Abstract: | Objectives: This is a cohort study of 134 children and adolescents with a known diagnosis of autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). During follow-up, some of them developed autoimmune sclerosing cholangitis (ASC). This study describes the characteristics of the patients upon diagnosis, and their response to treatment and any complications, and compares the patients who developed ASC during follow-up (ASC group) with those who did not (AIH group). Methods: A total of 73.1% of the patients were girls with a median age upon diagnosis of 10.41 (7.41–12.53) years. Results: Of 134 patients, 28 (20.9%) developed cholestatic manifestations, with features of ASC. A few differences were observed between the AIH and ASC groups when they were analyzed by x2 test, such as the smaller predominance of girls in ASC group (P ¼ 0.04), and more common asymptomatic presentation in the ASC group (P ¼ 0.01). Cirrhosis was observed in 68% of biopsies, with no significant difference between groups (P ¼ 0.43). Of 16 deaths, 15 were in the AIH group and 1 in the ASC group (P ¼ 0.22). Of 11 transplants, 10 were in the AIH group and one in the ASC group (P ¼ 0.53). The presence of cirrhosis at baseline was associated with a smaller survival probability (P ¼ 0.015). The survival rate by Kaplan-Meier method was 94% at 5 years and 80% at 10 years, and was similar in both the groups (P ¼ 0.08). Conclusions: No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups in relation to prognosis and response to treatment. |
