The presence of IgA rheumatoid factor (IgA‐RF) has been correlated with severe joint disease in adult rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but IgA‐RF has not been reported in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis (JRA). In the present study, IgA‐RF was assayed by an enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay and was found in the sera of 14 of 24 children (58%) with active polyarticular JRA. The presence of IgA‐RF correlated with the degree of functional disability. In contrast, IgA‐RF was not found in the sera of systemic‐onset disease patients, regardless of the degree of dysfunction. IgA‐RF was detected in only 1 patient with pauciarticular disease, despite the fact that several patients in this group had severe disease. The presence of IgA‐RF in polyarticular JRA did not correlate with serum IgA levels, but did correlate with the presence and the level of serum IgM‐RF. Thus, the presence of IgA‐RF appears to be specific for polyarticular JRA, and shows a correlation with severe disease in this group.

“…Analyses of correlations between radiographic scores for the hands and feet and functional capacity scores have ranged from 0.21 to 0.68. Some of these correlations were statistically significant (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), while others were not (7)(8)(9). Therefore, further analysis of a possible association between radiographic damage and functional disability appeared to be of interest, particularly an examination of whether other variables might provide greater explanation of the variation in functional disability scores than the radiographic scores.…”

Objective. To analyze correlations of functional disability scores with other measures of clinical status, in particular, Larsen radiographic scores and pain scores, in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. The functional capacity of 141 patients with RA (102 women, 39 men; median age 57 years; median disease duration 11.8 years; 83% rheumatoid factor positive) was assessed according to the Stanford Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Other variables studied included Larsen scores for radiographic damage of the small joints of the hands, wrists, and feet, pain scores by visual analog scale (VAS), Disease Activity Scores, general health scores by VAS, and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) scores. Results. The Spearman correlation coefficient comparing HAQ and Larsen scores was 0.277 (P 0.001) and between HAQ and pain scores 0.652 (P < 0.001). In regression analysis, pain scores explained 41.4% of the variation in HAQ scores, normalized Larsen scores explained 7.3%, and BDI scores explained 5.5%; other variables were not significant in the model. Conclusion. Functional capacity scores of patients with RA are correlated at higher levels with pain scores than with radiographic scores of small joints.
