项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The candidate is a junior investigator in pediatric rheumatology with advance training in clinical epidemiology and a research focus on pharmacoepidemiology and comparative effectiveness of chronic rheumatic disease, including enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA), which is a category of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). The candidate proposes a comprehensive interdisciplinary program that will provide her with the skills and experience for her development into an independent clinical investigator in pediatric rheumatology. Her career development will be guided by a comprehensive group of co-investigators with a long history of productive collaboration. The project will build upon the foundations of pharmacoepidemiology and clinical epidemiology research knowledge that she obtained during her MSCE training and thesis work and will prepare her to conduct intervention studies in children with all forms of JIA. JIA is the most common rheumatologic condition in childhood, affecting 1 to 4 per 1,000 children. ERA is a JIA category that accounts for 10-20% of JIA. Physicians treat ERA to control inflammation and to prevent morbidities such as chronic uveitis, growth disturbance, contracture, joint destruction, and functional limitation. A subset of children with ERA will progress to ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a condition characterized by spinal and back pain, stiffness, and eventual fusion of the vertebra. Observational studies suggest that less than 20% of children with ERA achieve remission within five years after diagnosis. Significant challenges to providing and studying ERA treatment today are limited by methods for assessing enthesitis, disease activity, and response to therapy. The proposed plan of research addresses these challenges and will (1) evaluate the accuracy of physical examination to detect enthesitis, (2) develop and validate a composite ERA disease activity index, and (3) compare the effectiveness and safety of alternative treatment strategies in incident cases of ERA. This research will provide the preliminary data, hypotheses, and outcome measures for future safety, efficacy, and cost- effectiveness studies of ERA treatment algorithms.

描述（由申请人提供）：候选人是儿科风湿病学的初级研究员，接受过临床流行病学的高级培训，研究重点是药物流行病学和慢性风湿性疾病的比较有效性，包括附着点炎相关关节炎（ERA），这是青少年特发性关节炎（JIA）的一种。候选人提出了一个全面的跨学科计划，将为她提供的技能和经验，她的发展成为一个独立的临床研究者在儿科风湿病。她的职业发展将由一个全面的合作调查小组指导，该小组具有长期的富有成效的合作历史。该项目将建立在药物流行病学和临床流行病学研究知识的基础上，她在她的MSCE培训和论文工作中获得，并将准备她进行干预研究的儿童与所有形式的JIA。JIA是儿童期最常见的风湿性疾病，每1,000名儿童中有1至4名受影响。ERA是JIA类别，占JIA的10-20%。医生治疗ERA以控制炎症并预防诸如慢性葡萄膜炎、生长障碍、挛缩、关节破坏和功能限制等疾病。一部分ERA患儿会发展为强直性脊柱炎（AS），其特征是脊柱和背部疼痛、僵硬，最终导致椎骨融合。观察性研究表明，不到20%的ERA儿童在诊断后五年内获得缓解。目前提供和研究ERA治疗的重大挑战受到评估附着点炎、疾病活动和治疗反应的方法的限制。拟议的研究计划解决了这些挑战，并将（1）评价体格检查检测附着点炎的准确性，（2）开发和验证复合ERA疾病活动指数，（3）比较ERA事件病例中替代治疗策略的有效性和安全性。本研究将为ERA治疗算法的未来安全性、有效性和成本效益研究提供初步数据、假设和结局指标。
