Abstract

Evaluation of disease activity plays an important role in the treatment and monitoring of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Objectives:To describe the characteristics of energy Doppler ultrasound of wrist joints in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Determining some factors related to the image of wrist joint damage on energy Doppler ultrasound with some clinical and subclinical characteristics of the disease. Subjects and methods of study: A cross-sectional description was performed on 103 rheumatoid arthritis patients at the musculoskeletal department of Nghe An General Hospital. Results: Wrist vascular proliferation on PDUS level Grade 1 (mild proliferation) accounted for 58.25%, level 2 (moderate proliferation) was 24.27% and 7.70% at level 3 (strong proliferation);. The degree of angiogenesis according to the semi-quantitative scale on energy Doppler ultrasound of the wrist joints in rheumatoid arthritis patients has a significant relationship with factors reflecting the clinical and laboratory activity of the disease. is the number of swollen joints, the number of painful joints, the overall VAS, the CRP concentration and the commonly used disease activity index, which is DAS28-CRP. Conclusion:Power Doppler ultrasound of the wrist joint can be used as a method to measure rheumatoid arthritis activity level.
