      Objective - To explore sustainability of achieved remission off medication and defined International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) categories in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and describe the trajectory of disease course over time by comparing treatment, disease activity, and ILAR categories from baseline, 8 years, and 18 years after disease onset.<p> <p>Methods - A total ...
    • Exposure to an Extended-Interval, High-Dose Gentamicin Regimen in the Neonatal Period Is Not Associated With Long-Term Nephrotoxicity

      Objectives: To assess the association between gentamicin exposure and subclinical signs of nephrotoxicity in school children who were exposed to a high-dose gentamicin regimen in the neonatal period.<p> <p>Methods: Children receiving three or more doses (6 mg/kg) of gentamicin as neonates were invited to a follow-up in school age. We evaluated potential signs of subclinical nephrotoxicity with ...

      Background: With juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), there are several protocols and practices used worldwide for the transition from paediatric to adult care. In this study, we examined the transferral rates and disease activity after transition, as well as the disease- and health-related outcomes. We also introduce the transition practices employed in the Nordic countries.<p> <p>Methods: The ...
