Comparative study of DAS 28 ESR and DAS 28 CRP among rheumatoid arthritis patients in India
Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2016 Abstract Background The Disease Activity Score (DAS) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) involving 28 joints and using erythrocyte stimulation rate (ESR) is used frequently. But the inability of DAS 28 ESR to reflect short-term changes in disease activity has given rise to DAS 28 using C-reactive protein (CRP).

International Journal Of Community Medicine And Public Health, 2022 Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic and chronic disease. Combined indicators, such as disease activity score or DAS-28, can be used to categorize quantitative disease activity status and recovery. But in this calculation there is no difference between using ESR or CRP.

Discrepancies in categorizing rheumatoid arthritis patients by DAS-28(ESR) and DAS-28(CRP): can they be reduced? [PDF]
Rheumatology, 2010 The 28-joint disease activity score (DAS-28) guides the use of biologics in RA. The aims of this study were to investigate agreement between the ESR- and CRP-based DAS-28 definitions, and to examine how this agreement may be improved.Data were obtained from registers of early (n = 520) and established RA (n = 364) patients.
