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...

متن کامل[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 کاملComparison of Activity Score DAS28-ESR and DAS28-CRP in Moroccan Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background: Disease Activity Score-28 joints (DAS-28) is nowadays the gold standard for measuring the disease activity in patients with RA. The original DAS-28 was based on erythrocyte sedimentation (ESR), but an alternative formula incorporating C-reative protein (CRP) [DAS-28(CRP)] has been developed. Objectives: To compare the disease activity score DAS28-ESR versus DAS28–CRP, and to determi...
