called paediatric multisystem inflammatory syndrome temporally associated with COVID-19 (PIMS-TS). A similar syndrome is increasingly recognised in adults termed multisystem inflammatory syndrome in adults (MIS-A) and may present acutely to medical or surgical specialties with severe symptoms, such as acute abdominal pain or cardiogenic shock. No national guidelines exist in the UK for the management of MIS-A and there is limited evidence to guide treatment plans. We undertook a national Delphi process to elicit opinions from experts in hyperinflammation about the diagnosis and management of MIS-A with the dual aim of improving recognition and producing a management guideline. Colleagues in paediatrics successfully initiated a national consensus management document that facilitated regional multidisciplinary referral and follow-up pathways for children with PIMS-TS, and we propose a similar system be developed for adult patients across the UK. This would facilitate better recognition and treatment of MIS-A across the multiple specialties to which it may present as well as enable follow-up with specialty services post-discharge.

Abstract
Detection and diagnosis of caries-typically undertaken through a visual-tactile examination, often with supporting radiographic investigations-is commonly regarded as being broadly effective at detecting caries that has progressed into dentine and reached a threshold where restoration is necessary. With earlier detection comes an opportunity to stabilize disease or even remineralize the tooth surface, maximizing retention of tooth tissue and preventing a lifelong cycle of restoration. We undertook a formal comparative analysis of the diagnostic accuracy of different technologies to detect and inform the diagnosis of early caries using published Cochrane systematic reviews. Forming the basis of our comparative analysis were 5 Cochrane diagnostic test accuracy systematic reviews evaluating fluorescence, visual or visual-tactile classification systems, imaging, transillumination and optical coherence tomography, and electrical conductance or impedance technologies. Acceptable reference standards included histology, operative exploration, or enhanced visual assessment (with or without tooth separation) as appropriate. We conducted 2 analyses based on study design: a fully within-study, within-person analysis and a network meta-analysis based on direct and indirect comparisons. Nineteen studies provided data for the fully within-person analysis and 64 studies for the network meta-analysis. Of the 5 technologies evaluated, the greatest pairwise differences were observed in summary sensitivity points for imaging and all other technologies, but summary specificity points were broadly similar. For both analyses, the wide 95% prediction intervals indicated the uncertainty of future diagnostic accuracy across all technologies. The certainty of evidence was low, downgraded for study limitations, inconsistency, and indirectness. Summary estimates of diagnostic accuracy for most technologies indicate that the degree of certitude with which a decision is made regarding the presence or absence of disease may be enhanced with the use of such devices. However, given the broad prediction intervals, it is challenging to predict their accuracy in any future "real world" context.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many studies on pediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (PIMS-TS) have described abdominal findings as part of multisystem involvement, with limited descriptions of abdominal imaging findings specific to PIMS-TS. OBJECTIVE To perform a detailed evaluation of abdominal imaging findings in children with PIMS-TS. MATERIALS AND METHODS We performed a single-center retrospective study of children admitted to our institution between April 2020 and January 2021 who fulfilled Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health criteria for PIMS-TS and who had cross-sectional abdominal imaging. We studied clinical data, abdominal imaging, laboratory markers, echocardiography findings, treatment and outcomes for these children. We also reviewed the literature on similar studies. RESULTS During the study period, 60 PIMS-TS cases were admitted, of whom 23 required abdominal imaging. Most (74%) were from a Black, Asian or minority ethnic background and they had an average age of 7 years (range 2-14 years). All children had fever and gastrointestinal symptoms on presentation with elevated C-reactive protein, D-dimer and fibrinogen. Most had lymphopenia, raised ferritin and hypoalbuminemia, with positive severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 immunoglobulin G antibodies in 65%. Free fluid (78%), right iliac fossa mesenteric inflammation (52%), and significantly enlarged mesenteric lymph nodes (52%) were the most common imaging findings. Appendiceal inflammation (30%) and abnormal distal ileum and cecum/ascending colon wall thickening (35%) were also common. All children responded well to medical management alone, with no mortality. CONCLUSION In addition to free fluid, prominent lymphadenopathy, and inflammatory changes in the right iliac fossa, we found abnormal long-segment ileal thickening and appendicitis to be frequent findings. Recognition of appendiceal involvement as a component of the PIMS-TS spectrum should help clinicians avoid unnecessary surgical intervention as part of a multidisciplinary team approach.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES This study aimed to test the performance of the new ACR and EULAR criteria, that include ANA positivity as entry criterion, in JSLE. METHODS Performance of the ACR/EULAR-2019 criteria were compared with Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC-2012), using data from children and young people (CYP) in the UK JSLE Cohort Study (n = 482), with the ACR-1997 criteria used as reference standard. An unselected cohort of CYP positive for ANA (n = 129) was used to calculate positive/negative predictive values of the criteria. RESULTS At both first and last visits, the number of patients fulfilling the different classification criteria varied significantly (P < 0.001). The sensitivity of the SLICC-2012 criteria was higher when compared with that of the ACR/EULAR-2019 criteria at first and last visits (98% vs 94% for first visit, and 98% vs 96% for last visit; P < 0.001), when all available CYP were considered. The ACR/EULAR-2019 criteria were more specific when compared with the SLICC-2012 criteria (77% vs 67% for first visit, and 81% vs 71% for last visit; P < 0.001). Significant differences between the classification criteria were mainly caused by the variation in ANA positivity across ages. In the unselected cohort of ANA-positive CYP, the ACR/EULAR-2019 criteria produced the highest false-positive classification (6/129, 5%). CONCLUSION In CYP, the ACR/EULAR-2019 criteria are not superior to those of the SLICC-2012 or ACR-1997 criteria. If classification criteria are designed to include CYP and adult populations, paediatric rheumatologists should be included in the consensus and evaluation process, as seemingly minor changes can significantly affect outcomes.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is a rare autoimmune/inflammatory disease with significant morbidity and mortality. Neuropsychiatric (NP) involvement is a severe complication, encompassing a heterogeneous range of neurological and psychiatric manifestations. METHODS Demographic, clinical, and laboratory features of NP-SLE were assessed in participants of the UK JSLE Cohort Study, and compared to patients in the same cohort without NP manifestations. RESULTS A total of 428 JSLE patients were included in this study, 25% of which exhibited NP features, half of them at first visit. Most common neurological symptoms among NP-JSLE patients included headaches (78.5%), mood disorders (48.6%), cognitive impairment (42%), anxiety (23.3%), seizures (19.6%), movement disorders (17.7%), and cerebrovascular disease (14.9%). Peripheral nervous system involvement was recorded in 7% of NP-SLE patients. NP-JSLE patients more frequently exhibited thrombocytopenia (<100 × 109/L) (p = 0.04), higher C-reactive protein levels (p = 0.01), higher global pBILAG score at first visit (p < 0.001), and higher SLICC damage index score at first (p = 0.02) and last (p < 0.001) visit when compared to JSLE patients without NP involvement. CONCLUSIONS A significant proportion of JSLE patients experience NP involvement (25%). Juvenile-onset NP-SLE most commonly affects the CNS and is associated with increased overall disease activity and damage.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Cyclophosphamide (CYC) is used in clinical practice off-label for the induction of remission in childhood polyarteritis nodosa (PAN). Mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) might offer a less toxic alternative. This study was undertaken to explore the relative effectiveness of CYC and MMF treatment in a randomized controlled trial (RCT). METHODS This was an international, open-label, Bayesian RCT to investigate the relative effectiveness of CYC and MMF for remission induction in childhood PAN. Eleven patients with newly diagnosed childhood PAN were randomized (1:1) to receive MMF or intravenous CYC; all patients received the same glucocorticoid regimen. The primary end point was remission within 6 months while compliant with glucocorticoid taper. Bayesian distributions for remission rates were established a priori for MMF and CYC by experienced clinicians and updated to posterior distributions on trial completion. RESULTS Baseline disease activity and features were similar between the 2 treatment groups. The primary end point was met in 4 of 6 patients (67%) in the MMF group and 4 of 5 patients (80%) in the CYC group. Time to remission was shorter in the MMF group compared to the CYC group (median 7.1 weeks versus 17.6 weeks). No relapses occurred in either group within 18 months. Two serious infections were found to be likely linked to MMF treatment. Physical and psychosocial quality-of-life scores were superior in the MMF group compared to the CYC group at 6 months and 18 months. Combining the prior expert opinion with results from the present study provided posterior estimates of remission of 71% for MMF (90% credibility interval [90% CrI] 51, 83) and 75% for CYC (90% CrI 57, 86). CONCLUSION The present results, taken together with prior opinion, indicate that rates of remission induction in childhood PAN are similar with MMF treatment and CYC treatment, and MMF treatment might be associated with better health-related quality of life than CYC treatment.

Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune/inflammatory disease. Patients diagnosed with juvenile-onset SLE (jSLE), when compared to individuals with adult-onset SLE, develop more severe organ involvement, increased disease activity and greater tissue and organ damage. In adult-onset SLE, clinical characteristics, pathomechanisms, disease progression and outcomes do not only vary between individuals and age groups, but also ethnicities. However, in children and young people, the influence of ethnicity on disease onset, phenotype and outcome has not been investigated in detail. In this study, we investigated clinical and laboratory characteristics in pediatric SLE patients from different ethnic backgrounds (White Caucasian, Asian, Black African/Caribbean) accessing data from a national cohort of jSLE patients (the UK JSLE Cohort Study). Among jSLE patients in the UK, ethnicity affects both the disease’s clinical course and outcomes. At diagnosis, Black African/Caribbean jSLE patients show more “classical” laboratory and clinical features when compared to White Caucasian or Asian patients. Black African/Caribbean jSLE patients exhibit more renal involvement and more frequently receive cyclophosphamide and rituximab. Studies targeting ethnicity-specific contributors to disease expression and phenotypes are necessary to improve our pathophysiological understanding, diagnosis and treatment of jSLE.

Abstract
The novel Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is the pathogen responsible for Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19). Whilst most children and young people develop mild symptoms, recent reports suggest a novel paediatric inflammatory multisystem syndrome temporally associated with SARS-CoV-2 (PIMS-TS). Case definition and classification are preliminary, treatment is empiric and disease-associated outcomes are unclear. Here, we report 29 patients with PIMS-TS who were diagnosed, admitted and treated in the English North West between March and June 2020. Consistent with patterns observed internationally, cases peaked approximately 4 weeks after the initial surge of COVID-19-like symptoms in the UK population. Clinical symptoms included fever (100%), skin rashes (72%), cardiovascular involvement (86%), conjunctivitis (62%) and respiratory involvement (21%). Some patients had clinical features partially resembling Kawasaki disease (KD), toxic shock syndrome and cytokine storm syndrome. Male gender (69%), black, Asian and other minority ethnicities (BAME, 59%) were over-represented. Immune modulating treatment was used in all, including intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG), corticosteroids and cytokine blockers. Notably, 32% of patients treated with IVIG alone went into remission. The rest required additional treatment, usually corticosteroids, with the exception of two patients who were treated with TNF inhibition and IL-1 blockade, respectively. Another patient received IL-1 inhibition as primary therapy, with associated rapid and sustained remission. Randomized and prospective studies are needed to investigate efficacy and safety of treatment, especially as resources of IVIG may be depleted secondary to high demand during future waves of COVID-19.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the reporting quality of recently published randomised controlled trial (RCT) abstracts in Endodontics, to investigate factors associated with reporting quality, and to evaluate the existence and characteristics of spin. Spin refers to reporting strategies that distort study results and misguide readers. METHODOLOGY The PubMed database was searched to identify abstracts of RCTs in the field of Endodontics published during 2017 to 2018. Two authors assessed the reporting quality of each included abstract using the original 16-item CONSORT for Abstracts checklist, with the overall quality score (OQS, range: 0 to 16) being the primary outcome measure. For each individual item, a score of '1' was given if it was described adequately, and '0' if the description was inadequate. Linear regression analyses were conducted to identify factors associated with reporting quality. For the evaluation of spin, two authors selected parallel-group RCTs with a nonsignificant primary outcome from the included abstracts, and evaluated independently the existence and characteristics of spin among these abstracts. RESULTS A total of 162 abstracts were included for assessment of reporting, for which the mean OQS was 3.97 (SD, 1.30; 95 % CI, 3.77 to 4.17). According to multivariable analysis, origin from Europe (P=0.001) and reporting of the exact P value (P=0.020) were significantly associated with better reporting. Forty abstracts with statistically nonsignificant results for their primary outcome were included for spin evaluation, among which 34 (85.0%) had at least one type of spin. Thirty-two abstracts (94.1%) had spin in their conclusions section, and six abstracts (17.6%) had spin in the results section. CONCLUSIONS The reporting quality of RCT abstracts in Endodontics needs to be improved. The occurrence rate of spin in the sample of abstracts of RCTs in the field of Endodontics was high. Relevant stakeholders are recommended to be familiar with the CONSORT for Abstracts guideline and develop active strategies to ensure its implementation.

Abstract
Background Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) is a systemic autoimmune/inflammatory condition. Approximately 15–20% of patients develop symptoms before their 18th birthday and are diagnosed with juvenile-onset SLE (JSLE). Gender distribution, clinical presentation, disease courses and outcomes vary significantly between JSLE patients and individuals with adult-onset SLE. This study aimed to identify age-specific clinical and/or serological patterns in JSLE patients enrolled to the UK JSLE Cohort Study. Methods Patient records were accessed and grouped based on age at disease-onset: pre-pubertal (≤7 years), peri-pubertal (8–13 years) and adolescent (14–18 years). The presence of American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria, laboratory results, disease activity [British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2 K) scores] and damage [Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) damage index] were evaluated at diagnosis and last follow up. Results A total of 418 JSLE patients were included in this study: 43 (10.3%) with pre-pubertal disease onset; 240 (57.4%) with peri-pubertal onset and 135 (32.3%) were diagnosed during adolescence. At diagnosis, adolescent JSLE patients presented with a higher number of ACR criteria when compared with pre-pubertal and peri-pubertal patients [pBILAG2004 scores: 9(4–20] vs. 7(3–13] vs. 7(3–14], respectively, p = 0.015] with increased activity in the following BILAG domains: mucocutaneous (p = 0.025), musculoskeletal (p = 0.029), renal (p = 0.027) and cardiorespiratory (p = 0.001). Furthermore, adolescent JSLE patients were more frequently ANA-positive (p = 0.034) and exhibited higher anti-dsDNA titres (p = 0.001). Pre-pubertal individuals less frequently presented with leukopenia (p = 0.002), thrombocytopenia (p = 0.004) or low complement (p = 0.002) when compared with other age groups. No differences were identified in disease activity (pBILAG2004 score), damage (SLICC damage index) and the number of ACR criteria fulfilled at last follow up. Conclusions Disease presentations and laboratory findings vary significantly between age groups within a national cohort of JSLE patients. Patients diagnosed during adolescence exhibit greater disease activity and “classic” autoantibody, immune cell and complement patterns when compared with younger patients. This supports the hypothesis that pathomechanisms may vary between patient age groups.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In 2017, under the supervision of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), a list of competencies and knowledge and skill statements for EU professionals working in Public Health Emergency Preparedness (PHEP) systems were identified and integrated into a Competency Model. Building on these efforts, a PHEP competency-based training toolkit was developed, pilot tested and finalized with the goal of providing a standardized training resource for experts involved in response to cross-border threats to health.
Objectives
Led by the ECDC, an international research team drafted a preliminary version of a curriculum consisting of five modules, with a list of targeted competencies, learning objectives, reading and training methods including case studies and simulation exercises. In May 2018, the curriculum was pilot tested in a 3.5-day training course at the University of Bologna, Italy. The participants included 20 representatives from 8 EU Member States. An evaluation strategy, combining both quantitative and qualitative methods, was designed to assess the impact of the training on participants’ applied knowledge and competence.
Results
Overall, the participants’ feedback on the pilot course was positive, with scores from 4.0 to 4.8 out of 5 for all the items considered. Several suggestions were made both by the trainers and the trainees to enhance the effectiveness of the learning activities, and the curriculum was integrated into a training toolkit with more exercises, teaching materials and a guide for facilitators.
Conclusions
This European Public Health Emergency Preparedness Training Toolkit is the first EU competency-based toolkit intended to help Member States improve their response to public health emergencies through standardized training. Designed for individuals working in strategic positions at the national level, its general approach, modular structure and content are relevant and can be tailored to a wider range of professionals.
Key messages
To improve PHEP in the EU, competency-based curricula and standardized training programs and resources for health professionals are needed. By enhancing the overall public health professionals’ experience and competency, the European PHEP Training Toolkit represents a step towards strengthening preparedness and response systems in the EU.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) induces transcriptional activation of monocyte en route to the injured myocardium, possibly through interactions involving plasma liberated extracellular vesicles (EVs), which are enriched for proteins and microRNAs (miRNAs) post-AMI. Neutrophils are the first immune cells to arrive at sites of injury and mediate further damage to the ischaemic myocardium. Here, we describe neutrophil-deployment from the spleen in AMI and by endothelial cell (EC) derived-EVs.
Methods
Patients presenting AMI provided informed consent as part of the Oxford Acute Myocardial Infarction Study (OxAMI). Plasma EV were isolated by differential ultra-centrifugation (120,000g, 2 hours) followed by washing and characterised for: morphology using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), size and concentration profiling by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis, EV markers (TSG101, ALIX, CD9, HSP70) by western blot, and miRNAs by RT-qPCR. Mouse and human EC were used in vitro to derive EC-EV under control conditions or after inflammatory stimulation with tumour necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) (10ng/mL) and from CRISPR-edited miRNA-126 knock-out ECs. EC-EVs were tail vein injected into wild-type mice or exposed to primary human peripheral blood neutrophils in vitro.
Results
Patients presenting with AMI (N=15) have significantly more plasma EV at time of injury vs a 6-month follow-up measurement (2.2-fold more, P=0.008). Plasma EVs at the time of AMI presentation correlate significantly with the extent of ischaemic injury (R=0.046, P=0.006) and plasma neutrophils (R=0.37, P=0.017). Experimental AMI in wild-type mice induced a significant increase in peripheral blood neutrophils and a simultaneous reduction in splenic-neutrophils, suggesting splenic-neutrophil deployment (P=0.004). Human plasma EV are enriched for vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) and EC-associated miR-126 post-AMI (Akbar et al 2017). miRNA-126-mRNA targets are significantly over represented when compared to neutrophil Gene Ontology terms for: degranulation (P<0.001), activation (P<0.001), chemotaxis (P=0.008) and migration (P=0.008). Human and mouse EC release more EV after inflammatory stimulation and show enrichment for miRNA-126. CRISPR-edited miRNA-126 deficient human EC express more VCAM-1 (P<0.001) and release more EC-EVs (P<0.001). EC-EV exposure to primary human neutrophils alters inflammatory gene expression (IL-6 (P<0.05), CCL7 (P<0.001) and CCL18 (P<0.001)). EC-EV tail vein injected into wild-type mice mobilise splenic-neutrophils to peripheral blood (P<0.001).
Conclusions
Neutrophil deployment from the spleen is a novel finding in acute injury and interactions with EC-EV may mediate their splenic liberation and transcriptional programming following AMI, en route to the injured myocardium. The splenic neutrophil reserve may be a novel therapeutic target in AMI to modulate the inflammatory response before recruitment of cells to sites of injury.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCA) associated vasculitis (AAV) are rare small and medium vessel vasculitides that include granulomatosis polyangiitis (GPA), microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) and eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA). This retrospective review summarises the clinical features of a cohort of patients with childhood onset AAV at a single tertiary centre in the North West of England.
Methods
Identification of all patients with diagnosis of ANCA-associated vasculitis diagnosed from 2014 to 2019, using department database and PEDVAS data. Clinical information was collected retrospectively using electronic patient record and case notes.
Results
10 patients with AAV were identified, with GPA being the most common diagnosis (7 patients). 2 patients had MPA and 1 had EGPA. All patients with GPA fulfilled consensus EULAR/PRES criteria. The EGPA patient fulfilled ACR classification criteria.1 MPA patient fulfilled Chapel Hill Consensus Conference criteria. MPA presented in a younger age group compared to EGPA. AAV was more common in females, 8:2 female to male ratio, Table 1 .
All patients had pulmonary and renal involvement, with the exception of one EGPA patient having pulmonary disease with no evidence of glomerulonephritis (GN). MPA patients had significant renal disease and presented early, within 1 month of clinical symptoms. GPA patients had an average duration of symptoms of 2.5 months before presentation. GPA patients were mainly cANCA PR3 positive and MPA patients were MPO positive. The EGPA patient was not ANCA positive but had histological diagnosis of granulomatous vasculitis.
3 patients with GPA underwent plasmapheresis, with evidence of proliferative GN and pulmonary disease at presentation. One of these patients sustained pulmonary haemorrhage. The 2 patients with MPA presented with significant renal failure; one patient died 19 months after diagnosis, the other had renal transplant.
All patients received cyclophosphamide and required further immunosuppression with either DMARD or biologic. Most patients remain on MMF or rituximab as maintenance therapy which appears successful in maintaining remission so far.
P31 Table 1: Demographics and clinical features of patients with AAV GPA, n = 7 MPA, n = 2 EGPA, n = 1 Gender F:M 6:1 2:0 0:1 Mean age at onset 13.2 (8.7- 15) 5.9 (2.3- 9.6) 11.8 (years) Mean duration of follow-up (months) 23.2 (5- 36) 28.5 (19- 38) 53 Mean duration of symptoms 2.5 (1-6) 1 (1) 11 pre-presentation (months) ENT 4 1 1 Pulmonary 7 2 1 Renal 7 2 0 Asthma 0 0 1 Eosinophilia 0 0 1 ANCA PR3 +ve 6 0 0 ANCA MPO +ve 1 2 0 ESRF 0 2 0 Death 0 1 0 Plasmapheresis 3 2 0 Cyclophosphamide 7 2 1 Azathioprine 3 1 1 MMF 3 2 1 Rituximab 4 1 1
Conclusion
Childhood onset AAV are severe diseases with significant morbidity and mortality. Rituximab was found to be effective in induction as well as maintenance therapy in our patients. In our cohort, children had multi-system involvement at presentation. Clinicians should investigate thoroughly for ENT, pulmonary and renal complications at diagnosis.

Abstract
Background Juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) is more severe than adult-onset disease, including more lupus nephritis (LN). Despite differences in phenotype/pathogenesis, treatment is based upon adult trials. This study aimed to compare treatment response, damage accrual, time to inactive LN and subsequent flare, in JSLE LN patients treated with mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) versus intravenous cyclophosphamide (IVCYC). Methods UK JSLE Cohort Study participants, ≤16 years at diagnosis, with ≥4 American College of Rheumatology criteria for SLE, with class III or IV LN, were eligible. Mann–Whitney U tests, Fisher's exact test and Chi-squared tests were utilized for statistical analysis. Results Of the patients, 34/51 (67%) received MMF, and 17/51 (33%) received IVCYC. No significant differences were identified at 4–8 and 10–14 months post-renal biopsy and last follow-up, in terms of renal British Isles Lupus Assessment Grade scores, urine albumin/creatinine ratio, serum creatinine, ESR, anti-dsDNA antibody, C3 levels and patient/physician global scores. Standardized Damage Index scores did not differ between groups at 13 months or at last follow-up. Inactive LN was attained 262 (141–390) days after MMF treatment, and 151 (117–305) days following IVCYC ( p = 0.17). Time to renal flare was 451 (157–1266) days for MMF, and 343 (198–635) days for IVCYC ( p = 0.47). Conclusion This is the largest study to date investigating induction treatments for proliferative LN in children, demonstrating comparability of MMF and IVCYC.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To describe current United Kingdom practice in assessment and management of patients with juvenile localised scleroderma (JLS) compared to Paediatric Rheumatology European Society (PRES) scleroderma working party recommendations. METHODS Patients were included if they were diagnosed with JLS and were under the care of paediatric rheumatology between 04/2015-04/2016. Retrospective data was collected in eleven UK centres using a standardised proforma and collated centrally. RESULTS 149 patients were included with a median age of 12.5 years. The outcome measures recommended by the PRES scleroderma working party were not utilised widely. The localised scleroderma cutaneous assessment tool was only used in 37.6% of patients. Screening for extracutaneous manifestations did not meet recommendations that patients with head involvement have regular screening for uveitis and baseline magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain: only 38.5% of these patients were ever screened for uveitis; 71.2% had a MRI brain. Systemic treatment with disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) or biologics was widely used (96.0%). In keeping with the recommendations, 95.5% of patients were treated with methotrexate as first-line therapy. 82.6% received systemic corticosteroids and 34.2% of patients required two or more DMARDs/biologics, highlighting the significant treatment burden. Second-line treatment was mycophenolate mofetil in 89.5%. CONCLUSION There is wide variation in assessment and screening of patients with JLS but a consistent approach to systemic treatment within UK paediatric rheumatology. Improved awareness of PRES recommendations is required to ensure standardised care. As recommendations are based on low level evidence and consensus opinion, further studies are needed to better define outcome measures and treatment regimens for JLS.

Abstract
The cobas Liat influenza A/B and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) assay (Liat) was used in the adult emergency department of a large London hospital from 21st January 2018 to 14th April 2018. Influenza was detected in 308 of 1027 (30%) samples tested; influenza A in 157 (15.3%), influenza B in 149 (14.5%) and RSV in 28 (2.7%). When compared against Fast Track Diagnostics Respiratory Pathogens 21 multiplex polymerase chain reaction and Cepheid Xpert Xpress Flu/RSV assay, Liat performance for the detection of influenza A or B was: sensitivity 85% [95% confidence interval (CI) 76–92)], specificity 98% (95% CI 97–99), negative predictive value 94% (95% CI 92–96) and positive predictive value 95% (95% CI 91–97).

Abstract
BACKGROUND During high-incidence influenza seasons, a robust infection prevention and control policy is imperative to reduce nosocomial transmission of influenza. AIM To assess the impact of influenza point-of-care testing (POCT) in an emergency department (ED) and patient cohorting on an influenza ward on infection prevention and control and clinical outcomes. METHODS Influenza POCT was operational in the study ED from 21st January 2018 and patient cohorting was operational on an influenza ward from 25th January 2018. A retrospective 'before-after' analysis was performed with pre-intervention defined as 1st November 2017 to 20th January 2018 and post-intervention defined as 21st January 2018 to 30th April 2018. The primary outcome was the rate of hospital-acquired influenza. Secondary outcomes included antiviral prescription and length of stay. The length of time that inpatients remained influenza-positive was estimated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR). FINDINGS There were 654 inpatients with confirmed influenza during the 2017/18 influenza season: 223 pre- and 431 post-intervention. Post-intervention, there were fewer cases of hospital-acquired influenza per day (0.66 vs 0.95, P < 0.0001), median length of stay was shorter (5.5 vs 7.5 days, P = 0.005) and antiviral prescription was more frequent (80% vs 64.1%, P < 0.0001). Cohorting released 779 single rooms for use elsewhere in the trust. The fixed probability of being PCR-negative by the next day (P) was 0.14 [95% confidence interval (CI) 0.12-0.16] for immunocompetent patients. This implies that half of immunocompetent patients are PCR-negative by five days post-diagnosis (95% CI 5-6). CONCLUSION Influenza POCT in an ED and patient cohorting on an influenza ward were associated with reduced nosocomial transmission of influenza and improved patient flow. A policy of retesting immunocompetent patients five days post-diagnosis could allow half of these patients to come out of respiratory isolation earlier.

Abstract
In this paper we present an assessment of the status of models of the global Solar Wind in the inner heliosphere. We limit our discussion to the class of models designed to provide solar wind forecasts, excluding those designed for the purpose of testing physical processes in idealized configurations. In addition, we limit our discussion to modeling of the 'ambient' wind in the absence of coronal mass ejections. In this assessment we cover use of the models both in forecast mode and as tools for scientific research. We present a brief history of the development of these models, discussing the range of physical approximations in use. We discuss the limitations of the data inputs available to these models and its impact on their quality. We also discuss current model development trends.

Abstract
Effective space-weather prediction and mitigation requires accurate forecasting of near-Earth solar-wind conditions. Numerical magnetohydrodynamic models of the solar wind, driven by remote solar observations, are gaining skill at forecasting the large-scale solar-wind features that give rise to near-Earth variations over days and weeks. There remains a need for accurate short-term (hours to days) solar-wind forecasts, however. In this study we investigate the analogue ensemble (AnEn), or "similar day", approach that was developed for atmospheric weather forecasting. The central premise of the AnEn is that past variations that are analogous or similar to current conditions can be used to provide a good estimate of future variations. By considering an ensemble of past analogues, the AnEn forecast is inherently probabilistic and provides a measure of the forecast uncertainty. We show that forecasts of solar-wind speed can be improved by considering both speed and density when determining past analogues, whereas forecasts of the out-of-ecliptic magnetic field [ B N ] are improved by also considering the in-ecliptic magnetic-field components. In general, the best forecasts are found by considering only the previous 6 - 12 hours of observations. Using these parameters, the AnEn provides a valuable probabilistic forecast for solar-wind speed, density, and in-ecliptic magnetic field over lead times from a few hours to around four days. For B N , which is central to space-weather disturbance, the AnEn only provides a valuable forecast out to around six to seven hours. As the inherent predictability of this parameter is low, this is still likely a marked improvement over other forecast methods. We also investigate the use of the AnEn in forecasting geomagnetic indices Dst and Kp. The AnEn provides a valuable probabilistic forecast of both indices out to around four days. We outline a number of future improvements to AnEn forecasts of near-Earth solar-wind and geomagnetic conditions.

Abstract
Objectives The Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) group proposed revised classification criteria for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLICC-2012 criteria). This study aimed to compare these criteria with the well-established American College of Rheumatology classification criteria (ACR-1997 criteria) in a national cohort of juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (JSLE) patients and evaluate how patients' classification criteria evolved over time. Methods Data from patients in the UK JSLE Cohort Study with a senior clinician diagnosis of probable evolving, or definite JSLE, were analyzed. Patients were assessed using both classification criteria within 1 year of diagnosis and at latest follow up (following a minimum 12-month follow-up period). Results A total of 226 patients were included. The SLICC-2012 was more sensitive than ACR-1997 at diagnosis (92.9% versus 84.1% p < 0.001) and after follow up (100% versus 92.0% p < 0.001). Most patients meeting the SLICC-2012 criteria and not the ACR-1997 met more than one additional criterion on the SLICC-2012. Conclusions The SLICC-2012 was better able to classify patients with JSLE than the ACR-1997 and did so at an earlier stage in their disease course. SLICC-2012 should be considered for classification of JSLE patients in observational studies and clinical trial eligibility.

Abstract
The most recent "grand minimum" of solar activity, the Maunder minimum (MM, 1650-1710), is of great interest both for understanding the solar dynamo and providing insight into possible future heliospheric conditions. Here, we use nearly 30 years of output from a data-constrained magnetohydrodynamic model of the solar corona to calibrate heliospheric reconstructions based solely on sunspot observations. Using these empirical relations, we produce the first quantitative estimate of global solar wind variations over the last 400 years. Relative to the modern era, the MM shows a factor 2 reduction in near-Earth heliospheric magnetic field strength and solar wind speed, and up to a factor 4 increase in solar wind Mach number. Thus solar wind energy input into the Earth's magnetosphere was reduced, resulting in a more Jupiter-like system, in agreement with the dearth of auroral reports from the time. The global heliosphere was both smaller and more symmetric under MM conditions, which has implications for the interpretation of cosmogenic radionuclide data and resulting total solar irradiance estimates during grand minima.

Abstract
We identify all fast-mode forward shocks, whose sheath regions resulted in a moderate (56 cases) or intense (38 cases) geomagnetic storm during 18.5 years from January 1997 to June 2015. We study their main properties, interplanetary causes and geo-effects. We find that half (49/94) such shocks are associated with interacting coronal mass ejections (CMEs), as they are either shocks propagating into a preceding CME (35 cases) or a shock propagating into the sheath region of a preceding shock (14 cases). About half (22/45) of the shocks driven by isolated transients and which have geo-effective sheaths compress pre-existing southward Bz . Most of the remaining sheaths appear to have planar structures with southward magnetic fields, including some with planar structures consistent with field line draping ahead of the magnetic ejecta. A typical (median) geo-effective shock-sheath structure drives a geomagnetic storm with peak Dst of -88 nT, pushes the subsolar magnetopause location to 6.3 RE, i.e. below geosynchronous orbit and is associated with substorms with a peak AL-index of -1350 nT. There are some important differences between sheaths associated with CME-CME interaction (stronger storms) and those associated with isolated CMEs (stronger compression of the magnetosphere). We detail six case studies of different types of geo-effective shock-sheaths, as well as two events for which there was no geomagnetic storm but other magnetospheric effects. Finally, we discuss our results in terms of space weather forecasting, and potential effects on Earth's radiation belts.

Abstract
AIM To identify additional risk factors other than asphyxia and hypothermia in newborns developing subcutaneous fat necrosis (SCFN). METHODS We conducted a prospective cohort study of all term asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia from 2008 to 2015. The presence and location of SCFN were recorded at the time of discharge or at follow-up visits. To identify the risk factors for developing SCFN, we compared the perinatal characteristics of those newborns who developed SCFN with those who did not. RESULTS The newborns developing SCFN had significantly higher birthweights compared with those newborns who did not develop SCFN. Among the newborns with a birthweight equal or superior to the 90th percentile, those who developed SCFN had a significantly higher use of inotropic support and higher maximum troponin levels during their initial hospitalisation. CONCLUSION A higher birthweight represented an independent risk factor for developing SCFN in asphyxiated newborns treated with hypothermia. When macrosomia is present, other risk factors related to haemodynamic instability during the initial hospitalisation may also increase the risk of developing SCFN.

Abstract
In the UK, as elsewhere, there is potential to improve how radiological challenges are addressed through improvement in, or development of, a strong radiation protection (RP) safety culture. In preliminary work in the UK, two areas have been identified as having a strong influence on UK society: the healthcare and nuclear industry sectors. Each has specific challenges, but with many overlapping common factors. Other sectors will benefit from further consideration.In order to make meaningful comparisons between these two principal sectors, this paper is primarily concerned with cultural aspects of RP in the working environment and occupational exposures rather than patient doses.The healthcare sector delivers a large collective dose to patients each year, particularly for diagnostic purposes, which continues to increase. Although patient dose is not the focus, it must be recognised that collective patient dose is inevitably linked to collective occupational exposure, especially in interventional procedures.The nuclear industry faces major challenges as work moves from operations to decommissioning on many sites. This involves restarting work in the plants responsible for the much higher radiation doses of the 1960/70s, but also performing tasks that are considerably more difficult and hazardous than those original performed in these plants.Factors which influence RP safety culture in the workplace are examined, and proposals are considered for a series of actions that may lead to an improvement in RP culture with an associated reduction in dose in many work areas. These actions include methods to improve knowledge and awareness of radiation safety, plus ways to influence management and colleagues in the workplace. The exchange of knowledge about safety culture between the nuclear industry and medical areas may act to develop RP culture in both sectors, and have a wider impact in other sectors where exposures to ionising radiations can occur.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine whether mucocutaneous manifestations are associated with major organ involvement in a UK national cohort of juvenile-onset SLE (JSLE) patients. METHODS JSLE patients (n = 241) from 15 different centres whose diagnosis fulfilled four or more of the ACR criteria were divided into two groups: those with at least one ACR mucocutaneous criterion (ACR skin feature positive) and those without (ACR skin feature negative) at diagnosis. The relative frequency of skin involvement was described by the paediatric adaptation of the 2004 British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (pBILAG-2004) index. RESULTS One hundred and seventy-nine patients (74%) had ACR-defined skin involvement with no significant demographic differences compared with those without. ACR skin feature negative patients showed greater haematological (84% vs 67%), renal (43% vs 26%) (P < 0.05) and neurological (16% vs 4%) involvement (P = 0.001). Forty-two per cent of ACR skin feature negative patients had skin involvement using pBILAG-2004, which included maculopapular rash (17%), non-scaring alopecia (15%), cutaneous vasculitis (12%) and RP (12%). ACR skin feature negative patients with moderate to severe skin involvement by pBILAG-2004 showed greater renal and haematological involvement at diagnosis and over the follow-up period (P < 0.05). Higher immunosuppressive drug use in the skin feature negative group was demonstrated. CONCLUSION Patients who fulfil the ACR criteria but without any of the mucocutaneous criteria at diagnosis have an increased risk of major organ involvement. The pBILAG-2004 index has shown that other skin lesions may go undetected using the ACR criteria alone, and these lesions show a strong correlation with disease severity and major organ involvement.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The UK Juvenile-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (JSLE) Cohort Study is a multicenter collaborative network established with the aim of improving the understanding of juvenile SLE. The present study was undertaken to describe the clinical manifestations and disease course in patients with juvenile SLE from this large, national inception cohort. METHODS Detailed data on clinical phenotype were collected at baseline and at regular clinic reviews and annual followup assessments in 232 patients from 14 centers across the UK over 4.5 years. Patients with SLE were identified according to the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE classification criteria. The present cohort comprised children with juvenile SLE (n=198) whose diagnosis fulfilled ≥4 of the ACR criteria for SLE. RESULTS Among patients with juvenile SLE, the female:male sex distribution was 5.6:1 and the median age at diagnosis was 12.6 years (interquartile range 10.4-14.5 years). Male patients were younger than female patients (P<0.01). Standardized ethnicity data demonstrated a greater risk of juvenile SLE in non-Caucasian UK patients (P<0.05). Scores on the pediatric adaptation of the 2004 British Isles Lupus Assessment Group disease activity index demonstrated significantly increased frequencies of musculoskeletal (82%), renal (80%), hematologic (91%), immunologic (54%), and neurologic (26%) involvement among the patients over time. A large proportion of the patients (93%) were taking steroids and 24% of the patients required treatment with cyclophosphamide. Disease damage was common, with 28% of the patients having a Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/ACR damage score of ≥1. CONCLUSION The data on these patients from the UK JSLE Cohort Study, comprising one of the largest national inception cohorts of patients with juvenile SLE to date, indicate that severe organ involvement and significant disease activity are primary characteristics in children with juvenile SLE. In addition, accumulation of disease-associated damage could be seen.

Abstract
The panniculitides are a group of heterogeneous inflammatory diseases involving the subcutaneous fat, the pathogenesis of which is poorly understood. Here, we report on a female infant with Prader-Willi syndrome who developed a systemic inflammatory disorder in the neonatal period demonstrating recurrent panniculitis as a prominent feature. This is the second report of an association between Prader-Willi syndrome and panniculitis. Such an association might be explained by the unmasking of a recessive allele as a consequence of hemizygosity, in the case of a 15q11 deletion, or homozygosity, in the case of maternal isodisomy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Meticillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) colonization on neonatal units is a common and important clinical problem. Effectiveness of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for detecting MRSA nasal colonization of infants was evaluated and compared to culture-based methods. The effect of skin decolonization in affected infants was studied. METHODS Paired nasal swabs were collected from infants in our neonatal unit over a 12-month period (September 2007-2008). Colonization with MRSA was determined with a commercially available PCR method and compared to culture. RESULTS A total of 696 paired nasal swabs were taken. Three infants were colonized at the beginning and were included. There were positive PCRs in 12 infants. Five infants cultured MRSA from a nasal swab at the same time. No infants were culture-positive when PCR was negative (sensitivity 100%, specificity 99% compared to culture). PCR results were available within 24 h. Five infants were PCR+ and isolated meticillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. This organism gave a false-positive PCR result. Two infants transferred in on broad-spectrum antibiotics were PCR+ and negative by culture. Decolonization led to negative nasal PCR and culture in 4/5 infants to discharge. CONCLUSIONS PCR methods are sensitive and specific for detection of MRSA colonization in newborn infants of all gestations with results 1-2 days before culture.
