Histologic scoring indices for evaluation of disease activity in Crohn’s disease [PDF]

Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2017
Histologic assessment of mucosal disease activity has been increasingly used in clinical trials of treatment for Crohn's disease. However, the operating properties of the currently existing histologic scoring indices remain unclear.A systematic review was undertaken to evaluate the development and operating characteristics of available histologic ...

A patient-derived disease activity score can substitute for a physician- derived disease activity score in clinical research [PDF]

Rheumatology, 1999
Joint counts have a central role in assessing disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). They are usually undertaken by physicians or nurses. We investigated whether joint counts can be devolved to patients and evaluated the use of a patient-derived Disease Activity Score (DAS).One hundred RA patients attending a specialist unit were evaluated ...
