Abstract Uvod: Sustavna skleroza (SSc) je rijetka bolest vezivnog tkiva, klinički obilježena poremećajima u vaskularnim, imunološkim i fibroznim putevima. Određivanje stadija kapilaroskopije nokatne ploče danas se koristi kao marker za aktivnost i težinu bolesti, te za rano dijagnosticiranje SSc prije kliničkih manifestacija bolesti.
Cilj istraživanja: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je odrediti stadij kapilaroskopije nokatne ploče u bolesnika sa SSc, te odrediti moguću povezanost stadija kapilaroskopije s aktivnosti bolesti, zbrojem zahvaćenosti organa po Medsger-u, modificiranim Rodnanovim kožnim zbrojem, samoprocjenom zdravstvenog statusa određenom SHAQ upitnikom, te duljinom trajanja bolesti.
Metode: U istraživanju smo određivali stadij kapilaroskopije u 17 bolesnika sa SSc uz pomoć videokapilaroskopije nokatne ploče (engl. NVC – nailfold videocapillaroscopy). Iz dobivenih podataka o stadiju kapilaroskopije tražili smo povezanost stadija kapilaroskoskopije s aktivnosti bolesti određene Valentinijevim indeksom aktivnosti, zahvaćenosti kože kvantificirane modificiranim Rodnanovim kožnim zbrojem, težinom kliničke slike određenom uz pomoć Medsger-ovog zbroja, samoprocjenom zdravstvenog statusa uz pomoć SHAQ upitnika, te duljinom trajanja bolesti.
Rezultati: Od ukupno 17 pacijenata, kod 6 pacijenata utvrđen je rani stadij, kod 7 aktivni stadij, a kod 4 kasni stadij mikrovaskularnih promjena nokatne ploče. Statistički značajne razlike (P<0,05) bile su u vrijednostima indeksa aktivnosti bolesti po Valentiniju, Medsger-ovog zbroja zahvaćenosti organa te modificiranog Rodnanovog kožnog zbroja. Ispitanici s utvrđenim aktivnim stadijem kapilaroskopije imali su najveće vrijednosti navedenih varijabli. Nadalje, kod ACA pozitivnih bolesnika sa SSc, utvrđena je statistički značajna povezanost aktivnog stadija kapilaroskopije sa povećanom aktivnosti bolesti u oboljelih od SSc
Zaključak: Istraživanje provedeno u ovom diplomskom radu upućuje na povezanost stadija kapilaroskopije s aktivnosti osnovne bolesti, težinom kliničke slike određene Medsger-ovim zbrojem te modificiranim Rodnanovim kožnim zbrojem. S obzirom na mali broj pacijenata uključenih u ovo istraživanje, za potpunu potvrdu zaključaka ovog ispitivanja potrebna su dodatna istraživanja na većem broju pacijenata.
Abstract (english) Background: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease, clinically characterized by disorders in vascular, immunological, and fibrotic pathways. Nailfold videocapillaroscopy score is used as a marker for disease activity and severity, also for early diagnose of SSc, even before clinical manifestations of the disease.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the capillaroscopy score (the degree of microvascular damage) of SSc patients and to determine the possible association of capillaroscopy stage with the activity index, disease severity, modified Rodnan's Skin Score, Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire score and disease duration.
Methods: In this study we determined the capillaroscopy score (the degree of microvascular damage) in 17 patients with SSc using the Nailfold Videocapillaroscopy (NCV). From the obtained data on capillaroscopy score, we searched for the correlation of the capillaroscopy stage and Valentini's disease activity index, disease severity, modified Rodnan's Skin Score, functional disability measured by the SHAQ questionnaire and disease duration.
Results: Out of a total 17 patients, an early stage of capillaroscopy was found in 6 patients, active in 7, and late stage in 4 SSc patients. Statistically significant differences (P <0.05) were obtained by the capillaroscopy stage and Valentini's activity disease index, Medsger severity score and modified Rodnan's Skin Score. Patients in active stage of capillaroscopy had highest scores in activity, severity and skin affection measured by mRSS. Furthermore, there was a correlation between ACA positive patients and disease activity index.
Conclusion: The research carried out in this diploma thesis suggests that there is a correlation of capillaroscopy stage (degree of microvascular damage) with disease severity, activity and mRSS. Due to small number of patients involved in this study, additional studies are needed on a larger number of patients to fully confirm the conclusions of this study.
