Which sites does LEI assess?

LEI assesses 6 sites: lateral epicondyle of humerus (bilateral), medial condyle of femur (bilateral), and Achilles insertion (bilateral). Each site scores 0 (not tender) or 1 (tender). Maximum score = 6.

What is the LEI's clinical utility?

LEI is simple and quick to perform with high inter-rater reliability. It is the enthesitis measure in the DAPSA composite and is endorsed by GRAPPA and EULAR for routine PsA monitoring.
