A disease activity score for polymyalgia rheumatica.
OBJECTIVE To develop a composite score for measurement of disease activity in polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and assess its internal and external validity. METHODS A PMR activity score (AS) was designed and assessed for internal and external validity in two patient cohorts: 57 international patients evaluated primarily for development of the PMR-AS at baseline, weeks 4 and 24; and for validatio...
متن کاملFinal validation of a new composite disease activity score for juvenile idiopathic arthritis: the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS)
Materials and methods The JADAS is composed of the following measures: 1) physician's global assessment (0–10); 2) parent's global assessment (0–10); 3) active joint count (assessed in 71, 27 or 10 joints); 4) ESR (normalized to 0–10). It yields a score ranging from 0 to 40, 57 or 101, depending on whether the whole 71-joint count (JADAS-71) or the 27joint (JADAS-27) or 10-joint (JADAS-10) redu...
متن کاملDefinition of improvement in juvenile idiopathic arthritis using the juvenile arthritis disease activity score.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to define improvement thresholds for the Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score (JADAS). METHODS Physicians' and parents' judgements on treatment efficacy, the ACR paediatric response measure (PedACR) and JADAS were extracted from BIKER. Patients were categorized by baseline classes in the 10-joint JADAS (JADAS10) as low (5 to <15), moderate (15 to <25) ...
متن کاملUniversal Score of Structural Abnormality in Alzheimer's Disease
Introduction. In-vivo structural brain measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have already been established as effective diagnostic tool for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) [1]. Of particular importance to diagnosis are the medial temporal regions, such hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, which start to undergo atrophy even before any symptoms can be detected, and other brain areas become ...
متن کاملA patient-derived disease activity score can substitute for a physician-derived disease activity score in clinical research.
OBJECTIVE 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). METHODS One hundred RA patients attending a specialist unit were evaluated, comparing joint counts by...
