A number indicating how much a person’s rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has improved, based on guidelines set forth by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR). The ACR score represents a percentage. An ACR20 score means that a person’s RA has improved by 20%, an ACR50 score means it has improved by 50%, and an ACR70 score means it has improved by 70%.
An RA patient who, after treatment, has at least 20% fewer tender joints and at least 20% fewer swollen joints, and who shows a 20% improvement in three or more of the following factors: the patients general self-assessment, the physician’s general assessment of the patient, the patients self-assessment of their pain-level, the patient’s self-assessment of their own physical capabilities, the inflammations test (traditionally erythrocyte sedimentation rate or C-reactive protein blood test). ACR50 and ACR70 correspondingly refer to 50% and 70% improvement, respectively. [2]
The ACR score is more often used in clinical trials.
The Rheumatoid Arthritis Severity Scale (RASS) is based on sections of the ACR scoring system.[3]
The ACR score has largely been replaced by the 2010 ACR / EULAR Rheumatoid Arthritis Classification Criteria.[4] which involves anti-CCP testing.
