Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To prove correlation in joint space narrowing progression between our proposed system and standard system from baseline to week 52. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To prove that our proposed system can show joint space narrowing (JSN) progression at week 52 is grater in those with greater JSN progression at week 24. To show correlation in JSN progression between at week 52 and at week 24 using our proposed system. To show JSN progression at week 52 is greater than that at week 24 using our proposed system. To prove the group with higher disease activity at week 0 has significantly greater JSN than that with lower disease activity at followup. | — |
