ASSESSMENT TOOLS
In order to measure disease activity, progression, and change with therapy in rheumatic diseases, it is important to use accurate, reliable, and feasible and validated outcome measures that can
ideally be employed in longitudinal cohorts, clinical trials, and clinical practice.
Here we present and update of assessment tools employed in rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing spondilytis making emphasis in validated instruments in Spanish versions.
We hope to enlarge this list in a near future. Collaborations from everywhere are welcome.
