Mourão, AF; Santos, MJ; Melo-Gomes, J; Martins, FM; Costa, JA; Ramos, F; Brito, I; Duarte, C; Figueira, R; Figueiredo, G; Furtado, C; Lopes, AOur aims were to evaluate the correlation between Juvenile Arthritis Disease Activity Score 27-joint reduced count (JADAS27) with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and JADAS27 with C-reactive protein (CRP) scores and to test the agreement of both scores on classifying each disease activity state. We also aimed at verifying the correlation of the 2 scores across juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories ...
