7 Clinical Outcome Measures in Pediatric Rheumatic Diseases Flashcards
Core set of outcome measures of the ACR Pediatric 30 (6)
1) Physician global assessment of overall disease activity
2) Parent/patient global assessment of overall well-being
3) Physical functional ability, measured with an instrument validated in the pediatric population
4) Count of joints with active arthritis
5) Count of joints with restricted motion
6) Acute phase reactant
Gold standard for the assessment of response to therapy in JIA
ACR Pediatric 30
Using ACR Pediatric 30, patients are classified as responders in a clinical trial if
They demonstrate an improvement of at least 30% from baseline in at least 3/6 core set variables, with no more than 1 of the remaining variables worsening by more than 30%
ACR Pediatric 30 was adapted for use in clinical trials in sJIA by adding
Absence of spiking fever ≥38C during the week preceding the evaluation
Limitation of the JIA core set
Lack of input from patients or caregivers in its development
Independent initiative of international health professionals to update the core set and address the limitation of the ACR Pediatric 30
OMERACT
3-layered onion of the OMERACT
1) Inner layer: Domains mandatory for all clinical trials and observational studies
2) Middle layer: Optional domains
3) Outer layer: Domains for research purposes
Composite disease activity score currently used in JIA developed in 2009 and is an alternative approach to the ACR Pediatric 30
JADAS
Components of the JADAS
1) Physician’s global assessment of disease activity
2) Parent/patient global assessment of well-being
3) Count of joints with active disease
4) ESR or CRP
How is the physician’s global assessment of disease activity measured?
Measured on a 10-cm VAS where 0=no activity and 10=maximum activity
How is the parent/patient global assessment of well-being measured?
Measured on a 10-cm VAS where 0=very well and 10=very poor
Count of joint with active disease is assessed using
JADAS71 (71 joints)
JADAS27 (27 joints)
JADAS10 (10 joints)
ESR or CRP in JADAS is normalized using
0-10 scale
3-variable JADAS that does not include acute-phase reactant
cJADAS
Cutoff score for inactive disease using the JADAS and cJADAS for both poly- and oligoarticular JIA
≤1
Cutoff score for minimal/low disease activity for oligoarticular JIA using JADAS
≤2
Cutoff score for minimal/low disease activity for polyarticular JIA using JADAS
≤3.8
Cutoff score for minimal/low disease activity for oligoarticular JIA using cJADAS
≤1.5
Cutoff score for minimal/low disease activity for polyarticular JIA using cJADAS
≤2.5
The JADAS and cJADAS and respective cutoffs were validated only in children what categories of JIA
Poly- and oligoarticular
sJADAS specific to systemic JIA is composed of
4 items part of the original JADAS plus a 5th item, the systemic manifestation score, aimed to quantify the burden of systemic symptoms on a 0-10 scale
Components of the systemic manifestation score of sJADAS
1) Fever
2) Evanescent erythematous rash
3) Generalized LAD
4) Hepatomegaly and/or splenomegaly
5) Serositis
6) Anemia (hgb <9g/dL)
7) PC >600 or ferritin >500ng/mL
(1 point each except for fever, depends on temp)
Points for respective temps used in sJADAS
37-38C 1
38-39C 2
39-40C 3
>40 4
Damage in JIA is defined as
Persistent changes in anatomy, physiology, pathology, or function, which may be the consequence of previous active disease, side effects of therapy, or comorbid conditions, that is NOT due to currently active arthritis and is present for at least 6 months
2 components of JADI
JADI-A: Articular
JADI-E: Extraarticular
Score for joint damage used in JADI
0=no damage, 1=partial damage, 2=severe damage, ankylosis, prosthesis
Maximum total score for JADI
72
Components of the JADI-E (5)
1) Ocular
2) MSK non-articular
3) Cutaneous
4) Endocrine
5) Secondary amyloidosis
