Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis [1]
·The therapy section needs more up to date information.
·The therapy section also needs a citation for why PT/OT and speech are the perfect combination for treatment.
·The prognosis section needs some updating because it was last updated in 2015 and there is now new available information.
·There could be some more information on some of the new drugs that have been developed recently.
·Why are omega-3 fatty acids proven to be beneficial?
I specifically would like to add more information to the prognosis section of JIA. Much of the information that is included in that section is older information, and with the medical world constantly changing, I think there is more to be said about prognosis.
Prognosis
editAs of 1999: With early and aggressive therapy, some children do improve with time and lead normal lives [45]. However, severe cases of JIA which are not treated promptly can lead to poor growth and worsening of joint function. Since about 1980, significant improvements have been made in treatment of JIA and most children can lead a decent quality of life. The prognosis of JIA depends on prompt recognition and treatment. There are many treatments available that when taken in conjunction, can allow the child to grow and develop normally. [5] Many children with JIA have gone on to play professional sports and have a variety of successful careers.[46] In order to improve the prognosis of JIA, patients should schedule routine echocardiographic screening to assess heart function.[47]. Children with JIA are more susceptible to cardiovascular disease, depression, sleep disturbance, anxiety and fatigue than healthy individuals. JIA causes children to have poor sleep hygiene, patterns and quality [6]. Poor sleep habits for children with JIA also affects the parents negatively. There is also limited information that suggests that children with JIA are at increased risk for malignancies when being treated with TNF blockers [48].
