Physician ability to assess rheumatoid arthritis disease activity using an electronic medical record–based disease activity calculator

Abstract: Objective. To assess physicians' concordance with Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) categories calculated by an electronic medical record (EMR)-embedded disease activity calculator, as well as attitudes toward this application. Methods. Fifteen rheumatologists used the EMR-embedded disease activity calculator to predict a rheumatoid arthritis (RA) DAS28 disease activity category at the time of each clinical encounter. Results. Physician-predicted DAS28 disease activity categories ranged from high (>5… Show more

“…The primary outcome was a EULAR good response versus no response (n = 505 versus n = 316, respectively). We chose this dichotomous outcome measure to minimize heterogeneity across the 9 cohorts, since the DAS28 is more accurate for patients with either high or low disease activity (46). …”

“…The recommended initial daily dose of auranofin for adults with rheumatoid arthritis is 6 mg, which has few adverse side effects (Collier et al, 2009;Sanders, 2000). Because many gold complex compounds, including cisplatin, exert potent anticancer activities, auranofin and its analogs have been evaluated for antitumor activity.…”

“…Diagnostic accuracy also varies. Montnémery reports 76.5% of asthma cases were properly diagnosed during the first visit in Sweden [38] and physician ability to accurately assess the category of rheumatoid arthritis activity varied between 31% and 88% depending on the disease progression class [39]. We conservatively assume that each provider has a different error rate chosen at random between 0 and 2%.…”
