Moderate to strong correlations between RADAI-F5 and MSUS demonstrate the good measurement properties of this instrument. With greater confidence in the utility of the RADAI-F5, clinical use of this new instrument as an adjunct to the disease activity score for 28 joints (DAS-28) could help to identify RA patients at risk for poor functional and radiological outcomes.
