Correlation between disease activity markers and systemic score in 37 patients with AOSD. These data were assessed using a Spearman correlation.
| Disease Activity Markers | Correlation Coefficient (p value) | |
|---|---|---|
| S100A12 | sRAGE | |
| Systemic score | 0.419 (0.01) | 0.221 (0.188) |
| Leukocyte | 0.147 (0.386) | 0.163 (0.336) |
| ESR | 0.38 (0.02) | 0.09 (0.597) |
| CRP | 0.358 (0.03) | 0.03 (0.858) |
| Ferritin | 0.396 (0.015) | 0.15 (0.376) |
All significant data are in bold face. Systemic score by Pouchot, et al3 assigns a score from 0 to 12 and adds 1 point for each of the following manifestations: fever, typical rash, pleuritis, pneumonia, pericarditis, hepatomegaly or abnormal liver function tests, splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, leukocytosis ≥ 15,000/mm2, sore throat, myalgia, and abdominal pain. AOSD: adult-onset Still’s disease; sRAGE: soluble receptor for advanced glycation endproducts; ESR: erythrocyte sedimentation rate; CRP: C-reactive protein.
