Abstract:
PURPOSE OF REVIEW:Childhood arthritis is in need of a new system of classification, owing to deficiencies in the International League of Associations for Rheumatology (ILAR) criteria. We briefly review the history of classification of childhood arthritis, discuss the major criticisms of the current system, and highlight current initiatives to address those concerns. RECENT FINDINGS:Recent studies in both pediatric and adult rheumatology into the biologic basis of disease as well as the clinical patterns of presentation have informed the efforts toward developing a new classification system. Several efforts are currently underway to improve the classification of childhood arthritis, most notably the project of the Pediatric Rheumatology International Trials Organization (PRINTO). This international alliance of pediatric rheumatologists has begun a 4-step process to create new classification criteria for childhood arthritis. They are currently on step 3 of the process.
