Longitudinal Validation of the Brief Index of Lupus Damage [PDF]
Arthritis Care & Research, 2014 ObjectiveTo provide further validation of the Brief Index of Lupus Damage (BILD), assessing its sensitivity to change in disease status and ability to predict mortality risk.MethodsData were from the University of California, San Francisco Lupus Outcomes Study (n = 958), in which the BILD was administered twice, approximately 5 years apart. We examined

Damage identification after seismic events through damage indexes
Procedia Structural Integrity, 2023 The seismic events that have affected the building heritage over the past years have highlighted the vulnerability and the huge direct and indirect losses associated with earthquakes. The research of methodologies able to evaluate the post-earthquake damage state is clearly decisive to allow a quick and safe estimation of the building state in the ...
