Core domain set for studies of acute calcium pyrophosphate crystal arthritis: OMERACT delphi survey to establish consensus

Semin Arthritis RheumPublished Delphi consensus survey

Authors' conclusion

Joint pain, joint swelling, joint tenderness, duration of acute CPP crystal arthritis flare, overall function, ability to complete daily tasks, and patient global assessment of disease activity received the strongest support to be included in the OMERACT core domain set for studies of acute CPP crystal arthritis.

Study context

Population
Patient research partners (PRPs) and other participants (mainly clinicians and researchers)
Outcome
