ABSTRACT
Children with rheumatologic disorders need periodic systematic evaluation of their disease status so that all aspects of the child’s life that are affected can be adequately assessed. The commonest rheumatologic disease that afflicts children is Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA). The child with JIA should have several domains assessed at regular intervals. These outcome measures include the physical, functional and the quality of life assessment measures. No single measure can capture the full impact of the disease on the child’s life. This article highlights the key outcome measures in a child with JIA and introduces the readers to several disease measurement tools that have been developed for assessment of outcome for the child with JIA.
