Highlights |
• | In Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) disease activity, pain and emotional well-being were independently associated with being in patient acceptable symptom status (PASS). |
• | Among patients in inflammatory remission, being in PASS was more frequent among older patients and residents in countries with lower Gross Domestic Product per capita. |
• | PASS status is related to many factors beyond disease activity, which deserve careful consideration when devising management strategies. |
Abstract |
Objectives |
To explore the clinical and socio-demographic factors associated with Patient Acceptable Symptom Status (PASS) in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA).
Methods |
In a post-hoc analyses of a cross-sectional study, RA patients from 11 countries were included. PASS was assessed as acceptable/not acceptable status by the patient. Variables collected included socio-economic (gender, age and country gross domestic product (GDP) per capita) and clinical variables: DAS28-3vESR (28 joint counts and Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate), the patient-reported Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID) score and its seven domains (scored 0 to 10). Patients in PASS or not were compared through univariable tests and factors associated with PASS assessed by multivariable forward conditional logistic regression. A similar analysis was performed in the subgroup patients in DAS28 remission (n=168).
Results |
A total of 548 patients were included: 80.5% female, mean (±SD) age 55.8±12.8years, disease duration 13.6±10.6 years, DAS28 3.6±1.5. Overall, 360 (65.7%) considered themselves to be in PASS. Independent factors positively associated with being in PASS were age>50 years [odds ratio, OR 1.67; (95% confidence Interval: 1.04–2.67)], a lower DAS28 [OR: 1.28 (1.08–1.52)], lower pain [OR:1.45 (1.27–1.64)] and better emotional well-being [OR:1.28 (1.13–1.45)]. Among patients in remission, being in PASS was positively associated with less severe pain [OR: 2.50 (1.79–3.84)], age>50 years [OR 3.30 (1.03 to10.87)] and living in a country of the low GDP category [OR: 5.08; (1.34–19.23)].
Conclusions |
Being in PASS is related to many factors besides disease activity, including age, perceived impact of the disease and national GDP.
