TL;DR: The SSDDI is an adequate instrument to objectively measure damage in patients with SS, and that the SSDAI is a valid tool to measure disease activity when used either as a single-state index or as a transition index.
Journal ArticleDOI
Vitamin D deficiency in rheumatoid arthritis: prevalence, determinants and associations with disease activity and disability
Maurizio Rossini,Susanna Maddali Bongi,Giovanni La Montagna,G. Minisola,Nazzarena Malavolta,Luigi Bernini,Enrico Cacace,Luigi Sinigaglia,Ombretta Di Munno,Silvano Adami +9 more
TL;DR: In RA patients vitamin D deficiency is quite common, but similar to that found in control subjects; disease activity and disability scores are inversely related to 25(OH)D levels.
