LOINC description : The Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) is a useful clinical composite score
for measuring a patient's rheumatoid arthritis activity in a clinical setting. It
is scored by simply adding the numerical values within each of a set of predetermined
areas: a twenty eight joint assessment is used to measure tender and swollen joint
count; a patient and physician global assessment of disease activity is measured using
a visual analogue scale, and finally, levels of the protein C-reactive are measured
(mgudl, normal 1 mgudl).;
