Systematic calibration reduces sources of variability for the preliminary OMERACT juvenile idiopathic arthritis MRI- sacroiliac joint score (OMERACT JAMRIS-SIJ)
Authors' conclusion
It is unlikely that contrast-enhanced MRI will improve the performance of this method.
Study context
- Population
- MRI SIJ scans of cases with juvenile spondyloarthritis7 raters
- Participants
- 50 scans
- Comparison
- Calibrated vs uncalibrated readers; fluid-sensitive vs contrast-enhanced sequences
- Outcome
- Scoring proficiency (reliability) of OMERACT JAMRIS-SIJ after systematic calibration
Methodological detailsmulti-reader calibration, Calibration with 3 different knowledge transfer tools

Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Reliability of JAMRIS-SIJ scoring after calibration
- Calibrated readers achieved greater reliability for scoring certain inflammatory and structural lesions
Further findings
- Sensitivity and reliability for scoring inflammatory lesions greater on fluid-sensitive than contrast-enhanced sequences
