Does the Combined Arteritis Damage Score (CARDS) in the Diagnosis of Takayasu Arteritis Predict Prognosis and Need for Biologic Therapy?
The prediction of prognosis and biologic treatment need at TAK diagnosis using non-invasive angiographic images can improve outcomes and prompt closer follow-up. The combination of CARDS and WT as mCARDS achieved the highest sensitivity and specificity, and all scores appear useful for predicting prognosis.
