Assessing Disease Activity in Pediatric Chronic Nonbacterial Osteomyelitis: A Proposal for Composite Scoring, Including Inactivity Measures by Christiane Reiser, Jens Klotsche, Anja Schnabel, Christine Hofmann, Nadine Groesch, Martina Niewerth, Kirsten Minden, Hermann Girschick

“…In single numeric scores only, clinical and MRI lesion scores reached significant changes (from baseline to 3 YFU: P = 0.003/P = 0.004). Composite scores, which include MRI DA scores consisting of one clinical patient‐based assessment parameter (PAG/PAP of DA), the PGDA and MRI lesion count are less dependent on subjective measures and demonstrate more pronounced changes over time of supposed CNO DA compared with the CNO CDAS. …”
