Intra- and interreader reliability was assessed by intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Construct validity testing was done by (1) correlating the SPARCC MRI scores of sacroiliitis with clinical disease activity indicators (cross-sectional validity), and (2) correlating the change in the MRI score with the change in clinical indicators before and after treatment (longitudinal validity). Responsiveness of the MRI and clinical indicators was also evaluated, grouped by biologic and nonbiologic treatment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title><jats:p>When applied in children with JSpA\/ERA, the SPARCC showed almost perfect intra- and interreader reliability (ICC 0.79\u20131.00). There was poor cross-sectional and longitudinal correlation between clinical assessment indicators and MRI scoring. SPARCC scores showed higher responsiveness to treatment-related change than most clinical outcome measures. Three clinical outcome measures correlated longitudinally with SPARCC score in nonbiologic treatment: active joint count (r = 0.72, p &lt; 0.001), FABER (Flexion, Abduction, External Rotation) test (r = 0.58, p = 0.012), and physician\u2019s global assessment (r = 0.61, p = 0.034).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title><jats:p>The SPARCC MRI scoring system is a
