For over 30 years investigators have used the simple but non-validated classification criteria suggested by Moll and Wright. Several authors have suggested modifications but most remain invalid or require HLA analysis. Now, a world wide initiative has developed new criteria (the CASPAR criteria) which include both clinical, laboratory and radiological features. These will require further study before they are fully adopted for future studies but their improved performance should result in less variation between study cohorts.
30多年来，研究人员一直使用莫尔（Moll）和赖特（Wright）提出的简单但未经验证的分类标准。几位作者提出了修改建议，但大多数仍然无效或需要进行 HLA 分析。现在，一项全球倡议制定了新的标准（CASPAR标准），其中包括临床、实验室和放射学特征。在它们被完全用于未来研究之前，还需要进一步研究，但它们改进后的性能应该会减少研究队列之间的差异。
