In cliot: Clinical Indices and Outcomes Tools

Indian Takayasu Clinical Activity Score (ITAS2010)

Description

Calculates the ITAS2010 and ITAS-A scores to assess disease activity in patients with Takayasu Arteritis. The score assigns weighted points to new or worsening clinical features across systemic, cardiovascular, neurologic, renal, and other domains. A score of 1 or greater indicates active disease. The ITAS-A includes acute phase reactants (ESR/CRP) for enhanced sensitivity.

Usage

itas2010_score(systemic_symptoms, arthralgia, carotidynia, pulse_deficit, bruit,
               bp_discrepancy, claudication, hypertension, dyspnea, abdominal_pain,
               cutaneous_lesions, aortic_regurgitation, angina, heart_failure,
               syncope, tia, renal_failure, stroke, myocardial_infarction,
               bowel_ischemia, esr_crp_elevated = 0)

esr_crp_elevated	Numeric (0/1). Elevated ESR or CRP (for ITAS-A). (+1 pt).

Value

A list containing:

ITAS2010_Score	The clinical activity score (Clinical features only).
ITAS_A_Score	The activity score including acute phase reactants.
Disease_Status	"Active" if score >= 1, otherwise "Inactive".
