The IHS classification criteria for migraine headaches in adolescents need minor modifications
1996
The operational and diagnostic criteria for migraine and all other headache disorders released in 1988 by the International Headache Society are universally considered reliable and exhaustive. These criteria, however, cannot be considered as satisfactory for population-based studies on migraine prevalence, especially if adolescents are the subjects of the study. Using these diagnostic criteria, we conducted an epidemiological study in order to assess the prevalence of migraine headache in a student population aged 11 to 14 years. Our survey made it possible to code IHS 1.1 (migraine without aura) in 2.35%, IHS 1.2 (migraine with aura) in 0.62%, IHS 1.7 (migrainous disorders not fulfilling m…
La filosofía y sus lógicas
2003
It is common use at the end of the century to make retrospectives in all domains: politics, sciences, military, arts... This has also been made in philosophy, and it tries to explain the world from fightings between one another, lists of great men names, the death of the field itself, rhapsodies of schools and philosophers, conceptual exhibitions of external problems (biographic, politic or colonial ones) and so on. In this paper, it is intended to give a criterium internal to the philosophy itself, in order to classify the philosophical thought all along the 20th century. This criterium has to be built as a philosophical idea in which are situated the methods, the ontologies and the ethics…
EULAR/PRINTO/PRES criteria for Henoch-Schonlein purpura, childhood polyarteritis nodosa, childhood Wegener granulomatosis and childhood Takayasu arte…
2010
EULAR/PRINTO/PRES Objectives To validate the previously proposed classification criteria for Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP), childhood polyarteritis nodosa (c-PAN), c-Wegener granulomatosis (c-WG) and c-Takayasu arteritis (c-TA).Methods Step 1: retrospective/prospective webdata collection for children with HSP, c-PAN, c-WG and c-TA with age at diagnosis <= 18 years. Step 2: blinded classification by consensus panel of a representative sample of 280 cases. Step 3: statistical (sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve and.-agreement) and nominal group technique consensus evaluations.Results 827 patients with HSP, 150 with c-PAN, 60 with c-WG, 87 with c-TA and 52 with c-other were compar…
The impact of the Eurofever criteria and the new Infevers MEFV classification in real life: results from a large international FMF cohort
2022
INTRODUCTION: New Eurofever/PRINTO classification criteria (EPCC) for Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) and other recurrent fevers have been recently developed, together with the classification of the pathogenicity of MEFV variants. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the impact in real life of both the EPCC and INSAID pathogenicity classification of MEFV variants in the large international Eurofever FMF cohort. METHODS: Baseline demographic, genetic and clinical data of FMF patients included in the Eurofever registry were evaluated. The EPCC and the 2018 INSAID classification for MEFV variants were applied in all eligible FMF patients. RESULTS: Since November 2009, clinical information was available …
Perspective validation of the eurofever classification criteria for monogenic periodic fevers.
2014
We recently proposed a set of provisional, evidence-based, clinical criteria for the classification of children and adults patients affected by monogenic periodic fevers. These criteria, built and validated in a cohort of 1215 patients with periodic fever enrolled in the Eurofever Registry from November 2009 to February 2013, displayed a high sensitivity and specificity.
The new criteria for classification of rheumatoid arthritis: what we need to know for clinical practice.
2011
The new criteria for classification of Rheumatoid Arthritis have been recently released. They incorporate the anti-Citrullinated Protein antibody testing and the other classic criteria in a score system (the diagnosis of definite rheumatoid arthritis is made by a total score ≥6). These criteria try to meet the pressing needs to gain sensitivity in early disease. Symptoms, elevated acute-phase response, serologic abnormality, joint involvement were all considered for scoring after confirming the presence of synovitis in at least 1 joint in the absence of an alternative diagnosis that better explains the synovitis. However, no sensitivity and specificity has been showed. Moreover, Area Under …
