Excerpt

Joint cartilage degradation is one of the early outcomes in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). One of the primary goals of rheumatic treatment is to prevent joint destruction. We therefore need sensitive methods to evaluate cartilage thickness. Ultrasonography (US) has shown to be a reliable tool in the assessment of joint cartilage in rheumatic disease. We have previously been able to establish age- and sex-related normal reference intervals for joint cartilage thickness throughout childhood(1). The purpose of this study was to investigate: - whether US is a sensible method in the evaluation of joint cartilage in JIA patients; - US feasibility as a monitoring and prognostic tool. …
