Abstract:
JIA is the most common chronic inflammatory arthritis in children and young people and an estimated one-third of individuals will have persistent active disease into adulthood. There are a number of key differences in the clinical manifestations, assessment and management of JIA compared with adult-onset arthritis. Transition and transfer to adult services present significant challenges for many patients, their families and health care professionals. We describe key clinical issues relevant to adult rheumatology health care teams responsible for ongoing care of these young people.
