Interobserver reliability of BM and PD positivity showed excellent agreement (kappa = 0.85).</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>The Pediatric internationally agreed UltraSound hip synovitis protocol (PIUS-hip) could be limited to one longitudinal scan including B-Mode scoring plus measurement of anterior recess size for maximal sensitivity and specificity for synovitis.</p>","PeriodicalId":54630,"journal":{"name":"Pediatric Rheumatology","volume":"23 1","pages":"87"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-08-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12345126/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144838596","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
