Validity and reliability of the twenty-eight-joint count for the assessment of rheumatoid arthritis activity: JOINT COUNT IN RA ASSESSMENT
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the validity of the 28-joint count for assessment of joint involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: Joint involvement as determined by the 28- and the 66/68-joint count was compared using data from 735 prospectively studied RA patients. RESULTS: The joints included in the 28-joint count were more commonly involved than other joints, and findings from the 28-joint count correlated highly with those from the 66/68-joint count in all analyses. CONCLUSION: The 28-joint count is a reliable and valid measure for joint assessment. It is easier to perform than the 66/68-joint count, and it addresses the joints that are critically involved.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
