Discordance between non-zero physician's global scores and absence of active joints in juvenile idiopathic arthritis: multicenter vs. single-center cohorts
The discordance between the absence of active joints and a PhGA score >0 was less common in the single-center sample, suggesting that regular use and training may increase concordance between PhGA and AJC in patients without clinical signs of joint disease. APR elevation and parent-/patient-reported morning stiffness seemed to play a major role in prompting physicians to assign a non-zero global score.
