Scatter plot with linear regression line of juvenile arthritis disease activity score 10 (JADAS-10, x-axis) and disease activity score 28 (DAS28, y-axis). Despite good correlation between these disease activity measures, there is a discrepancy in the threshold for high-disease activity between JADAS-10 (JADAS-10 >10.5, vertical dotted line) and DAS28 (DAS28 >5.1, horizontal dotted line). Also, 13 out of 49 patients were classified as high-disease activity by JADAS-10 (data points to the right of the vertical dotted line), and of these, only 1 was defined as also being high-disease activity by DAS28 (data point above the horizontal dotted line). No patients were classified as high activity for DAS28 but not high according to JADAS-10.
