Primary | Disease Activity Score-28 (DAS-28) | The DAS-28 is a system developed and validated by the EULAR (European League Against Rheumatism) to measure the progress and improvement of Rheumatoid Arthritis. DAS-28 values range from 2.0 to 10.0, while higher values mean a higher disease activity. The complex mathematical calculation is calculated by incorporating the value of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and Visual Analog Scale (VAS). ESR (mm/hr) determines the severity of inflammatory response and monitor the effect of treatment. VAS is an indicator for pain intensity and patient global health, and the following cut points have been recommended: no pain (0-4 mm), mild pain (5-44 mm), moderate pain (45-74 mm), and severe pain (75- 100 mm).
DAS-28 = 0.56 * sqrt(tender28) + 0.28 * sqrt(swollen28) + 0.70 * ln(ESR) + 0.014 * GH The scale categorises RA manifestations as mild (DAS-28: <3.2), moderate (DAS-28: 3.2-5.1) or severe (DAS-28: >5.1) |

Primary | Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index (HAQ-DI) | The HAQ-DI is used to measure physical functionality. The HAQ-DI is usually analyzed by calculating scores.
