Anti-CCP, antibodies against cyclic citrullinated peptides; CRP, C-reactive protein; DAS28, Disease Activity Score calculated on 28 joints; DMARDS, disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; HAQ, Health Assessment Questionnaire; N, number; RF, rheumatoid factor; SD, standard deviation.
Because of the design of Intego (no episode registration and no recording of cure) prevalence rates can only be calculated on incurable chronic diseases, such as diabetes.
Five-year disease-free survival, calculated on the 38 patients who were free of disease after completing all treatments, was 49,8% (Fig. 5).
We have demonstrated a distinct association between ocular lens fluorescence and the estimated risk of ischemic heart disease (IHD) calculated on the basis of a number of non-ocular health parametres.
Disease activity was assessed by the Disease Activity Score calculated on 28 joints (DAS28) [ 22].
Disease activity was measured by the composite index Disease Activity Score calculated on 28 joints (DAS28) [ 27].
These studies were conducted in outbreak settings, and attack rates were calculated on the basis of clinical diseases that included influenza-like illness (ILI) or acute respiratory illness (ARI) of close contacts rather than confirmed infection with pandemic (H1N1) 2009 virus.
All the oxidative damage markers correlated positively with the disease activity score calculated on 28 joints.
Here, the p-values for each disease biomarkers were calculated on the entire ontological categories such as molecular function, biological processes and cellular localization.
To study the feasibility in long-term studies of the most frequently used remission criteria, the disease activity score calculated on 28 joints (DAS28) remission criterion and the new American College of Rheumatology/EU criteria.
