Assessment of Orofacial Symptoms in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Validation of a Consensus-Based Short Patient Questionnaire
Authors' conclusion
We have developed and validated a short patient questionnaire to assess the multidimensional aspects of JIA-related orofacial symptoms. The PROs included in our questionnaire show acceptable validity and reliability.
