To evaluate the effect of biologic therapy, school success, parental education and socioeconomic status on transition readiness of adolescent patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) and their parents.
This cross-sectional study enrolled adolescent patients with JIA from two pediatric clinics. Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score was calculated, and Transition Readiness Assessment Questionnaire (TRAQ) was administered to the patients and their parents. Demographic and clinical data were collected.
The study included 91 JIA patients (median age 15.32 years, range 11.58-18 years) and their parents; 36 had active disease. Biologic usage was significantly associated with transition readiness of children (P = 0.038) and their parents (P = 0.035). School success was associated with higher levels of transition readiness; TRAQ was significantly lower in observed groups with "good" school success compared to "very good" (P = 0.024; P = 0.002) and "excellent" (P = 0.010; P = 0.012). Parents' education or socioeconomic status has no influence on transition readiness.
Biologic usage and better school performance have a positive impact on the patients and their parents' transition readiness.
评估生物治疗、学业成就、父母教育程度和社会经济地位对青少年特发性关节炎（JIA）患者及其父母的过渡准备情况的影响。
这项横断面研究纳入了来自两家儿科诊所的青少年JIA患者。计算青少年关节炎疾病活动评分，并对患者及其父母进行过渡准备情况评估问卷（TRAQ）调查。收集人口统计学和临床数据。
该研究纳入了91名JIA患者（中位年龄15.32岁，范围11.58 - 18岁）及其父母；36人患有活动性疾病。生物制剂的使用与儿童（P = 0.038）及其父母（P = 0.035）的过渡准备情况显著相关。学业成就与更高水平的过渡准备情况相关；与“非常好”（P = 0.024；P = 0.002）和“优秀”（P = 0.010；P = 0.012）的观察组相比，“良好”学业成就的观察组TRAQ显著更低。父母的教育程度或社会经济地位对过渡准备情况没有影响。
生物制剂的使用和更好的学业表现对患者及其父母的过渡准备情况有积极影响。
