title: [Functional, social and professional outcome of patients with juvenile chronic arthritis seen again 12 years after a 1st evaluation].
abstract: The authors assessed the outcome of children with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis following an average of 18 years since the onset of the illness. Two-thirds of the patients with the systemic form were asymptomatic. Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis which began with pauciarticular involvement and progressed to polyarticular involvement had the most severe disability, affecting 25% of these patients. Social and professional pursuits were most often satisfactory in spite of numerous problems encountered during the school years.
