Interpretation of DAS28 and its components in the assessment of inflammatory and non-inflammatory aspects of rheumatoid arthritisTools McWilliams, Daniel F. and Kiely, Patrick D.W. and Young, Adam and Joharatnam, Nalinie and Wilson, Deborah and Walsh, David A. (2018) Interpretation of DAS28 and its components in the assessment of inflammatory and non-inflammatory aspects of rheumatoid arthritis. BMC Rheumatology, 2 (8). pp. 1-12. ISSN 2520-1026
AbstractBackground: DAS28 is interpreted as the inflammatory disease activity of RA. Non-inflammatory pain mechanisms can confound assessment. We aimed to examine the use of DAS28 components or DAS28-derived measures that have been published as indices of non-inflammatory pain mechanisms, to inform interpretation of disease activity.
