Validation of the Pediatric Arthritis Ultrasound Scoring System for the Elbow, Wrist, and Finger Joints in Children With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
There is moderate to high sensitivity and diagnostic accuracy of the PAUSS in detecting synovitis in elbow, wrist, and finger joints, as well as a strong correlation of the PAUSS severity scores with the ceMRI severity scores, providing strong support that the PAUSS enhances the clinical assessment of disease activity in children with JIA.
