    The study evaluated the use of non-component clinical variables for risk stratification of disease activity in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).

  • 2

    A total of 800 JIA patients were enrolled from three centers, with disease activity categorized using established JADAS27 cutoffs.

  • 3

    Machine learning models were trained on non-component variables, excluding JADAS27 components to avoid circular prediction.

  • 4

    Support Vector Machine (SVM) achieved the highest external validation performance with an accuracy of 0.731 and macro AUC of 0.918.

  • 5

    Key predictors identified included CHAQ score, JIA subtype, pain score, limited joint count, and C-reactive protein.
