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.

They should then give a quality rating on an ...
The sensitivity of RF for established rheumatoid arthritis is only 60 to 70 percent with a specificity of 78 percent. [8] 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]

The World Health Organization published the first tumour response criteria in 1981. However the specification documents were unclear which led to criteria adjustments and inconsistent conclusions. In the mid-1990s, an International Working Party was created to simplify and standardize response criteria; it then published RECIST in 2000.
