The aim of the study was to assess ultrasound (US) remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in clinical remission using different definitions.This was a cross-sectional study including patients with RA in clinical remission defined by disease activity score (DAS28)-erythrocyte rate (ESR) ≤ 2.6 for at least 6 months. Each patient underwent B-mode and power Doppler (PD) assessments of 42 joints and 20 tendons. B-mode and PD signal for synovitis and tenosynovitis (TS) were defined and graded semi- ...

Background: Disease activity indices in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) often do not assess the feet, potentially leading to residual symptoms in patients classified as in remission. The Rheumatoid Arthritis Foot Disease Activity Index (RADAI-F5) is a newly validated tool designed to evaluate RA activity specifically in the feet Objectives: The aim of this study is to investigate the association between RA activity in the feet and overall RA activity and functional indices, as well as joint ultrasound data. Methods: ...
