✦ Synopsis

A secondary analysis of two new large practitioner surveys, one national and one local, showed the prevalence of juvenile arthritis to be between 0.16 and 0.43 cases per 1,OOO children. These rates compare quite closely with the mqjority of reports both in the United States and the world. We believe the prevNence of juvenile arthritis is between 0.2 and 1 case per 1, OOO children (13,oo(M3,000 children), with the best estimate being about 0.5 c a m per 1, OOO children. Based on the 1980 census data, this latter estimate means there are approximately 32,000 children with juvenile arthritis in the United States. Current estimates of the prevalence of juvenile arthritis (JA) in the United States range from 6,000 cases (1) to 250,000 cases (2), or 0.1 to 4.0 cases per 1,OOO children. This more than 40-fold difference reflects the varying study methods and the difficulties in obtaining prevalence data on uncommon diseases such
