Progress Towards a Core Set of Outcome Measures in Small-vessel Vasculitis. Report from OMERACT 9
Journal of Rheumatology, 10/20/09

Merkel PA et al. – The focus of the OMERACT group to date has been on outcome measures in small–vessel vasculitis with an overall goal of creating a core set of outcome measures for vasculitis, each of which fulfills the OMERACT filter of truth, discrimination, feasibility, and identifying additional domains requiring further research. This process has been informed by several ongoing projects providing data on outcomes of disease activity, disease–related damage, multidimensional health–related quality of life, and patient–reported ratings of the burden of vasculitis.
