  1. Numbers are presented as n with the percentage of the children in the subgroup in the parentheses. The numbers represent a treatment year in one patient
  2. *Intra-articular glucocorticoid injections were considered as a treatment entity of its own. Thus, we have not taken into account the numbers of injections per year in a single patient
