The European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) formerly the European League Against Rheumatism is a European non-governmental organization which represents the people with arthritis/rheumatism, health professional and scientific societies of rheumatology of all the European nations.
Simplest classification tree: SLE is diagnosed if a person has an immunologic disorder (anti-DNA antibody, anti-Smith antibody, false positive syphilis test, or LE cells) or malar rash. It has sensitivity = 92% and specificity = 92%. Full classification tree: Uses six criteria. It has sensitivity = 97% and specificity = 95%.
Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (i.e., cSLE), also termed juvenile-onset systemic lupus erythematosus, juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, and pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus, is a form of the chronic inflammatory and autoimmune disease, systemic lupus erythematosus (i.e., SLE), that develops in individuals up to 18 years old. [1]
Of these, systemic lupus erythematosus (also known as SLE) is the most common and serious form. A more thorough categorization of lupus includes the following types: [15] [16] [17] Childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus; acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus; subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus; discoid lupus erythematosus (chronic ...
These new classification criteria overruled the "old" ACR criteria of 1987 and are adapted for early RA diagnosis. The "new" classification criteria, jointly published by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) and the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) establish a point value between 0 and 10
Rheumatoid factor is part of the 2010 ACR/EULAR classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis. RF positivity combines well with anti-CCP and/or 14-3-3η to inform diagnosis. [9] RF positivity at baseline has also been described as a good prognostic marker for future radiographic damage. [10]
ACR score is a scale to measure change in rheumatoid arthritis symptoms. [1] It is named after the American College of Rheumatology.The ACR score is more often used in clinical trials than in doctor patient-relationships, as it allows a common standard between researchers.
This classification is based on the current scientific consensus and reflects the level of evidence supporting the autoimmune nature of the disorder. Lastly, the prevalence rate, specifically in the United States, is included to give a sense of how common each disorder is within the population.
