| Popis: | The need for limiting definitions in the rheumatic disease field has been emphasized. Definitions must draw sharp lines between diseases and at the minimal severity at which a diagnosis is acceptable. This need is just as great for the clinician planning therapeutic trials as for the epidemiologist studying the distribution of disease in the population. |
