Abstract:
OBJECTIVES:To establish a new assessment tool for ulnar drift (UD) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS:We established an observational cohort of 67 patients (134 rheumatoid hands) beginning in 2004. Fifty-two patients (100 hands) had follow-up in 2009 and 37 patients (63 hands) completed follow-up in 2015. UD was evaluated with the Fearnley classification and our scoring method, which assesses four parameters of the metacarpophalangeal joint. Cluster analysis using UD parameters divided hands into groups. Changes in UD over time, correlation of the Fearnley stage and cluster with a functional assessment, and reliability of the parameters were analyzed. RESULTS:UD increased and worsened over time according to the trend test. A dendrogram indicated five clusters would be appropriate. Both the Fearnley classification and cluster were associated with function; however, our method related to function more linearly (R-squared: 0.42). We found one type of hand in which bone destruction precedes the joint dislocation and one type in which joint dislocation progresses with little deviation during UD progression. CONCLUSION:Our UD evaluation appeared to be simple and related to function. Additionally, it enables dividing UD hands into five stages. Thus, our assessment should be beneficial compared to the Fearnley classification in considering treatments of UD.
