Cardiorespiratory fitness assessed with cardiopulmonary exercise testing in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Pooled result · VO2peakResult — go to the resultWeighted mean difference −5.95 ml/kg/min 95% CI −9.26 to −2.65Authors' conclusion
VO2peak and other CPET variables were lower in patients with JIA compared with controls, indicating reduced CRF in the former.
