This research aims to validate the EULAR/ACR classification criteria for pediatric chronic nonbacterial osteomyelitis (CNO).
Conducted a multicenter cohort study
Evaluated the effectiveness of EULAR/ACR criteria
Analyzed patient classification and diagnostic outcomes
Validation may lead to earlier classification of pediatric CNO
Could reduce unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures
Improved accuracy in diagnosis was observed
Abstract
Validation of the EULAR/ACR classification criteria may facilitate earlier and more accurate classification of pediatric CNO and reduce unnecessary invasive diagnostic procedures.
