DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT
Type Of Measure Composite Index
Brief Description

The ClinTrialsESSDAI was created using data from the Abatacept Sjögren Active Patients phase III (ASAP-III) RCT and the Trial of Anti-B cell Therapy in Patients with Primary Sjögren’s Syndrome (TRACTISS) RCT. Total score was calculated using existing weightings of the ClinESSDAI (which also excludes the biological domain). 

The six most frequently active clinical ESSDAI domains at baseline in the ASAP-III trial were: glandular (any activity: 91%), articular (58%), constitutional (46%), haematological (43%), lymphadenopathy (29%) and cutaneous (23%) domain. In the TRACTISS trial they were: articular (44%), haematological (24%), glandular (21%), constitutional (15%), cutaneous (11%) and lymphadenopathy (9%). These domains were selected to include in the ClinTrialsESSDAI

Recommendations to score

Each item is rated in 3 to 4 levels (No, Low, Moderate, High) scores being 0-3.

  • Glandular (0-2): 2
  • Articular (0-3): 3
  • Constitutional (0-2): 4
  • Haematological (0-3): 2
  • Lymphadenopathy (0-3): 4
  • Cutaneous (0-3): 3
Score Interpretation The higher the score, the higher the activity
