The aim of this analysis was to investigate in parallel, for the first time, three of the largest JIA registries in Europe/internationally-UK JIA Biologic Registers (BCRD/BSPAR-ETN), German biologic registers (BiKeR/JuMBO), multinational Pharmachild-to quantify the occurrence of selected comorbidities in patients with JIA.

Methods

Information on which data the registers collect were compared. Patient characteristics and levels of comorbidity were presented, focussing on four key conditions: uveitis, MAS, varicella, and history of tuberculosis. Incidence
