Here's one EULAR-Berlin release that has a nice aside.....

>> DAS28 is a measure of disease activity in RA. The score is calculated by a complex mathematical formula, which includes the number of tender and swollen joints (out of a total of 28), the erythrocyte sedimentation rate (a marker of systemic inflammation), and the patient’s ‘global assessment of global health’ (indicated by marking a 10 cm line between ‘very good’ and ‘very bad’). A DAS28 score greater than 5.1 indicates severe active disease, less than 3.2 low disease activity, and less than 2.6 DAS28 remission. <<

and this, 24 weeks on anti-IL-6R, no previous biologics......

>> a DAS28 remission rate of 40 percent with ACTEMRA versus 11 percent with adalimumab (DAS28 <2.6) <<
