Summary:

       Objective .The objective of the presented work was to analyze data from the nationwide register of inflamatory rheumatic diseases which comprises also a group with juventile idiopathic arthritis. Method .The authors evaluated data froma total of 407 patients with JIA.The whole group of patients was divided into subgroups according to the last classification (Durban,1997).In the whole group and in individual subgroups they evaluated clinical data (type of articular affection,systemic symptoms,opthalmological and skin manifestations,functional affections),some laboratory para- meters and X-ray changes.Contemporary treatment was elaborated in greater detail,i.e.corticos- teroid therapy as well as treatment with drugs modifying the disease.Results .The results confirmed the great heterogeneity of the disease.Serious functional affections at the time of registration were observed in 44 patients (10.8 %,functional class c+d ).After classification of patients into subgroups the most severe functional affection was observed in systemic arthritis,where functional class c was recorded in 12 (30.0 %)patients.Advanced X-ray changes were present in 109 (26.8 %)patients,most frequently in seropositive polyarthritis (23;63.9 %).Uveitis was diagnosed in 41 (10.1 %)patients,in 28 (6.9 %)chronic uveitis and in 13 (3.2 %)acute uveitis.Complications,such as synechiae,zonular keratopathies and cataract or glaucoma were present in 18 (4.4 %)of the patients with JIA. Contemporary treatment with oral corticosteroids was recorded in 186 (45.7 %)patients with JIA, in particular in systemic arthritis (35;87.5 %)and seropositive polyarthritis (19;52.8 %).As to disease modifying druha,methotrexate was administered most frequently on half of the patients with JIA (200;50.6 %),and sulfasalazine (128;31.5 %).As to orthopaedic operations total endoprostheses were implanted in 22 (5.4 %)and synovectomies in 57 (14.1 %)JIA.Conclusion .The first analysis of data from the nationwide register indicates that JIA is a serious disease and that in a great proportion of patients it leads to functional affection and advanced X-ray changes.
