On Modelling Minimal Disease Activity
OBJECTIVE To explore methods for statistical modelling of minimal disease activity (MDA) based on data from intermittent clinic visits. METHODS The analysis was based on a 2-state model. Comparisons were made between analyses based on "complete case" data from visits at which MDA status was known, and the use of hidden model methodology that incorporated information from visits at which only ...
متن کاملLow disease activity state in rheumatoid arthritis: concepts and derivation of minimal disease activity.
With recent advances in therapy, the proportion of patients achieving a satisfactory state of minimal disease activity (MDA) is becoming a more important measure with which to compare different treatment strategies. MDA is between high disease activity and remission and anyone in remission will also be in MDA. This paper summarizes the process of coming to a definition of minimal disease activi...
متن کاملMinimal Modelling for Successfulknowledge Base
A minimal approach to modelling belief change is presented, wherein arguably all successful belief change operators are captured. Two assumptions are made: that a notion of similarity between knowledge bases underlies revision, and that the belief change operator being modelled is successful, in that if a knowledge base K is revised by a sentence then will be in the revised knowledge base. The ...

متن کاملModelling disease activity in juvenile dermatomyositis: A Bayesian approach.
Juvenile dermatomyositis is the most common form of the juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathies characterised by muscle and skin inflammation, leading to symmetric proximal muscle weakness and cutaneous symptoms. It has a fluctuating course and varying prognosis. In a Bayesian framework, we develop a joint model for four longitudinal outcomes, which accounts for within individual variabilit...
