SPECIFIC AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The specific aims of this registry protocol are:

  • To create and maintain a secure online database of patients with JIA
  • To collect data elements related to cost of care in patients with JIA
  • Compare standard outcome and disease activity measures to health care expenditures in JIA
  • To determine methods by which to reduce costs while improving outcomes and quality of care

The study plans to enroll 300 or more subjects from 3 medical centers in the US over a 24 month period. Subjects in the study are patients with Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis.

Enrollment into the protocol will include key demographic and clinical data including, medication exposures, disease severity, and function including disease-specific data elements; and estimates of health care service utilization and health care expenditures. Data will be collected once per subject within the context of a standard of care visit.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Direct and indirect costs

    Patient's history will be reviewed for the prior 6 months to enrollment for expenses incurred related to JIA and it's treatment. This will be done through chart review and questionnaires completed by the patient/parent.
