Assessment of Rheumatoid Arthritis in Clinical Care
Öz: Kas-iskelet sistemi hastalığı olan bireylerin kantitatif izlemi her klinik uygulamanın parçası olmalıdır. Kantitatif izlem,hekimin hastanın klinik durumu ve zaman içindeki değişimini değerlendirme kapasitesini arttırır ve daha doğru klinik kararlar vermesini sağlar. Ayrıca ardışık hastalarda rutin veri toplama, randomize klinik çalışmalardan elde edilebilecek bilgiden ötede uzun süre boyunca hasta gruplarının analizini kolaylaştırır.

Romatoid Artritin Klinik Deÿerlendirmesi
Öz: Quantitative clinical monitoring of patients with musculoskeletal conditions should be included in the infrastructure of every clinical practice. Quantitative monitoring improves the physician's capacity to assess and document a patient's clinical status and changes over time, which leads to greater accuracy in the underlying rationale for clinical decisions. Furthermore, routine data collection in consecutive patients facilitates analyses of groups of patients over long periods in usual care, beyond information that can be obtained from randomized clinical trials.
