Σύνοψη	The Physician Global Assessment (PGA) is a clinician-rated, single-item measure of overall systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity on a visual analogue scale (0–10). Used alongside structured indices like SLEDAI, PGA captures the clinician's integrated judgment of SLE severity, synthesising clinical examination, serology, imaging, and organ-specific findings into a holistic activity score. PGA is simple, practical, and widely used in SLE research and clinical practice as a complementary measure that reflects experienced clinician assessment of disease state.	The DAS28 is a composite measure of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease activity, combining joint counts, inflammatory markers, and patient-reported global health. Developed in 1995 by Prevoo and colleagues, it has become the gold standard for monitoring RA activity in clinical trials and practice. It integrates objective clinical signs with laboratory and subjective assessment, providing a single numerical index of disease burden.
