An observational study in Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and Lung Diseases, sponsored by Assiut University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged Up to 16 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-20.
Sponsored by Assiut University · Observational
This cross-sectional study aims to describe the clinical characteristics of pulmonary involvement in children with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis.
Systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis is an autoinflammatory disease that can be associated with severe lung disease. Systemic JIA-associated lung disease may present with chronic cough, dyspnea, and characteristic radiographic findings.
This observational study will evaluate clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features of lung involvement in children aged 16 years or younger diagnosed with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis according to ILAR criteria at Assiut University Children's Hospital.
359 studies on the registry are indexed under Arthritis, Juvenile; 95 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 30 is below the median of 120 across 115 observational studies indexed under Arthritis, Juvenile.
