Table 1.

The juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients were divided into four groups based on disease activity and methotrexate (MTX) use. Data are presented as means ± SEM. Significance is described as * p < 0.05 for comparison of high disease activity versus clinically inactive and ^# p < 0.05 for comparison of high disease activity without MTX versus high disease activity with MTX.

DISEASE ACTIVITY	High Disease Activity (HDA)	High Disease Activity (HDA)	Clinically Inactive (IA)	Clinically Inactive (IA)
MTX	No	Yes	No	Yes
cJADAS	18.7 ± 2.5 *	14.3 ± 0.4 *	0	0
CRP	90.2 ± 38.8 *#	31.8 ± 10.6 *	0.3 ± 0.1	0.1 ± 0.1
VAS	4.98 ± 1.26 *	6,82 ± 0.9 *	0.0 ± 0.0	0.08 ± 0.04
