Discrepancies in categorizing rheumatoid arthritis patients by DAS-28(ESR) and DAS-28(CRP): can they be reduced?
OBJECTIVES The 28-joint disease activity score (DAS-28) guides the use of biologics in RA. The aims of this study were to investigate agreement between the ESR- and CRP-based DAS-28 definitions, and to examine how this agreement may be improved. METHODS Data were obtained from registers of early (n = 520) and established RA (n = 364) patients. Agreement over disease activity levels (remission...
متن کاملDAS-28-based EULAR response and HAQ improvement in rheumatoid arthritis patients switching between TNF antagonists
INTRODUCTION No definitive data are available regarding the value of switching to an alternative TNF antagonist in rheumatoid arthritis patients who fail to respond to the first one. The aim of this study was to evaluate treatment response in a clinical setting based on HAQ improvement and EULAR response criteria in RA patients who were switched to a second or a third TNF antagonist due to fail...
متن کاملReliability and validity of CDAI and SDAI indices in comparison to DAS-28 index in Moroccan patients with rheumatoid arthritis
BACKGROUND Clinical disease activity index (CDAI) and simplified disease activity index (SDAI) are useful tools for the evaluation of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but have not been comparatively validated in Moroccan population. Therefore, this study was designed to assess validity and reliability of CDAI and SDAI in comparison to disease activity score-28 joints...
متن کاملImpaired Left Ventricular Diastolic Functions and Thickened Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients is Correlated with DAS-28 Score.
BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that is known to be associated with high cardiovascular (CV) morbidity and mortality. In this study, we aimed to demonstrate whether RA disease activity reflected with disease activity score-28 (DAS-28) had an impact on left ventricular diastolic functions and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness in RA patients with no ...
متن کاملCorrelation between DAS-28 and neopterin as a biochemical marker of immune system activation in early rheumatoid arthritis.
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to evaluate neopterin plasma concentrations in patients with early Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and correlate them with disease activity. METHODS This is a 28-month prospective study carried out on 65 individuals. There were 27 patients with early RA and 38 healthy volunteers as control group. Enzyme immunoassay was used to measure concentrations of neop...
