High Health Care Utilization Preceding Diagnosis With Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis
Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.Objective Although early diagnosis improves long‐term outcomes, patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) often experience prolonged, circuitous paths to diagnosis. To inform diagnostic improvement, we sought to characterize health care utilization in the year preceding diagnosis. Methods We identified 10,021 patients with an incident diagnosis
