Acute Phase Reactants • C-Reactive protein (CRP) • Correlates with disease activity and radiologic progression • One of the most responsive acute phase reactants • Can be elevated in many non-RA related diseases • Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) • Influenced by non-acute phase response factors • Can be elevated in many non-RA related diseases

RADAI Please, answer these questions about your arthritis. 1) In general, how active has your arthritis been over the past 6 months? 2) In terms of joint tenderness and swelling, how active is your arthritis today? • How much arthritis pain do you feel today? • Were your joints stiff when you woke up today? If yes, how long did this stiffness last? less than 30 minutes 30 minutes to 1 hour 1 – 2 hours 2 – 4 hours more than 4 hours all day 5) Please, indicate the amount of pain you are having today in each of the joints areas listed below.
X-rays evaluation and scoring • Sharp Method (and modified score) • Erosions and joint space narrowing • Genant-Sharp Method • Variable of the Sharp Method (half score) • Larsen Method (and modified score) • Global score on erosions
Modified Sharp Score Scale :0 = normal 1 = doubtful2 = > 50 % normal3 = < 50 % normal or subluxation 4 = ankylosis Total Sharp Score = JSN + JE Joint space narrowing Joint erosions 44 joints 40 joints Scale : 1 = mild modification2 to 4 = size of the erosion 5 = complete destruction van der Heijde DM: Baillieres Clin Rheumatol 1996;10:435-453. 16
