Abstract

Objectives To evaluate the utility of the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) adult fibromyalgia criteria for use in adolescents with juvenile fibromyalgia (JFM).Study design Participants included 47 adolescent girls diagnosed with JFM (mean age = 15.3 years) and 48 age- and sex-matched adolescents (mean age = 15.0 years) with localized chronic pain (eg, headaches or abdominal pain). A trained examiner administered the Widespread Pain Index and Symptom Severity measures and also completed a manual tender point exam. Clinicians completed a form indicating the presence of active JFM per Yunus and Masi (1985) criteria, the only available and most commonly used measure for JFM. Criterion validity analysis was performed as well as t tests comparing symptoms between JFM and controls.Results With the Yunus and Masi criteria used as the gold standard, the 2010 ACR fibromyalgia criteria showed a sensitivity of 89.4% and specificity of 87.5%.Conclusion The 2010 ACR measure appears to be a valuable tool for the identification of JFM. However, a slight modification to the 2010 ACR measure and inclusion of a clinical exam is recommended.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
