23 55 Rheumatoid Arthritis. Correct text is underlined below.
In 2010, new criteria were devised by collaboration between ACR and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) to increase the sensitivity in early disease. The diagnosis of RA is based on the presence of synovitis in at least one joint (for which there is no better alternative diagnosis) and a score of ≥6 out of 10 from the following:
  • Number and size of involved joints (score 0-5).
  • Serologic abnormality (score 0-3).
  • Elevated acute phase response (score 0-1).
  • Symptom duration (score 0-1).
