Disease activity assessment of rheumatoid arthritis in daily practice: validity, internal consistency, reliability and congruency of the Disease Activity Score including 28 joints (DAS28) compared with the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI).
OBJECTIVE The Disease Activity Score including 28 joints (DAS28) and the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) were developed in order to provide a quantifiable measure of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the validity and internal consistency reliability for DAS28 and CDAI in patients with RA seen by rheumatologists in usual clinical care. We also compa...

heteropoly acids (hpa) and their salts have advantages as catalysts which make them both economically and environmentally attractive, strong br?nsted acidity, exhibiting fast reversible multi-electron redox transformations under rather mild conditions, very high solubility in polar solvents, fairly high thermal stability in the solid states, and efficient oxidizing ability, so that they are imp...
15 صفحه اول[A comparison between the Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) and the Disease Activity Score (DAS28) as measure of response to treatment in patients undergoing different therapeutic regimens].
OBJECTIVE To compare the SDAI values to DAS28 scores in RA patients undergoing different DMARD regimens. METHODS The SDAI is an unweighted numerical sum of five outcome parameters: tender and swollen joint count (based on 28-joint assessment), patient and physician global assessment of disease activity (visual analogue scale: 0-10 cm) and level of C-reactive protein (mg/dl). 80 patients (F/M ...
متن کاملThe Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) and the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI): a review of their usefulness and validity in rheumatoid arthritis.
Composite indices or pooled indices are useful tools for the evaluation of disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They allow the integration of various aspects of the disease into a single numerical value, and may therefore facilitate consistent patient care and improve patient compliance, which both can lead to improved outcomes. The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDA...
متن کاملThe roles of sex, Perceived Pain and illness Perceptions on Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background: In the “treating to target” strategy to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) management, “cognitive” beyond “physical” measures allow a more comprehensive assessment. This study reports a predictive analysis of patient properties on Disease Activity, and the degree to which these predictions could be uniquely attributable to Illness perception (IP), pain, and sex differences. Methods: This cr...
