BACKGROUNDTo investigate the clinical features, management, and outcomes of childhood Takayasu arteritis (c-TA) initially presenting with hypertension.METHODSThis study retrospectively reviewed medical charts of 96 inpatient c-TA cases from January 2002 to December 2016, with 5 additional patients being prospectively recruited from January 2017 to December 2017. Data were compared between c-TA groups initially presenting with and without hypertension. Blood pressure (BP) control, event-free survival, and associated risk factors were assessed by logistic regression, Kaplan-Meier survival curve, and COX regression models.RESULTSThe hypertensive cohort (N = 71, 28.2% males) as compared with non-hypertensive cohort had significantly fewer active diseases; fewer episodes of claudication, syncope, blurred vision, and myocardial ischemia; and fewer systemic symptoms (P < 0.05). The hypertensive group presented with more localized abdominal lesions (OR = 14.4, P = 0.001) and limited supradiaphragmatic arterial involvement. Renovascular disease (P = 0.001) and revascularization (P = 0.006) were associated with hypertension. At the median 3-year follow-up, 53% of hypertensive patients achieved BP control and 39% experienced events including vascular vival were 78.7% (95% CI: 65.7%-87.2%), 63.0% (95% CI: 48.1%-74.7%), 48.9% (95% CI: 32.0%-63.8%), and 31.6% (95% CI: 13.8%-51.2%), higher than in non-hypertensive group (P = 0.014). Heart failure, stroke, and body mass index < 18.5 kg/m(2) were prognostic factors for events. Intervention and baseline systolic BP were independent factors for BP control (P < 0.05).CONCLUSIONSMajority of c-TA has hypertension, presenting with a more quiescent disease without typical systemic and/or ischemia symptoms, more localized abdominal lesions, higher proportion of revascularizations and better event-free survival. Three-year BP control is more than 50%. Intervention particularly on renal artery is beneficial for BP control and decreased events.
