A simple method of assessing 'index of disease activity' (IDA) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using a multivariate analysis (MVA) comprising morning stiffness (MS), pain scale (PS), grip strength (GS), articular index (AI), haemoglobin (Hb) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is described. The IDA of 99 patients with RA was assessed using MVA. The method could be used reliably and readily for random or longitudinal assessment, in drug trials and for comparing disease activity with other objective indices.
描述了一种使用多变量分析（MVA）评估类风湿性关节炎（RA）“疾病活动指数”（IDA）的简单方法，该多变量分析包括晨僵（MS）、疼痛量表（PS）、握力（GS）、关节指数（AI）、血红蛋白（Hb）和红细胞沉降率（ESR）。使用MVA对99例RA患者的IDA进行了评估。该方法可可靠且容易地用于随机或纵向评估、药物试验以及将疾病活动与其他客观指标进行比较。
