Hainan Women and Children's Medical Center Researchers Describe Recent Advances in Purpura (The relationship between the severity and complications of Henoch-Schonlein purpura in children and dietary inflammatory index: a retrospective cohort...).

A recent study conducted by researchers at the Hainan Women and Children's Medical Center in China explored the relationship between the severity and complications of Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) in children and the Dietary Inflammatory Index (DII). The study found that children with a pro-inflammatory diet had higher levels of inflammatory markers and experienced more complications compared to those with an anti-inflammatory diet. The researchers concluded that understanding the impact of dietary patterns on inflammatory responses in pediatric vasculitis could have implications for managing HSP and improving outcomes for affected children. The study was published in the journal PeerJ. [Extracted from the article]
