Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation in the joints, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and eventual joint damage. This condition occurs when the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the synovium, the lining of the membranes surrounding the joints. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and preventing joint damage through a combination of medications, physical therapy, and lifestyle modifications.

Objective: The objective of this study is to describe recent trends in disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (DMARD) use for children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) in the United States.
Methods: We used commercial claims data (2000-2022) to perform a serial cross-sectional utilization study of children aged 1 to 18 that were diagnosed with JIA. Initiations of conventional synthetic DMARDs (csDMARDs), biologic DMARDs (bDMARDs), or targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs) were identified after a ≥12-month baseline and expressed as a percentage of all new DMARD initiations per year, by category, class, and individual agent.
