Foot involvement in early rheumatoid arthritis: a prospective study of ultrasound features
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Patients with early RA were assessed prospectively for 12 months using high-resolution B-mode and Power Doppler (PD) ultrasound. A cumulative ultrasound score was derived to measure change in the presence of joint effusions, synovitis, erosions, PD, and tenosynovitis between baseline and 12 months. Change in scores was calculated alongside change in global disease (DAS28), disability (HAQ) and foot-related impairment (FIS-RAIF) and disability (FIS-RAAP) using FIS-RA subscales.
