Zhuravleva M.O. ASSESSMENT OF FUNCTIONAL STATUS OF PATIENTSWITH REACTIVE ARTHRITIS The aim of the study was to evaluate the functional capacity of patients with ReA questionnaires BASDAI, DFI and scale LEFS. The research studied 35 patients with ReA mean age 42 ± 2,03 years, mainly acute flow. Questionnaires were examined before and after 1 and 3 months after treatment. There were more pronounced correlation with clinical signs of activity than with the laboratory. The most valid for patients with ReA were BASDAI and LEFS. Questionnaires can be used for dynamic assessment of functional impairment in patients with ReA in outpatient clinical practice.Key words: reactive arthritis, functional activity, BASDAI, DFI, LEFS
