Depression And Anxiety In Patients With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis: Current Insights And Impact On Quality Of Life, A Systematic Review.

35 , 41 , 47 Kayan Ocakoglu et al found that JIA patients scored worse on the SCARED and were more likely to have diagnoses of anxiety disorders compared to healthy controls, but the difference did not reach statistical significance, likely due to a small sample size. 23 Tarakci et al, another exception, had a cohort of JIA patients that excluded those with comorbid psychiatric disease. 31 Bomba et al looked at specific subscales for different types of anxiety (generalized, social, separation, and school anxiety) and found that with each, youth with JIA scored worse than controls. 35 Butler et al was the only longitudinal study reviewed that examined anxiety and theirs was a pilot study of children with multiple chronic diseases, including a very small number of JIA patients.
