The Relapsing Polychondritis Damage Index (RPDAM): development of a disease-specific damage score for relapsing polychondritis

Conclusion:We have developed by international consensus a scoring system to assess damage in patients with relapsing polychondritis. Following its validation, the RPDAM may contribute to improve the care of patients suffering from this rare condition as well as to standardize data collection for future clinical trials.
