Abstract:

Radiographic data are commonly used to assess structural joint damage in RA. The use of statistics to analyze this data is important and often needs additional consideration due to the nature of radiographic disease progression. Some key characteristics of this data will be highlighted. Statistical methodology in this area will be discussed, including the standard rank method, such as Wilcoxon rank; covariates adjusted method, such as Quade; and the strata variables adjusted method, such as Van Elteren.
