Investigating Neutrophil-Lymphocyte Ratio as a Predictive Marker of Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background and purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease characterized by synovitis, inflammation, and joint destruction that if not well controlled can destroy cartilage, bone, ligaments and tendons, and in some cases cause disability. The aim of this study was to evaluate the possible role of the ratio of neutrophil-lymphocyte (NLR) as an inflammatory mar...
متن کاملA simplified disease activity index for rheumatoid arthritis for use in clinical practice.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to verify the usefulness of a simple disease activity index (SDAI) for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS The SDAI is the numerical sum of five outcome parameters: tender and swollen joint count (based on a 28-joint assessment), patient and physician global assessment of disease activity [visual analogue scale (VAS) 0-10 cm] and level of C-reactive pr...

متن کاملDisease activity measures for rheumatoid arthritis.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory autoimmune and progressive disease. In patients with RA, persistent disease activity ultimately results in irreversible radiographic damage of the joints with persistent functional loss as a consequence. Disease activity measures assess a disease state at a particular time point. In order to evaluate the course of the disease in daily clinical practi...
متن کامل25(OH) vitamin D serum values and rheumatoid arthritis disease activity (DAS28ESR)
Background: The role of vitamin D in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis is under investigation. This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between serum values of 25(OH) vitamin D [25(OH)D] and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients according to Disease Activity Score 28 joints and ESR (DAS28ESR). Methods: Ninety-nine patients according to ACR classification crit...
