OMERACT Definitions for Ultrasonographic Pathology and Elementary Lesions Of Rheumatic Disorders Fifteen Years On

Abstract

Objective. The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) ultrasound (US) working group (WG) operates research activities for the validation of US as an outcome measurement instrument according to the Filter 2.0 framework

Methods. From the onset of the WG research in 2005 through now, original publications on definitions and scoring systems for pathophysiological manifestations and elementary

lesions of various rheumatic disorders were reviewed

Results. Definitions and scoring systems according to new terminology are provided

Conclusions. We have redefined OMERACT definitions of US pathology and elementary lesions as well as scoring systems which are now proposed for OMERACT approval for application in clinical trials
