Correlation of Hypothyroidism With Disease Activity Score-28 in Patients of Rheumatoid Arthritis. [PDF]
Introduction Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disorder with variable disease course including periods of flares and remissions. High disease activity in terms of disease activity score-28 (DAS-28) results in significant morbidity. Hypothyroidism is found to be associated with higher DAS-28 scores in RA.

Juvenile arthritis disease activity score is a better reflector of active disease than the disease activity score 28 in adults with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis. [PDF]
A considerable proportion of children with polyarticular juvenile idiopathic arthritis (polyJIA) experience active disease into adulthood.1 However, there is no validated disease activity measure for adults with polyJIA, and they are often assessed using the disease activity score 28 (DAS28). DAS28 is validated in adults with rheumatoid arthritis (RA),

The association of anti-CCP1 antibodies with disease activity score 28 (DAS-28) in rheumatoid arthritis. [PDF]
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is one of the most frequent autoimmune diseases in the world which affect about 1% of people. Measurement of the anti-CCP1 antibody titer in these patients is one of the new tests that is available in our country and in the multiple studies has been shown to be more specific than rheumatoid factor in the diagnosis of RA (97%).

The role of disease activity score 28 in the evaluation of articular involvement in systemic lupus erythematosus. [PDF]
Objectives. To evaluate the application of Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) to assess joint involvement in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).Methods. Sixty-nine SLE patients, complaining of joint symptoms, and 44 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients were enrolled. In SLE patients disease activity was assessed with SLEDAI-2K. DAS28 was calculated in all

Analysis of the correlation between disease activity score 28 and its ultrasonographic equivalent in rheumatoid arthritis patients. [PDF]
Objective: To study the differences between disease activity score 28 (DAS28) index and an ultrasound (US) approach using index echographic disease activity score (ECODAS). Methods: This was a cross-sectional study in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Demographic, clinical, and laboratory data were collected.

Defining criteria for rheumatoid arthritis patient-derived disease activity score that correspond to Disease Activity Score 28 and Clinical Disease Activity Index based disease states and response criteria [PDF]
Two versions of a patient-based DAS (PDAS) 1 and 2 (with and without ESR) have been developed and validated in RA. The objective of this study was to define PDAS1- and PDAS2-based criteria for remission, low, moderate and high disease activity and responses to treatment.Using receiver operating characteristic curves, the optimal thresholds for PDAS1 ...

Influence of age and gender on the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
To investigate the influence of age and gender on the components of the 28-joint Disease Activity Score (DAS28) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and to clarify whether a high DAS28 can be equally interpreted in all age groups, independent of gender.A prospective cohort of 553 patients with RA was studied for approximately 20 years after ...
