ter Haar et al developed the Autoinflammatory Disease Damage Index (ADDI) to evaluate a patient with an autoinflammatory disease. The authors are from multiple hospitals from around the world.
Patient selection: autoinflammatory disease
Parameters:
(1) fertility unrelated to partner
(2) amenorrhea if female
(3) amyloidosis
(4) proteinuria (persistent urinary protein to creatinine ratio > 20 mg/mmol in the morning void; daily protein excretion > 0.3 g per 24 hours; urine albumin to creatinine ratio > 15 mg/mmol)
(5) renal insufficiency
(6) growth failure (>= 2 of the following: lower than 3rd percentile height for age; growth velocity over 6 months less than 3rd percentile for age; crossing at leaset two centiles (5%, 10%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 90%, 95%) on growth chart
(7) puberty delay (Tanner stage below -2 SD for age)
(8) serosal scarring (adhesions or fibrosis)
(9) developmental delay (failure to reach age-appropriate developmental milestones)
(10) cognitive impairment
(11) elevated intracranial pressure
(12) central nervous system involvement
(13) hearing loss of better ear
(14) ocular involvement of better eye
(15) joint restriction (fixed limitation in normal range of motion)
(16) bone deformity or overgrowth
(17) osteoporosis (confirmed by densitometry or fracture)
(18) musculoskeletal pain (non-inflammatory, impairs activities of daily living)

• The higher the score the greater the damage.
