TI  - MCID/Low Disease Activity State Workshop: low disease activity state in 
      rheumatoid arthritis.
PG  - 1110-1
AB  - The MCID (minimal clinically important difference) module of OMERACT 5 developed 
      a research agenda that led to the conclusion that a state of low disease activity 
      for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) would need to be defined. To develop such a 
      definition the various concepts and terminologies, the process for developing an 
      operational definition, and the availability and design of longitudinal datasets 
      for validation needed to be considered. This article describes the process of the 
      MCID/Low Disease Activity State Workshop at OMERACT 6 to develop such a 
      definition.
