Amaç: Sistemik juvenil idiyopatik artrit (sJİA), JİA’nın yedi alt tipinden biridir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, kliniğimizdeki sJİA hastalarının özelliklerini, seyrini ve sonuçlarını araştırmak ve son on yılda sJİA’da nelerin değiştiğini belirlemektir.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Mart 2002 ile Nisan 2019 arasında takip edilen sJİA hastalarının dosyaları geriye dönük olarak değerlendirildi ve verileri kaydedildi.
Bulgular: Çalışma süresince kliniğimizde 36 hastaya sJİA tanısı konuldu (19 erkek). Hastalığın başlangıcında hastaların ortalama yaşı 81.7±50.1 aydı. Başvuru esnasında en sık saptanan bulgular ateş (%100), artrit (%83.3), döküntü (% 66.7) ve hepatosplenomegali (%38.9)’du. Yedi hasta (%19.4) sJİA’ya bağlı gelişen makrofaj aktivasyon sendromu (MAS) tanısı aldı. Tüm hastalara kortikosteroid tedavisi verildi. 29 hastaya ek tedaviler (hastalığı modifiye edici ilaçlar, intravenöz immünoglobulin ve biyolojik ajanlar) verildi. Kliniğimizde 2011 yılından itibaren anti interlökin (İL) -1 ajanlar kullanılmaktadır. Bu grupta 26 (%72.2) hasta 2011 yılından sonra tanı almıştır. 2011 yılından sonra tanı alan ve biyolojik ajan tedavisi kullanılan hastalarda (n: 26) 2011 yılından önce tanı alan hastalara (n:10) göre steroid maruziyet süresi anlamlı olarak kısalmıştır (p = 0.001 ).
Sonuç: Biyolojik ajanların sJİA tedavisinde kullanılmaya başlamasından sonra steroid maruziyet süresi önemli ölçüde azalmıştır. Anti İL-1 ve anti İL-6 tedavilerinin sJİA hastalarında öncelikli tedaviler arasında düşünülmesi hem hızlı hastalık kontrolünü sağlamak hem de ilaçlara bağlı ortaya çıkabilecek yan etkileri azaltmak açısından önemlidir.

Objective: Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA) is one of seven subtypes of JIA. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics, the course and the outcome of sJIA patients in our clinic and to identify what has changed over the last decade in sJIA.
Material and Methods: Files of sJIA patients that were followed between March 2002 and April 2019 were evaluated.
Results: During the study period 36 patients were diagnosed with sJIA in our clinic (19 were male). Mean age of patients was 81.7±50.1 months at the onset of disease. Most common presenting features were fever (100%), arthritis (83.3%), rash (66.7%) and hepatosplenomegaly (38.9%). Seven patients (19.4%) were diagnosed as macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) due to sJIA. All patients had received corticosteroids. Additional treatments (disease-modifying drugs, intravenous immunoglobulin and biological agents) were given to 29 patients. In our clinic, anti-IL-1 agents have been used since 2011. In this group 26 (72.2%) patients were diagnosed after 2011. After the usage of biological agents, the duration of steroid exposure significantly decreased (p= 0.001).
Conclusion: After the introduction of biological agents in the treatment of sJIA, the duration of steroid exposure decreased significantly. Considering anti interleukin (IL)-1 and anti IL-6 treatments among the priority treatments in sJIA patients is important in terms of both providing rapid disease control and reducing side effects related to drugs.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
