Disease activity, patient well\u2010being, and pain were measured. Disability was assessed by the Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire, health\u2010related quality of life by the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) Generic Core Scale, and the PedsQL Rheumatology Module. Health care resource utilization was estimated based on the number of billing events for health services coded in administrative databases; these databases also provided information on patient health insurance status. Children insured by Medicaid or similar state programs for low\u2010income families were considered to have Medicaid status.
