Abstract
Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA) is one of the most common chronic pediatric rheumatic diseases (PRD). As is the case for most PRD's, evidence-based guidelines are sparse and management is based to great extent on physician’s experience. Moreover, there are differences between nations regarding availability and financing of biological therapies. Consequently, treatment regimens differ throughout Europe. In 2012, a European initiative called SHARE (Single Hub and Access point for pediatric Rheumatology in Europe) was launched to optimize and disseminate diagnostic and management regimens in Europe for children and young adults with rheumatic diseases.
