b Clinical Research Center for Rheumatoid Arthritis (CRCRA), Seoul , South Korea.
Objective: To identify the level of agreement between patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and physicians in the global assessment of disease activity and to explore factors influencing their discordance.
Methods: A total of 4368 patients with RA were analyzed from the KORean Observational study Network for Arthritis (KORONA) database. Patients were divided into four subgroups according to difference from their physicians in the assessment of disease activity by substracting physician's visual analog scale (VAS) from patient's VAS as follows: positive discordance group I (10 mm ≤ discordance <25 mm), positive discordance group II (≥25 mm), concordance (<|10| mm), and negative discordance (≤ -10mm).
