Definition of Treatment Targets in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Is It Time for Reappraisal?

J Rheumatol. 2021 Jun 1:jrheum.210050. doi: 10.3899/jrheum.210050. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn the current issue of The Journal of Rheumatology, Kremer and colleagues1 compare the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) with a slightly modified Corrona Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (cRAPID3) in terms of correlation and disease activity categorization, using 2 large US registries of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Overall, a low concordance between these 2 composite indices (κ = 0.29) was found in terms of disease activity categories, despite a moderate correlation between their numerical global scores (rs = 0.58 and 0.72, for the BRASS and CORRONA registries, respectively).PMID:34074683 | DOI:10.3899/jrheum.210050
