Clin Exp Rheumatol. 2006 Nov-Dec;24(6 Suppl 43):S-29-32.

Abstract

The Disease Activity Score (DAS) and DAS28 are continuous measures of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity. Values of DAS %lt;1.6 and DAS28 %lt; 2.6 correspond with an increased likelihood of being in remission. This review presents development of the DAS and DAS28 remission cut points and their interpretation.
