(A) Disease activity categories by DAPSA versus Q-DAPSA and (B) disease activity categories by DAPSA and cDAPSA

AQ-DAPSA (n=104)
Remission (≤4)Low disease activity (>4 and ≤14)Moderate disease activity (>14 and ≤28)High disease activity (>28)
DAPSA
 Remission (≤4)36 (34.6%)1 (1.0%)
 Low disease activity (>4 and ≤14)38 (36.5%)1 (1.0%)
 Moderate disease activity (>14 and ≤28)22 (21.2%)
 High disease activity (>28)6 (5.8%)
Weighted Cohen’s Kappa: 0.980 (95% CI: 0.952 to 1.000)
BcDAPSA (n=104)

  • Fields highlighted in red indicate that disease activity categories do not match between both compared scores. Percentage values refer to the entire study population included in statistical analysis (n=104).

  • cDAPSA, clinical DAPSA; DAPSA, Disease activity index for PSoriatic Arthritis; Q-DAPSA, DAPSA calculated with a quick quantitative C reactive protein assay.
