RESUMO
We conducted a retrospective chart review for all 42 patients, 9 males and 33 females, diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic oligoarthritis between July 1995 and October 2004 at the paediatric rheumatology clinic in King Hussein Medical Centre. Age range was 1.2-15.2 years, mean 3.6 (standard deviation 2.4) years. Of those <6 years, 80% were females. Most patients (64%) had monoarthritis; the knee was the most common joint affected (71%). Two patients had developed extended oligoarthritis. Nine (21%) had asymptomatic uveitis: 6 females (P = 0.350), 7 (77%) <3 years of age (P = 0.301) and 7 (77%) with antinuclear antibodies (ANAs) (P = 0.071). Eighteen (43%) females were positive for ANAs. Most patients had undergone unnecessary, lengthy work-up and treatment before diagnosis.

Using the life table method, 962 cases of infarction, 279 cases of hemorrhage, and 243 cases of undetermined type of stroke, occurring in Manitoba between Jan 1, 1970, and June 30, 1971, were analyzed for factors affecting survival. Survival until Dec 31, 1973, was found to be adversely affected by the presence of coma or unconsciousness and the absence of localizing signs and symptoms. Also, the prognosis was poor if the heart was enlarged on the x-ray film or the ECG was abnormal. On the other hand, the presence of individual clinical entities such as hypertension, hypertensive heart disease, myocardial infarction, atrial fibrillation, or diabetes did not affect the survival significantly. These findings will help in predicting the prognosis and in planning for management of stroke cases.
