A simplified disease activity index for rheumatoid arthritis for use in clinical practice

Lara D. Veeken · 2003 · Vol. 42(2) · pp. 244–257

Abstract

The SDAI is a valid and sensitive assessment of disease activity and treatment response that is comparable with the DAS 28 and ACR response criteria; it is easy to calculate and therefore a viable tool for day-to-day clinical assessment of RA treatment. Overall results indicate that the SDAI has content, criterion and construct validity.
