Scores for all seasons: SDAI and CDAI.

چکیده
Disease activity assessment is one of the most pivotal aspects in the care of RA patients. Composite measures of disease activity are superior to individual measures, since they capture the multiple facets of the disease. Since swollen joint counts correlate with joint damage progression and tender joint counts with physical function, composite scores that include joint counts are preferable. The simplified and clinical disease activity indices (SDAI, CDAI) are easy to calculate and correlate well with joint damage and physical function. Cutpoints for disease activity states have been established and improvement criteria likewise. The SDAI and CDAI remission criteria (ACR-EULAR index-based remission) are stringent, usually associated with a halt of progression of damage and optimisation of physical function and can still be achieved in 1 of 4 clinic patients and up to one third of patients in trials of early arthritis.

Acute phase reactants add little to composite disease activity indices for rheumatoid arthritis: validation of a clinical activity score
INTRODUCTION Frequent assessments of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity allow timely adaptation of therapy, which is essential in preventing disease progression. However, values of acute phase reactants (APRs) are needed to calculate current composite activity indices, such as the Disease Activity Score (DAS)28, the DAS28-CRP (i.e. the DAS28 using C-reactive protein instead of erythrocy...
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 کاملDAS28, CDAI and SDAI cut-offs do not translate the same information: results from the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register Reuma.pt.
OBJECTIVES . The 28-joint DAS (DAS28), clinical disease activity index (CDAI) and simplified disease activity index (SDAI) are indices frequently used to assess disease activity in RA patients. Cut-off values were defined to classify the states of RA disease activity: remission, low, moderate and high. The aim of this work was to assess disease activity states classified by DAS28, CDAI and SDAI...

OBJECTIVES Our goal is to study the correlations among gray-scale seven-joint ultrasound score (GS-US7), power Doppler seven-joint ultrasound score (PD-US7), disease activity score-28 joints (DAS28), simplified disease activity index (SDAI) and clinical disease activity index (CDAI) in patients with and without fibromyalgia (FM). METHODS A matched case-control study included all patients cons...

This study aims to investigate the value of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in detecting Bone Marrow Edema (BME) in the Metacarpophalangeal (MCP) and wrist joints for Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) and the correlation between the degree of BME and the disease activity of RA. Nonenhanced MRI scan of dominant wrist/metacarpophalangeal joints of 60 active RA patients were scored for BME using 0.2 T ex...
