Responsiveness of different sets of criteria for clinical response evaluation in a non-selected cohort of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients
Pediatric Rheumatology volume 6, Article number: P113 (2008)
Objective
To evaluate the responsiveness of 4 sets of criteria for clinical response evaluation and the ACR-Ped-30 variables in a non-selected cohort of patients with JIA.
Methods
An observational study of a non-selected cohort of 50 JIA patients in the out-patient clinic was conducted. Four sets of criteria: DAS, DAS28, CDAI and SDAI and the variables of the ACR Ped-30 were evaluated at 26 and 54 weeks. Responsiveness was assessed with the effect size (ES), the standardized mean response (SMR) and the responsiveness-retrospective coefficients (RRC).
Results
See table 1.
Conclusion
The 4 sets of criteria for evaluation appear to be responsive outcome measures in a non-selected cohort of patients with JIA evaluated in the daily clinic.
