BACKGROUND: Treatment of @entity4932 ( @entity4932 ) has improved quality of life in @entity1 and adolescents with @entity4932 . Standardisation of care offers the chance to improve the quality of care of those @entity1 . New studies have been published after completion of our last treatment guideline (2007). An updated consensus process is mandatory. METHODS: A systematic literature analysis in PUBMED (key words: juvenile idiopathic ( @entity309 ) @entity625 , therapy; limits: @entity1 , published in the last 3 years, all @entity1 0-18 years, clinical trial) revealed 17 relevant studies. Studies relating to diagnosis of @entity4932 , @entity1596 , vaccination, transition were excluded. Representatives nominated by scientific societies and organisations were invited to consensus conferences which were hosted by a professional moderator. The following societies were invited: Berufsverband der Kinder- und Jugend  rzte (BVKJ), Deutsche Gesellschaft f  r Kinder- und Jugendmedizin (DGKJ), Deutsche Gesellschaft f  r Rheumatologie (DGRh), Deutsche Ophthalmologische Gesellschaft ( @entity235 ), Deutsche Rheuma-Liga Bundesverband, Verein zur F  rderung und Unterst  tzung rheumatologisch erkrankter Kinder und deren Eltern, Vereinigung f  r Kinderorthop  die, Zentraler Verband der Physiotherapeuten und Krankengymnasten (ZVK). Consensus conferences were each attended by more than 95% of the nominated representatives. Consensus statements were confirmed by nominal group technique and Delphi method. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Updated consensus statements regarding drug therapy, symptomatic and surgical management of @entity4932 were compiled and judged strictly by the criteria of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM).
