A Comparative Study Between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Polyarthritis with Respect to Rheumatoid Factor (RF), C-Reactive Protein (CRP), Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate (ESR) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Abstract

Arthritis is a form of joint disorder that involves inflammation of one or more joints. Pain, which can vary in severity, is a common symptom in virtually all types of arthritis. The present study is a comparative study between rheumatoid arthritis and polyarthritis with respect to various parameters such as RF, CRP, ESR and VAS. As results, the comparison between these types of arthritis is statistically significant (p < 0.05) between RA and PA with respect to RF, CRP, ESR and VAS. The relationship among these parameters was also found to be correlated.

Keywords: Rheumatoid arthritis, polyarthritis, correlation and statistical significant
