Summary of evidence and Expert Committee recommendations
A new section of the Model Lists for “Medicines for diseases of joints” was created to list the treatments for gout and the disease-modifying agents used in rheumatoid disorders and juvenile joint diseases that were previously included in Section 2. Thus, acetylsalicylic acid for the treatment of Kawasaki disease in children was transferred to this new section.
