We evaluated physician and patient global assessments of disease activity, tender and swollen 28 joint counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), and CRP measured in a single clinic visit for 151 RA patients.
Cumulative disease activity (swollen, tender joint counts) were not linked with BMDa (data not shown).
