What DAS28-ESR scores define remission and activity levels?

DAS28-ESR 5.1 = high disease activity. Treat-to-target guidelines aim for remission or low disease activity.

Why does DAS28-ESR differ from DAS28-CRP?

ESR and CRP respond differently to inflammation and have different normal ranges. DAS28-ESR typically produces slightly higher scores than DAS28-CRP in the same patient, requiring separate thresholds.
