Computing DAS28 is time-consuming, requires laboratory testing and an online calculator. There is a need to validate rapid methods of disease severity assessment for routine daily use. This study was conducted to compare DAS28, Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), Health Assessment Questionnaire...
Inference, including constructing credible intervals for predicted ESR and mDAS28-CRP, was performed using Markov-Chain-Monte-Carlo. Bland-Altman analysis and agreement matrices were used to compare agreement levels between mDAS28-CRP, DAS28-CRP and DAS28-ESR. Results 5457 patients (mean age 56...
