Objective: To determine the ability of the revised version of the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire (CHAQ), the VAS, to detect clinical change over time in pediatric patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). We studied the relative responsiveness of the VAS as compared to the original CHAQ-30 and revised CHAQ-38, as well as the parent-patient, physician-patient, and physician-parent concordance.
Methods: The CHAQ-38 and VAS were administered to 30 parents and patients (if older than 8 years) with any subtype of JIA before and after the start of a new treatment.
