Terms and definitions*
Term | Definition |
---|---|
Polyarthritis population | Children with JIA and non-systemic polyarthritis (≥5 joints ever involved); may include children from ILAR JIA categories of polyarticular (rheumatoid factor positive or negative), extended oligoarticular, enthesitis-related arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and undifferentiated arthritis. |
Risk factors | One or more of the following: positive rheumatoid factor, positive anti–cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies, joint damage. |
Moderate/high disease activity | Clinical Juvenile Disease Activity Score based on the cJADAS-10 >2.5. |
Low disease activity | Clinical JADAS-10 ≤2.5 and ≥1 active joint. |
Sacroiliitis population | Patients with active sacroiliitis who will most likely be classified within the ILAR categories of enthesitis- related arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and undifferentiated arthritis, but may include patients in any of the ILAR JIA categories. |
Active sacroiliitis | Prior or current magnetic resonance imaging findings consistent with sacroiliitis along with clinical examination findings consistent with sacroiliitis (e.g., pain with direct palpation of the sacroiliac joints) and/or patient-reported symptoms of inflammatory back pain. |
Enthesitis population | Patients with enthesitis (tendon-to-bone insertion sites) who will most likely be from the ILAR categories of enthesitis-related arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and undifferentiated arthritis, but may include patients from any of the ILAR JIA categories. |
Active enthesitis | Tenderness and/or swelling of the entheses determined to require medical treatment per the treatment provider. |
Disease activity (moderate/high and low) as defined by the clinical Juvenile Disease Activity Score based on 10 joints (cJADAS-10) is provided as a general parameter and should be interpreted within the clinical context. JIA = juvenile idiopathic arthritis. ILAR = International League of Associations for Rheumatology.
