title: Assessment of Patients with Takayasu Arteritis in Routine Practice with Indian Takayasu Clinical Activity Score.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To assess the Indian Takayasu Clinical Activity Score (ITAS2010) in followup of Takayasu arteritis (TA).
  
  
  METHODS
  ITAS2010 forms were filled in prospectively (n = 144). Clinical activity was assessed with physician's global assessment (PGA) and criteria defined by Kerr, et al.
  
  
  RESULTS
  ITAS2010 was significantly higher in patients with active disease. Total agreement between ITAS2010 and PGA was 66.4%, and between ITAS2010 and Kerr, et al was 82.8%. During followup, 14 of 15 patients showing vascular progression with imaging were categorized as having inactive disease according to ITAS2010.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  ITAS2010 was discriminatory for activity during the followup, but the agreement between PGA and ITAS2010 was moderate. Future work should include the incorporation of advanced vascular imaging and demonstration of ITAS2010 as a scalable measure and not simply a dichotomous measure of activity/flare versus remission.
