Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate disease activity indices of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) using telephone tele-visits compared to traditional face-to-face clinic visits.
- A total of 78 RA patients participated, with assessment results showing mixed agreement between the RAPID3 score from telephone assessments and two other disease activity measures (DAS28-CRP and DAS28-ESR), indicating moderate to low correlation.
- Satisfaction rates among patients regarding the telephone assessments were low, suggesting that this tele-rheumatology approach may not be effective for RA follow-up and needs further refinement.
