Assessment of Composite Inflammatory Ratios in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Their Association With Disease Activity

Assessment of Composite Inflammatory Ratios in Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Their Association With Disease Activity

Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is a prevalent pediatric rheumatic disorder characterized by persistent inflammation of one or more joints in children and adolescents. This chronic condition is a major contributor to both short- and long-term morbidity and functional disability We aim in this study to investigate the role of CAR, PLR, NLR ,systemic inflammatory index (SII ) and NAR ( SII and NAR have never been evaluated before in JIA patients ) as potential markers of disease activity in patients with non-systemic JIA (nsJIA) .

Inclusion Criteria:

-

1. Patients who classified JIA according to International League of Associations for Rheumatology ILAR criteria on treatment with exclusion of systemic JIA.

2. Patients with disease duration more than 6 months. 3. Age below 16 years old. 4. Patient cooperative and can answer questions. 5. Patients who are able and willing to give written informed consent or their parents/guardians

Exclusion Criteria:

• 1. Systemic JIA. 2. Patients with other autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases, immunodeficiencies, hematologic conditions, malignances and infectious disease at enrollment time or in the previous 2 weeks.

Patients who are not able and willing to give written informed consent
