DAS28 Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Score

Calculates the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) using tender joint count, swollen joint count, ESR or CRP, and patient global assessment. Remission <2.6, low activity <3.2, moderate 3.2–5.1, high ≥5.1.

Clinical Guidance

BMI is a screening measure of body size, not a direct measure of body fat. The standard WHO categories are underweight (<18.5), normal (18.5–24.9), overweight (25–29.9), and obese (≥30).

BMI can overestimate body fat in athletes with high muscle mass and underestimate it in older adults with low muscle mass. Interpret it alongside waist circumference and clinical context rather than as a standalone diagnosis.

How It Works

Calculates the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) using tender joint count, swollen joint count, ESR or CRP, and patient global assessment. Remission <2.6, low activity <3.2, moderate 3.2–5.1, high ≥5.1

Each component has a specific meaning:

  • Tender joint count — The tender joint count recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • Swollen joint count — The swollen joint count recorded for the scenario being assessed.
  • ESR or CRP — The esr or crp recorded for the scenario being assessed.

Note: Interpret the das28 result against the thresholds and context described above.

How to Use

Enter the tender joint count, swollen joint count, ESR or CRP for the scenario you are assessing. Calculates the Disease Activity Score in 28 joints (DAS28) using tender joint count, swollen joint count, ESR or CRP, and patient global assessment. Remission <2.6, low activity <3.2, moderate 3.2–5.1, high ≥5.1. Use the das28 result to inform your calculation.
