Asscociation of optical score of the Handscan with DAS 28 and changes in medication
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Prospective blinded observational study (registry) investigating the additive value of the diffuse optical imaging (the Handscan) to daily clinical practice in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. We will perform a blinded Handscan in a large group of RA patients during two years. After two years we will investigate the association of Handscan and different disease activity scores and the predictive value for help in clinical decision making such as changes in medication.
Doel van het onderzoek
The Handscan is supposed to be more accurate than the current widely used DAS 28, it might be able to measure subclinical disease activity.
We want to investigate in which clinical situation, the handscan can be an aide in decision making or can be used as a subtitute for health care professionals.
Onderzoeksopzet
Follow up of patients with RA for a period of two years. A handscan will be made every regular visit before going to the health professional.
