[Current approaches to assessment of rheumatoid arthritis activity].
OBJECTIVE
To compare domestic criteria of RA activity and the disease activity scores (DAS).


METHODS
Russian criteria of RA activity and DAS were used in 99 RA patients.


RESULTS
It is shown that RA activity by DAS is higher than when it is assessed by criteria practiced in Russia.


CONCLUSIONS
Further studies are necessary to examine clinical value of DAS criteria.
