Quantitative Patient Questionnaire Monitoring in Standard Clinical Care of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (QUEST-RA) • 100 RA patients from site over 2-6 months • Patient questionnaire: 4 pages HAQ + HAQ II,MDHAQ items; MDHAQ • MD questionnaire: 3 pages SPERA - Standard Protocol to Evaluate RA: clinical features, medications, 42 joint count 4 major goals: • Experience with questionnaires in standard care • Database for patient scores, DAS, work status, etc. in different sites and countries • Compare therapies atdifferent sites • Paient self-report RADAI joint count vs physician/assessor joint count
Quantitative Patient Questionnaire Monitoring in Standard Clinical Care of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis (QUEST-RA) Possible advantages over existing databases: • All RA patients over a given period – not only those taking anti-TNF, etc. • Predicition of going on to anti-TNF? • Enhance clinical rheumatology as a quantitaive science Please contact TP if interested. t.pincus@vanderbilt.edu Thank you
The National Data Bank for Rheumatic Diseases (NDB) • Founded 1998 • Goal: a generalizable, comprehensive, valid, reliable, believable national databank for research and teaching • Surveys at 6 month intervals • Mailed surveys, Internet, Telephone interviewing • Follow-up medical records, MD and patient contact • RA 77%, also OA, SLE, fibromyalgia, etc. • Programmers, research analysts, verifiers, QC staff, callers, records department, mortality staff, designers, administrators

Complexities in assessment of patients with rheumatic diseases: No single “gold standard” (eg, blood pressure, cholesterol) for clinical trials or standard care: therefore, indices of 3-7 measures. Laboratory tests limited in both diagnosis and treatment - primary criteria are clinical. Patient questionnaires to assess physical function, pain, global status, often best quantitative measures.

Saving time and improving care with a multidimensional health assessment questionnaire: 10 practical considerations T Pincus, Y Yazici, M Bergman J Rheumatol 33:448-454, 2006
Question for Rheumatologists For patients with RA under your care (not including patients in clinical trials), how often do you perform formal tender and swollen joint counts? Never 13% 1–24% of visits 32% 25–49% of visits 11% 50–74% of visits 14% 75–99% of visits 16% Pincus and Segurado Ann Rheum Dis 2006 Always 14%
Methods • A cross-sectional database of 100 consecutive patients with RA was established at 3 sites: • New York –Yazici, Philadelphia – Bergman, Nashville –Pincus. • The rheumatologists completed a 28 joint count. • Patients completed an expanded health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), including a self-report RADAI joint count.

Criteria for clinical measure • Clinical trials - • Validity – does it measure what is supposed to be measured? • Reliability – is it reproducible? • Clinical care – also consider • Feasibility – can it be performed? • Acceptability – will clinicians assess it?
