Zusammenfassung

Die in den letzten Jahren entwickelten validierten Aktivitätsscores für die chronische Polyarthritis erlauben eine longitudinale Dokumentation der Effektivität der angewendeten Therapiestrategien. Durch Anwendung der Aktivitätsscores in der täglichen Routine und bei jeder Visite könnte unter vergleichsweise geringem Aufwand die Behandlung der Patienten mit chronischer Polyarthritis deutlich verbessert werden. In diesem Überblick wird die Evidenz für einen Nutzen der Anwendung dieser Scores in der klinischen Routine dargestellt.

Abstract

Disease activity scores for rheumatoid arthritis have been developed and validated in recent years. They allow the longitudinal documentation of the effectiveness of treatment. Application of these scores in routine daily practice could significantly improve the effectiveness of therapy with relatively little effort. This review presents evidence for the benefits of the application disease activity scores in clinical routine.
