      <i><p>Objective</i>: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) comprises 7 heterogeneous categories of chronic childhood arthritides. Approximately 5% of children with JIA have rheumatoid factor (RF)–positive arthritis, which phenotypically resembles adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Our objective was to compare and contrast the genetics of RF‐positive polyarticular JIA with those of RA and selected other ...
    • Bronkiolitt skal ikke behandles med glukokortikoider eller antibiotika 

      Nordal, Ellen Berit; Granslo, Hildegunn Norbakken; Esaiassen, Eirin; Leknessund, Carina Benedikte Bjørkvoll; Forsdahl, Bård Anders (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-30)
      Vi er inne i en hektisk sesong med virale luftveisinfeksjoner. Respiratorisk syncytialvirus (RS-virus) er den hyppigste årsaken til bronkiolitt hos barn. Pediatriveilederen er tydelig på at perorale glukokortikoider ikke har noen plass i behandlingen av bronkiolitt og at det sjelden er behov for antibiotika.

    • Disease activity and outcome in juvenile idiopathic arthritis - a longitudinal cohort study in the Nordic countries 

      Nordal, Ellen Berit (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2012-05-16)
      SUMMARY This thesis is based on the Nordic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) cohort study. In a multi-centre population-based setting a prospective followup of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) was performed. Pediatric rheumatology centers in Denmark, Finland, Norway and Sweden included children with newly diagnosed JIA during a 3.5 year period starting January 1st 1997. The study was focused ...

    • Fine-mapping the MHC locus in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) reveals genetic heterogeneity corresponding to distinct adult inflammatory arthritic diseases 

      Hinks, A; Bowes, J; Cobb, J; Ainsworth, HC; Marion, MC; Comeau, ME; Sudman, M; Han, B; Becker, ML; Bohnsack, JF; de Bakker, PIW; Haas, JP; Hazen, M; Lovell, DJ; Nigrovic, PA; Nordal, Ellen Berit; Punnaro, M; Rosenberg, AM; Rygg, Marite; Smith, S.L.; Wise, CA; Videm, Vibeke; Wedderburn, LR; Yarwood, A; Yeung, RSM; Prahalad, S; Langefeld, CD; Raychaudhuri, S; Thompson, SD; Thomson, W (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-20)
      Objectives: Juvenile idiopathic arthritis ( JIA) is a heterogeneous group of diseases, comprising seven categories. Genetic data could potentially be used to help redefine JIA categories and improve the current classification system. The human leucocyte antigen (HLA) region is strongly associated with JIA. Fine-mapping of the region was performed to look for similarities and differences in ...
    • Growing up with chronic arthritis: the confusing matter of classification 

      Nordal, Ellen Berit; Guillaume-Czitrom, Severine; Sibilia, Jean (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-05-09)
      Disease classification in rheumatology is a matter of debate, in paediatrics between International League Against Rheumatism (ILAR) classification ‘pros and cons’, as well as between paediatric and adult rheumatologists. Indeed, there is no consensus yet about how we should name the disease of adults with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in childhood. The non-concordance of adult and paediatric ...
    • HLA-B27 predicts a more extended disease with increasing age at onset in boys with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-16)
      TRAF1/C5 was among the first loci shown to confer risk for inflammatory arthritis in the absence of an associated coding variant, but its genetic mechanism remains undefined. Using Immunochip data from 3,939 patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and 14,412 control individuals, we identified 132 plausible common non-coding variants, reduced serially by single-nucleotide polymorphism ...

    • M-ficolin: a valuable biomarker to identify leukaemia from juvenile idiopathic arthritis 

      Brix, Ninna; Glerup, Mia; Thiel, Steffen; Mistegaard, Clara Elbæk; Skals, Regitze Gyldenholm; Berntson, Lillemor; Fasth, Anders; Nielsen, Susan Mary; Nordal, Ellen Berit; Rygg, Marite; Hasle, Henrik; Albertsen, Birgitte Klug; Herlin, Troels (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-10-22)
      Objective: Distinction on clinical grounds between acute lymphoblastic leukaemia presenting with arthropathy (ALLarthropathy) and juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is difficult, as the clinical and paraclinical signs of leukaemia may be vague. The primary aim was to examine the use of lectin complement pathway proteins as markers to differentiate ALLarthropathy from JIA. The secondary aims were ...
    • Management of Orofacial Manifestations of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Interdisciplinary Consensus-Based Recommendations 

      Stoustrup, Peter; Resnick, Cory M.; Abramowicz, Shelly; Pedersen, Thomas K.; Michelotti, Ambra; Küseler, Annelise; Koos, Bernd; Verna, Carlalberta; Nordal, Ellen Berit; Granquist, Eric J.; Halbig, Josefine Mareile; Kristensen, Kasper Dahl; Kaban, Leonard B.; Arvidsson, Linda Zamoline; Spiegel, Lynn; Stoll, Matthew L.; Lerman, Melissa A.; Glerup, Mia; Defabianis, Patrizia; Frid, Paula Hanna Therese; Alstergren, Per; Cron, Randy Q.; Ringold, Sarah; Nørholt, Sven Erik; Peltomaki, Timo; Larheim, Tore Arne; Herlin, Troels; Peacock, Zachary S.; Kellenberger, Christian J.; Twilt, Marinka (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-08-30)
      Involvement of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) is common in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). TMJ arthritis can lead to orofacial symptoms, orofacial dysfunction, and dentofacial deformity with negative impact on quality of life. Management involves interdisciplinary collaboration. No current recommendations exist to guide clinical management. We undertook this study to develop consensus-based ...

      Background Differential diagnosis in children with signs of unprovoked inflammation can be challenging. In particular, differentiating systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (SJIA) from other diagnoses is difficult. We have recently validated the complex of myeloid-related proteins 8/14 (MRP8/14, also known as S100A8/A9 complex or serum calprotectin) as a helpful biomarker supporting the diagnosis ...
