Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Disease activity status

    Describe the disease activity score using DAS 28 ESR

    During the first two years of follow up: the evaluations will be every 2 months. After those years: the evaluations will be every 2, 4 or 6 months depending on disease activity status.

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Change from Baseline of the Patient Reported Outcome : HAQ (Health Assessment Questionnarie)

    During the first two years of follow up: the evaluations will be every 2 months. After those years: the evaluations will be every 2, 4 or 6 months depending on disease activity status.

  • Change from Baseline of the Patient Reported Outcome: RADAI (Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity Index)

    During the first two years of follow up: the evaluations will be every 2 months. After those years: the evaluations will be every 2, 4 or 6 months depending on disease activity status.

  • Change from Baseline of the Patient Reported Outcome : SF-36 (Short Form Health Survey)

    During the first two years of follow up: the evaluations will be every 2 months. After those years: the evaluations will be every 2, 4 or 6 months depending on disease activity status.

  • Predictors of health care drop-out

    During the first two years of follow up: the evaluations will be every 2 months. After those years: the evaluations will be every 2, 4 or 6 months depending on disease activity status.

  • Mayor Depressive Episodes (MDE)

    During the first two years of follow up: the evaluations will be every 2 months. After those years: the evaluations will be every 2, 4 or 6 months depending on disease activity status.

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Interventions

At study enrollment, medical history, disease-specific autoantibodies, ACR 1987 classification criteria for RA were applied. Medical evaluations were standardized and included at least 66 swollen and 68 tender joint counts, acute reactant-phase determinations , patient and physician reported outcomes, comorbidity established by record review, and treatment assessments (name, dose and schedule of all drug they were taking) along with an evaluation of persistence, at six-month intervals. Patients were evaluated by a single rheumatologist every two months during the first two years of follow-up, and every two, four or six months thereafter. Also the following scores: Michigan Hand Outcome Questionnaire (MHQ), Disabilities of the Arm, Shoulder and Hand Outcome Measure (DASH),Mayor Depressive Episodes (MDE) was defined using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview and the severity of depressive symptoms was assessed with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-II).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)
Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

The Instituto Nacional de Ciencias Médicas y Nutrición Salvador Zubirán (INCMNSZ) belongs to the National Institutes of Health of México. Patients enrolled in the Early arthritis cohort had a disease duration of \<1 year when first evaluated, and no specific rheumatic diagnosis except for RA. Patients had partial health coverage and paid for their physician's consultations, laboratory investigations and for their treatment that was prescribed by the rheumatologist in charge of the clinic, and was "treat to target" oriented.

You may qualify if:

  • Patients ≥18 years old
  • Fulfilled ACR 1987 classification criteria for RA
  • Disease evolution of \<1 year when first evaluated, and no specific rheumatic diagnosis except for RA.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with another rheumatic disease, except Sjögren syndrome.
