Main Article Content
Abstract
Introduction: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease, causing joint damage and functional impairment. Worldwide prevalence of RA is around 0.5 to 1 percent. Disease severity assessment in Rheumatoid Arthritis patients is done routinely using Disease Activity Score in 28 joints with ESR (DAS-28 ESR) and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI). The present study sought to evaluate and correlate disease activity in RA patients from Southern India using DAS-28 ESR and CDAI.
