Evaluation of EULAR-RAID Score in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients

Summary

The Disease Activity Score (DAS) is a system of measurement developed in the 1980s that uses certain criteria, including joint counts and patient perceived disease activity, to measure disease activity in people with Rheumatoid Arthritis . More recently, the European League against Rheumatism (EULAR) has developed a new system of measurement known as the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease score, or EULAR-RAID score. The EULAR-RAID score is a composite score based on patient reported outcomes, and includes such criteria as pain, functional disability, fatigue, sleep disturbances, coping, overall assessment of physical well being and overall assessment of psychological well being. The objective of this study is to evaluate the practical modalities and performance of the EULAR- RAID score in patients with rheumatoid arthritis who have been prescribed etanercept as part of usual medical practice.
