[Juvenile idiopathic arthritis-persistent oligoarticular subtype : Consensus-based treatment recommendations as part of the ProKind Rheuma Initiative].

Protocols concerning classification, monitoring and treatment were developed for the oligoarticular form of juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) as part of a consensus process. The group of authors formulated 23 statements and circulated them in an online survey to medical members of the Society for Paediatric and Adolescent Rheumatology (GKJR). A total of 80 of the 124 paediatric and adolescent rheumatologists took part in the survey, which corresponds to just under 65% of the paediatric and adolescent rheumatologists who were active at the time. In a final online meeting, comments from the survey were incorporated into the statements and then agreed upon by the group of authors. For newly occurring oligoarticular JIA, 20 statements and a summary consensus treatment protocol were developed to optimise the treatment of persistent oligoarticular JIA.
