Disease activity was calculated by DAS-28-ESR calculator and levels of disease markers were estimated in serum. We noticed positive correlation between DAS-28, CRP (r=0.63, p=0.00) and ESR (r=0.72, p=0.00). Moderate and weak correlation was found with RF (r=0.41,...
Background & objectives: In patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), disease severity assessment is done using Disease Activity Score in 28 joints with ESR (DAS28). Computing DAS28 is time-consuming, requires laboratory testing and an online calculator. There is a need to validate rapid methods...

Evaluation of response to a treatment can be made much easier and more objective using the DAS28. The DAS provides a score between 0 and 10, a larger number indicating more active disease. When using the score to assess response to treatment, a DAS-28 reduction by 0.6 represents a moderate...

Conclusions: The new SASDAS is a highly effective measure in assessing disease activity and it showed comparable internal and external responsiveness with respect to the ASDAS ESR/CRP response criteria in patients with axial SpA. SASDAS is easy to calculate and, therefore, appear suitable for ...
The patient cohort comprised 397 consecutive axial SpA patients who had never been treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) blockers. Clinical and laboratory outcome assessments were performed at baseline, and at week 24. The following parameters were evaluated: BASDAI, ASDAS-CRP, ASDAS-ESR, and...
