Performances of Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) and Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) appear to be better than the gold standard Disease Assessment Score (DAS‐28‐CRP) to assess rheumatoid arthritis patients

Abstract: The study shows an excellent strong positive correlation between DAS-28-CRP, CDAI and SDAI at initial evaluation but not at final visit. SDAI- and CDAI-based remission criteria seem to be better than DAS-28-CRP-based remission criteria.

“…The proportion of females was higher than males and the average age of the patients was 51.93±14.2, with a mean 4.78±3.60 years of disease duration. These findings was comparative to previous studies [8][9][10]. Prabhakaran AP et al, had a high CDAI score in 60% of their cases.…”

“…However, in the latter the disease remission was based on DAS28‐CRP < 2.6, 9 which is a less stringent cut‐off of SDAI remission adopted in our study. SDAI remission, as suggested by ACR/EULAR recommendations, 1 is associated with lowest risk of x‐ray progression and residual subclinical inflammation 2,10‐12 . Furthermore, 4 out of 6 ‘steroid‐yes’ patients stopped the first bDMARD for loss of efficacy but regained SDAI remission after switching to a bDMARD with a different mechanism of action.…”

“…We defined patients as biologic disease‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs)‐refractory on the date they had started their third class of bDMARDs before enrolment into the study . The degree of activity of RA disease was evaluated by the clinical disease activity index (CDAI) score . Patients with a CDAI score >10 were defined as subjects with activated pattern of the disease having moderate‐high disease activity, those with CDAI score >22 having high disease activity .…”
