摘要

Objective

To present updated evidence-based recommendations with a range of therapeutic options for children in Africa with oligoarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), adopting the treat to-target approach.

Methods

This study was conducted by the Paediatric Society of the African League Against Rheumatism (PAFLAR) to reach a consensus for recommendations regarding diagnosis and management of oligoarticular JIA suitable for application among different African countries. The Delphi technique was used to reach a consensus of 15 key questions identified by the steering committee. According to the PICO (patient/population, intervention, comparison, outcome) approach, a voting process among 22 African and international clinicians and experts in the field of pediatric rheumatology was performed after intensive systematic review of literature.

Results

A consensus was reached for 15 recommendations for diagnosis, monitoring, management of the disease, and its complications, intervention, and when to discontinue treatment of oligoarticular JIA patients with high level of agreement (ranging between 85 and 95%) who agreed or strongly agreed, and the response rate was 100%.

Conclusion

These recommendations focus on the early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management of oligoarticular JIA and its complications with high levels of consensus and agreement, improving practice consistency among healthcare providers.

Key Points

• A panel of experts created a consensus about the early diagnosis of oligoarticular JIA

• Consensus-based recommendations to the management of oligoarticular JIA

• These guidelines emphasized on the oligoarticular JIA-specific characteristics, severity factors, and treatment alternatives
