For each JIA activity measure recorded at the time of the visit, the cutoff value that best identified states of MDA was calculated by means of the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. A definition of MDA for oligoarthritis and polyarthritis was set up after testing the relative power of each variable in a multivariate analysis.
