Abstract

Acute rheumatic fever (ARF) is a complex disease with several clinical manifestations. Its most significant long-term complication is valvular heart damage, commonly referred to as chronic rheumatic heart disease. The risk of ARF varies globally, with over 80% of cases occurring in low- and middle-income countries, highlighting the role of socioeconomic factors. A comprehensive understanding of the risk factors associated with ARF and its clinical, genetic, and sociodemographic mediators can help clinicians identify high-risk individuals, develop effective management strategies, enhance target screening and active case-finding initiatives, and ultimately improve patient outcomes. This review aimed to provide an overview of ARF and its global burden, focusing on the established and potential risk factors associated with its development.

急性风湿病的风险因素：探索个人和集体层面的因素。

急性风湿热是一种复杂的疾病，有多种临床表现。其最重要的长期并发症是瓣膜性心脏损害，通常称为慢性风湿性心脏病。在全球范围内，ARF 的发病风险各不相同，80% 以上的病例发生在中低收入国家，这凸显了社会经济因素的作用。全面了解与 ARF 相关的风险因素及其临床、遗传和社会人口学介导因素有助于临床医生识别高危人群、制定有效的管理策略、加强目标筛查和积极的病例查找措施，并最终改善患者的预后。本综述旨在概述 ARF 及其全球负担，重点关注与 ARF 发展相关的既定和潜在风险因素。
