Observational study evaluates disease activity assessments in rheumatoid arthritis patients, indicating strong correlations with electronic health records.
Key Points
To evaluate the correlation between patient-reported and clinician-assessed disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis using electronic health records.
Conducted an observational study using electronic health records data
Enrolled patients with rheumatoid arthritis completing online ePROMs pre-appointment
Compared self-reported disease activity scores with clinician assessments using correlation coefficients and weighted kappa
Strong correlation observed between patient and clinician assessments of disease activity (r = 0.67)
Patients reported higher DAS28-CRP scores than clinicians (0.77 points difference on average)
Moderate agreement found between disease activity categories, especially for self-assessing remission or low activity.
