DAS28-CRP discriminated the disease activity state better than the DAS28-ESR. The “roccomp” command of Stata was used to establish whether there were significant differences between the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of DAS28-CRP (lower panels) or DAS28-ESR (upper panels).

DAS28-CRP better discriminates the minimal disease activity versus DAS28-ESR. We used the “roccomp” command of Stata to determine whether the areas under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves of DAS28-CRP (right panel) or DAS28-ESR (left panel) were significantly different.
