[Radiologic and clinico-serological correlates in rheumatoid arthritis]

In a study of 86 patients with rheumatoid arthritis a valid statistical correlation can be found between the entity of the osteo-articular lesions of the hand and wrist shown by radiography to a high definition and some clinical and serological parameters. The results indicate a good correlation with a large part of the considered parameters (anatomical stage, functional class, duration of the disease, VES, gamma-globulins, serological activity) and confirm the validity of the high definition radiographical study in the follow-up of the disease.
