  • Comprehensive assessment of adolescent health in Moscow

    Objective. To assess the health status of adolescents aged 15–17 years living in Moscow based on the results of comprehensive preventive examinations. Patients and methods. This retrospective analysis included findings of preventive medical examinations of 1,255 adolescents aged 15–17 living in Moscow between January 1, 2024, and December 31, 2024. Results. In most adolescents, indicators of height, body mass index and blood pressure were within the reference range. Among all patients, only 14.1% of adolescents were considered completely healthy, while 85.9% of adolescents had at least one disease or functional disorder. The leading pathologies were diseases of the eye and its adnexa, diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, endocrine diseases, and eating disorders, which requires the development of clinical and organizational measures to prevent these diseases in adolescents. According to the results of a comprehensive assessment, 76.6% of patients were classified as health groups I and II, and 69.6% of adolescents were classified as the general physical training group. Conclusion. The results of this study indicate the need to develop and improve the organization of medical care for adolescents. The issue of establishing closer cooperation between educational and medical institutions is becoming increasingly relevant, as is the need to change the model of medical organizations, which will be focused on solving a range of tasks that go beyond the existing pediatric model. In most adolescents, indicators of height, body mass index and blood pressure were within the reference range.

    Objective. To estimate the immunization coverage and vaccination rate of children (0-17 years of age inclusive) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) for each individual infection according to the regional vaccination calendar in Moscow. Patients and Methods. An observational analytic cohort study including 753 patients with JIA and 753 healthy control children living in Moscow was conducted. Results. Patients with juvenile arthritis have lower immunization coverage than children without autoimmune disease; they are also less immunized compared with controls, but even the immunization rates of healthy children do not meet vaccination targets. Conclusion. The data from this study should be taken into account in order to optimize vaccine prophylaxis not only for patients with JIA but also for healthy children, as both groups require adjustment of the immunization schedule, approaches to immunoprophylaxis positioning and optimization of vaccination methods.

  • Safety of vaccination in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

    Objective. To assess the safety of vaccination in children (0-17 years inclusive) with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in Moscow. Patients and methods. An observational analytical cross-sectional study including 400 patients with JIA was conducted. The minimum required sample size of the observational group was 328 patients. Results. Only 23.8% of patients (n = 95) continued to be vaccinated after the onset of JIA. The exacerbation of juvenile arthritis in patients after achieving remission was independent of continuation or discontinuation of vaccination (p = 0.139). Children with a complete vaccination schedule were less likely to have exacerbations than patients with an incomplete vaccination schedule (p = 0.044). Conclusion. Vaccination in children with JIA has been shown to be safe and does not lead to an increase in the number of exacerbations in the post-vaccination period. Further search for other factors that may influence the exacerbation of juvenile arthritis is required.

    Objective. Examination of schoolchildren in Moscow using a specially designed questionnaire to identify children at risk of developing celiac disease. Patients and methods. The study enrolled 3070 Moscow schoolchildren aged 7–18 years old. Serological and genetic examinations were performed in 42 children at risk for celiac disease, including determination of IgA and IgE to wheat, IgA and IgG to tissue transglutaminase, and IgA to endomysium. Molecular HLA testing for alleles that predispose to celiac disease was conducted. Endoscopic and morphological diagnostics were performed when indicated. Results. The risk group for celiac disease amounted to 10.2% of all schoolchildren surveyed. According to the results of the questionnaire, children in the risk group significantly more often had abdominal pain, excess gas, bloating, flatulence, dyspeptic complaints (diarrhea, constipation, vomiting), asthma attacks or other forms of allergies, headache, joint or body pain, fatigue and weakness, mood swings, depression, anxiety, or episodes of emotional arousal. Changes in height, weight, delayed physical or sexual development, dental enamel defects, and skin rashes were also noted. Of the 42 children in the risk group, the DQ2 heterodimer was detected in 13 (31%) children, the DQ8 heterodimer – in 2 (4.8%), and a combination of DQ2 and DQ8 heterodimers – in 1 (2.4%). Thus, characteristic HLA haplotypes were identified in 38% of the examined children. Three children had IgA antibodies to tissue transglutaminase (at >10 norm) and IgA anti-endomysium antibody titers. Conclusion. The method of questioning by means of a specially designed questionnaire for school-age children allows to identify individuals at risk of developing celiac disease. According to serological, genetic, endoscopic, and morphological investigations, the incidence of celiac disease among children at risk was 7.1%. The prevalence of celiac disease among school-age children in Moscow corresponds to global trends, amounting to 0.7%.
