“…12 Active joint involvement, ESR-CRP levels, active systemic involvement features, existence of active uveitis and morning stiffness were noted. 8,11 Statistical analyses were performed between CHAQ domains and over-all active disease periods and remission periods, and between CHAQ domains and active joint involvement.…”

“…As a result, many instruments have been developed to assess the health-related quality of life including functional questionnaires which are commonly used to evaluate children with chronic diseases. 3,7,8 The Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ) is one of the most functional and widely used health status instruments in children with JIA. 2 It is a selfreport questionnaire and is said to measure both disability and discomfort in children with chronic arthritis.…”

“…The regular measurement of disease activity level is essential to monitor the disease course over time in children with JIA and allows the assessment of the efficacy of therapeutic interventions [ 12 , 13 ]. However, it is widely agreed that no single measure can reliably capture overall disease activity in all JIA phenotypes.…”

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), as a chronic condition, is associated with significant disease- and treatment-related morbidity, thus impacting children’s quality of life. In order to optimize JIA management, the paediatric rheumatologist has begun to regularly use measurements of disease activity developed, validated and endorsed by international paediatric rheumatology professional societies in an effort to monitor the disease course over time and assess the efficacy of therapeutic interventions in JIA patients.A literature review was performed to describe the main outcome measures currently used in JIA patients to determine disease activity status.The Juvenile Disease Activity Score (JADAS), in its different versions (classic JADAS, JADAS-CRP and cJADAS) and the validated definitions of disease activity and response to treatment represent an important tool for the assessment of clinically relevant changes in disease activity, leading more and more to a treat-to-target strategy, based on a tight and thorough control of the patient condition. Moreover, in recent years, increasing attention on the incorporation of patient-reported or parent-reported outcomes (PRCOs), when measuring the health state of patients with paediatric rheumatic diseases has emerged.We think that the care of JIA patients cannot be possible without taking into account clinical outcome measures and, in this regard, further work is required.
