Tight control of rheumatoid arthritis in a resource-constrained setting: a randomized controlled study comparing the clinical disease activity index and simplified disease activity index [PDF]

Rheumatology, 2014
The aim of this study was to explore the clinical utility of the clinical disease activity index (CDAI). We compared the disease control with protocolized treatment adjustment following a tight control strategy utilizing either the simplified disease activity index (SDAI) or the CDAI.In a prospective 12 month study, DMARD-naive RA patients were ...

Clinical Parameters to Predict Future Clinical Disease Activity After Treatment Change to Higher-Dose Subcutaneous Interferon Beta-1a From Other Platform Injectables in Patients With Relapsing-Remitting Multiple Sclerosis

Frontiers in Neurology, 2020
Objective: To identify predictors of clinical disease activity after treatment change to higher-dose interferon beta-1a in relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS).Methods: This was a retrospective-prospective observational multicenter study.

Patients’ and clinicians’ perspectives on the clinical utility of the Rheumatoid Arthritis Foot Disease Activity Index

Rheumatology International, 2022
AbstractAlthough patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are recommended in clinical practice, their application in routine care is limited. The Rheumatoid Arthritis Foot Disease Activity Index (RADAI-F5) is a validated PROM for assessing foot disease in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Serum Reactive Oxygen Metabolites as a Predictor of Clinical Disease Activity Index, Simplified Disease Activity Index, and Boolean Remissions in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated With Biologic Agents [PDF]

Cureus, 2021
Introduction Reactive oxygen metabolites (ROMs) are metabolite hydroperoxides in the blood, and their serum levels were associated with the disease activity score 28 (DAS28) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). In this study, we aimed to investigate whether ROMs would be predictive of the clinical disease activity index (CDAI) remission ...

Sjogren's Systemic Clinical Activity Index (SCAI) a systemic disease activity measure for use in clinical trials in primary Sjogren's syndrome [PDF]

Rheumatology, 2007
This article describes the development of the Sjögren's Systemic Clinical Activity Index (SCAI) for the measurement of systemic disease activity in patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome (PSS).A pilot tool was developed based on expert consensus and previous published data.

Correlation of rheumatoid arthritis activity indexes (Disease Activity Score 28 measured with ESR and CRP, Simplified Disease Activity Index and Clinical Disease Activity Index) and agreement of disease activity states with various cut-off points in a Northeastern Brazilian population

Revista Brasileira de Reumatologia (English Edition), 2015
The Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) and its versions have been used to measure rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity, but there is no consensus about which one is the best.Determine the correlation among indexes (DAS28 ESR, DAS28 CRP, SDAI and CDAI) and evaluate agreement of activity strata using different cutoff points.Rheumatoid arthritis patients ...

Solid Pseudopapillary Neoplasm of the Pancreas in Children and Adolescents: Expert Recommendations

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Solid pseudopapillary neoplasm of the pancreas (SPN) is a rare low‐grade malignant exocrine pancreatic tumor, mostly discovered during the second decade of life in females, with a very good prognosis, provided microscopically complete surgical excision is achieved.
