چکیده
Method 87 pts. (f 69%, m 31%) average age 14,1 yrs. disease duration 5,2 yrs., were follow up for 3,7 (2-5) yrs. Parents/ patients over 12 yrs. completed CHAQ at the beginning and at the end of study and disability index (DI) was calculated. CHAQ DI=0 was considered as normal, 0,1250,5=mild, ≥0,6=moderate/severe disability. Fifty nine (67,8%)pts. were treated with methotrexate, 42 (52,8%)pts. with etanercept. Outcome was defined as active disease or remission (Wallace criteria) [1]. We used regression models for the assessment predictive strength of CHAQ.
