[Scoring of disease activity using BASDAI and ASDAS method in XXXX ].

@entity1 @entity5427 @entity1295 @entity615 @entity1691 @entity7127 @entity158
Bath @entity1691 Activity Index (BASDAI) is the most frequently used @entity1691 activity assesment by which through 6 questions 5 basic diseases symptoms ( @entity1295 , @entity615 , @entity158 /swelling, enthesitic points, intensity and duration of @entity7127 ) are being evaluated. In distinction from mentioned, @entity1691 Activity Score (ASDAS) is the first validated index for the @entity5427 activity assessment with the @entity1 's assessments of the disease symptoms ( @entity615 , duration of the morning stiffess, activity of the disease, @entity158 ) includes the acute phase reactants (SE or CRP). We compared BASDAI and ASDAS indexes to the group of @entity1 with the @entity5427 , in order to evaluate their congruence and to evaluate the inluence of @entity615 at obtained values. The cross-sectional study was performed in a group of 36 @entity1 with the @entity5427 whose disease activity levels were evaluated by the BASDAI and ASDAS (SE) index. Statistical data analysis was performed by Student t-test and frequency tables for non-parameter data. As it has been expected the significant correlation between BASDAI and ASDAS indexes has been confirmed (r=0.796; p=0.00). BASDAI/ASDAS average value of all of the @entity1 was 4.2/2.8. From 36 @entity1 with the @entity5427 according to the BASDAI index 42% had mild active disease (BASDAI <4), while according to ASDAS index 44% @entity1 had very active disease (ASDAS 2.1-.5.3). Higher activity of the disease according to ASDAS index is the result of the elevated sedimentation which is assessed only in ASDAS index. @entity1 with higher BASDAI index statistically have more significantly expressed @entity1295 and @entity158 without statistically significant difference in sedimentation (p=0.120). Examinees with higher ASDAS index have also significantly more expressed @entity615 , but unlike BASDAI they have sedimentation (p=0.001). ASDAS is more recent clinical indicator of the @entity5427 activities which could be compared to BASDAI instrument. In this group of @entity1 ASDAS seems to be more sensitive index because it discriminates more @entity1 with the active disease.
