To determine the association of normal end row loops (ERL) at diagnosis of juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) with clinical findings in untreated children and identify predictors of the development of decreased ERL. Clinical and laboratory data of 80 untreated children with JDM were collected. ERL scores were recorded at time of diagnosis, and at 24 months and 36 months thereafter. Twelve children with normal ERL at diagnosis were compared with the remaining 68 children. Outcomes included: duration of untreated disease, time on immunosuppresive medications, family medical history, disease activity score (DAS), and levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), aldolase, absolute CD3−CD56+/16+ NK cells, and von Willebrand factor antigen (vWF:Ag). Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses were performed. At diagnosis, children with normal ERL had a shorter duration of untreated disease (p=0.03) and a lower skin DAS (p=0.045). Over time, an increased likelihood for having abnormal ERL was associated with a longer duration of untreated disease and with higher skin DAS. The presence of a normal number of ERL in JDM appears to be associated with a shorter duration of symptoms and may be a useful indicator of disease chronicity in the newly diagnosed child. Normal ERL is also associated with lower skin DAS. The lack of association between normal ERL and other variables indicates that normal NFC should not be used as a justification to delay immunosuppressive therapy in children with typical JDM symptoms.
