The 2010 new criteria rates on a scale from 0-10 points are assigned in four separate domains of signs and symptoms:
1) Joint involvement
2) Serology
3) Duration of symptoms
4) Acute phase reactants
Patients are called as definite RA if there are the score of 6 or more points according to the following criteria
| The 2010 American College of Rheumatology classification criteria for rheumatoid arthritis. | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Domains | Description | Number | Score |
| Joint Involvement | Median-large joint* | ||
| 2-10 | 1 | ||
| 1-3 | 2 | ||
| Small joints@ | 4-10 | 3 | |
| >10~ | 5 | ||
| Serology | No positive for either RF or anti-CCP | 0 | |
| At least one of these test positive at the high titer | 2 | ||
| At least one of these test positive at low titer | 3 | ||
| Duration of synovitis | +/> six weeks | 1 | |
| Acute phase reactants | Neither CRP or ESR is abnormal | 0 | |
| Abnormal CRP or ESR | 1 | ||
*Shoulder, elbow, knee, ankle @ Small joints refer to metacarpophalangeal, proximal interphalangeal, second through 5th metatarsophalangeal, thumb interphalangeal and wrist joints ~ In this category, at least one of the involved joints must be a small joint; the other joints can include any combination of large additional small joint joins as well as other such as temporomandibular, acromioclavicular, sternoclavicular | |||
