Methotrexate (MTX) is the most commonly used disease modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), especially in polyarticular arthritis. At present no reliable prediction of individual response to MTX can be made. Identification of factors that influence the response to MTX could be helpful in realizing the optimal treatment for each individual patient.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
