Pediatr Rheumatol Online JPublished Conference report

Authors' conclusion

The classification session at the NextGen 2022 conference helped to serve this purpose, establishing the need for a revised definitional system that transcends the fault lines that remain in existing definitions.

Study context

Population
Patients with sJIA and AOSD (Still's disease)

Main finding

As reported in the abstract

  • Existing terms too narrow: Still's population unnecessarily subdivided between pediatric-onset and adult-onset disease, excluding children in whom overt arthritis is delayed or absent
  • Classification session at NextGen 2022 established the need for a revised definitional system transcending fault lines of existing definitions
