What is the mortality rate of Still's disease

[IdeaGenius]

"Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some help understanding the mortality rate of Still's disease. Has anyone here had experience with this disease or know someone who does? I've read some information online but I'm still not sure what the mortality rate is. Does anyone have any insight into this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Still's disease, also known as systemic-onset juvenile idiopathic arthritis, is an inflammatory disorder. It is a rare condition, affecting 1 in every 100,000 children. Although it can cause severe complications, the mortality rate is low.

Mortality Rate of Still's Disease

The mortality rate of Still's disease is estimated to be between 0.3 and 4 percent. This means that between three and four out of every 100 children who have Still's disease will die from the condition. The mortality rate is higher in adults than in children, but still remains low.

Complications of Still's Disease

Still's disease can cause a variety of complications, including joint damage, inflammation of the heart and lungs, and inflammation of the blood vessels. It can also lead to fever, rash, and weight loss. These complications can cause long-term health problems and can even be life-threatening.

Treatment for Still's Disease

Treatment for Still's disease typically involves medications to reduce inflammation and pain, physical therapy to maintain joint range of motion, and lifestyle modifications such as getting enough rest and avoiding activities that could worsen symptoms. In some cases, surgery may be necessary to repair joint damage.

The prognosis of Still's disease is usually good with proper treatment. With effective management, most people with Still's disease can lead an active and healthy life.

Unfortunately, there is no definitive answer to this question as Still's disease is a rare disorder and there is limited data available on mortality rates. However, some studies suggest that the mortality rate of Still's disease is low, with estimates ranging from 0.5-4%. The majority of people with Still's disease have a good prognosis and can expect to live a full life. In some cases, however, the disease can lead to complications which may increase the risk of mortality. It is important to talk to your doctor about your individual risk.

The mortality rate of Still's disease varies depending on the individual's age, gender, and health status. Generally, the mortality rate is low, and estimates range from 0.2%-0.8%. In severe cases, mortality is higher, and can reach up to 10%. This is due to complications such as cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, and renal failure. Treatment with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants can help reduce mortality rates by reducing inflammation and suppressing the immune response. It is important to consult with a medical professional to determine the best course of treatment for each individual.

The mortality rate of Still's disease is difficult to estimate, as it is a rare condition and limited data is available. According to a study published in 2016, the overall mortality rate of patients with Still's disease was 4.3%, with a range of 0-12%. The mortality rate was higher in adults, with an average of 5.3%. The mortality rate was estimated to be 0-7.3% in children.

The mortality rate for Still's disease is likely higher than reported, as it is often misdiagnosed or underdiagnosed. In some cases, the cause of death may not be attributed to Still's disease, as it can cause multiple organ failure or complications which can lead to death.

The mortality rate of Still's disease is higher than the general population, but is not as high as other inflammatory rheumatic diseases. Early diagnosis and treatment is important to reduce the risk of complications and mortality associated with Still's disease.

The mortality rate of Still's disease is difficult to accurately assess due to the rarity of the condition, as well as the fact that it is often misdiagnosed. However, recent studies indicate that the mortality rate of Still's disease may be as high as 10-20%, although this figure could vary depending on the severity of the condition. Additionally, mortality rates can be influenced by age, gender, and other factors. Therefore, it is important for patients to receive prompt and accurate diagnosis and treatment to ensure that their mortality rate is as low as possible.

The mortality rate of Still's disease varies greatly, but is estimated to be between 20-30%. Those with the most severe form of the disease, systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), typically have the highest mortality rate. Factors such as age, gender, and race can also affect mortality rates.
