Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity plays a central role in causing disability both directly and via indirect effects mediated through joint damage, a major sequel of persistent active disease. Evaluation of RA disease activity is therefore important to predict the outcome and effectiveness of therapeutic interventions during follow-up. However,

Introduction Lupus arthropathy (LA) ranges from arthralgia and non-deforming arthritis to severe forms such as Jaccoud-type deformities and mutilating arthritis. Considering the evolving concept of LA, measuring arthritis activity in lupus patients may require a more practical and sensitive tool other than the ...

[Clinical features and disease activity index of Behçet's disease].
Zhonghua yi xue za zhi, 2016The clinical features and two disease activity assessment methods of Behçet's disease were evaluated in order to guide clinical management.A total of 116 patients with Behçet's disease from China-Japan Union Hospital of Jilin University in 2007-2014 were analyzed retrospectively for the gender and age distribution as well as clinical features of ...

Summary In inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), microbial communities often become imbalanced suggesting abnormal microbial‐gut interactions. In this study, we analysed the mucosa‐attached gut microbiota from 26 Crohn's disease (CD) patients using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing.

The Crohn’s Disease Activity Index as a Clinical Instrument
1981Attempts to quantify clinical activity of Crohn’s disease [CD] are made difficult by the facts that it is a disease of unknown etiology and that its manifestations are nonspecific. In planning the National Cooperative Crohn’s Disease Studies [NCCDS], it was apparent that some composite index of disease activity would be useful to classify initial ...

ObjectiveTo compare the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) with the Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) from 2 large United States registries.MethodsUsing a cross section of clinic visits within 2 registries, we determined whether the outcome of each metric would place the patient in remission (REM), low (LDA), moderate (MDA), or ...

Background The Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS 28-CRP/ESR) is widely used in the assessment of disease activity and response to treatment in patients with RA. The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) are new tools for the evaluation of disease activity in Rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Seminars in Arthritis and Rheumatism, 1993
Measuring disease activity is important in the assessment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The value of composite indices in determining activity is discussed. A validated index, the Stoke index, has been used in clinical trials of combination therapy in patients with RA, both to evaluate efficacy and to stratify response to single-agent ...

It has been shown that fecal calprotectin can be used to evaluate mucosal inflammation better than using clinical indices and serum markers. The aim of this study was to assess the use of fecal calprotectin for evaluating the disease activity in 2 groups of patients with ulcerative colitis and a control group.
