Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Correlation Between Beliefs About Medicines Questionnaire (BMQ) Necessity Score and Disease Activity Score Based on 28 Joints Count (DAS28) at Month 12
Correlation between BMQ necessity and DAS28 was assessed by using Pearson correlation coefficient. BMQ necessity: 5-item scale assessing participant's beliefs about necessity of medications for controlling disease. Participants indicate degree of agreement on a 5-point scale, ranging from 1=strongly disagree to 5=strongly agree. Scores obtained for individual items were summed, divided by total number of items and multiplied by 5 to give total score ranging from 5 to 25 (higher scores=stronger beliefs). DAS28: calculated from number of swollen joint count (SJC); tender joint count (TJC) using 28 joints count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) (millimeter per hour \[mm/hour\]) and participant's assessment of disease activity (DA) on visual analog scale (VAS) (range 0 \[very well\] to 100 millimeter (mm) \[extremely bad\]). DAS28 less than or equal to (\<=) 3.2=low DA; greater than (\>) 3.2 to \<=5.1=moderate DA; \>5.1=high DA; \<2.6=remission.
