lüll EULAR/PReS endorsed consensus criteria for the classification of childhood vasculitides Ozen S; Ruperto N; Dillon MJ; Bagga A; Barron K; Davin JC; Kawasaki T; Lindsley C; Petty RE; Prieur AM; Ravelli A; Woo PAnn Rheum Dis 2006[Jul]; 65 (7): 936-41BACKGROUND: There has been a lack of appropriate classification criteria for vasculitis in children. OBJECTIVE: To develop a widely accepted general classification for the vasculitides observed in children and specific and realistic classification criteria for common childhood vasculitides (Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), Kawasaki disease (KD), childhood polyarteritis nodosa (PAN), Wegener's granulomatosis (WG), and Takayasu arteritis (TA)). METHODS: The project was divided into two phases: (1) the Delphi technique was used to gather opinions from a wide spectrum of paediatric rheumatologists and nephrologists; (2) a consensus conference using nominal group technique was held. Ten international experts, all paediatricians, met for the consensus conference. Agreement of at least 80% of the participants was defined as consensus. RESULTS: Consensus was reached to base the general working classification for childhood vasculitides on vessel size. The small vessel disease was further subcategorised into "granulomatous" and "non-granulomatous." Final criteria were developed to classify a child as HSP, KD, childhood PAN, WG, or TA, with changes introduced based on paediatric experience. Mandatory criteria were suggested for all diseases except WG. CONCLUSIONS: It is hoped that the suggested criteria will be widely accepted around the world because of the reliable techniques used and the international and multispecialist composition of the expert group involved.|Child[MESH]|Churg-Strauss Syndrome/classification[MESH]|Delphi Technique[MESH]|Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis/classification[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|IgA Vasculitis/classification[MESH]|International Cooperation[MESH]|Mucocutaneous Lymph Node Syndrome/classification[MESH]|Polyarteritis Nodosa/classification[MESH]|Takayasu Arteritis/classification[MESH]|Vasculitis/*classification[MESH] |
