Correlation of disease activity score using erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein with clinical disease activity index in rheumatoid arthritis patients

C-reactive protein versus erythrocyte sedimentation rate in estimating the 28-joint disease activity score.

Validity and Agreement between the 28-Joint Disease Activity Score Based on C-Reactive Protein and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Objective. To validate the agreement between the 28-joint disease activity score based on erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28-ESR) and the 28-joint disease activity score based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) in a group of Danish patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods. Data from 109 Danish RA patients initiating biologic treatment were analysed at baseline and following one year o...

Correlation between Serum Levels of Calprotectin with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Background and Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease defined by chronic synovitis and progressive joint destruction. This study investigated calprotectin as a serological marker in the hope of establishing an adequate means of diagnosing RA and following up on patients. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study included 32 RA patients who were referred to the rh...

Cytidine deaminase activity, C reactive protein, histidine, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate as measures of disease activity in psoriatic arthritis.

Cytidine deaminase activity, C reactive protein, histidine, and erythrocyte sedimentation rate were measured in 36 subjects with psoriatic arthritis of varying disease duration and severity. Although cytidine deaminase activity may provide an integrated measure of synovial inflammation in rheumatoid arthritis, neutrophil accumulation in psoriatic plaques compromises this measure in psoriatic ar...

Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein levels are poorly correlated with clinical measures of disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus and osteoarthritis patients.

OBJECTIVE To determine the patterns and correlation of elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels with outcome measures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and compare it to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and osteoarthritis (OA) patients. METHODS Brooklyn Outcomes Arthritis Registry Database (BOARD) was analyzed to determine both first visit and mean value...
