Data was collected on 2,571 patients from the Childhood Arthritis and Rheumatology Research Alliance Registry. The researchers found that polyarticular rheumatoid factor-negative was the most commonly reported disorder, followed by oligoarticular-persistent and enthesitis-related arthritis.

The patients also reported higher active joint count and NSAID use associated with worse scores, according to the report.
