“…Demographic data, clinical manifestations, and variables including gender, age, occupation, marital status, education, comorbidity, tobacco use, alcohol use, disease duration, pain score, patient and physician global assessment of disease activity measured on a 10 cm visual analog scale (VAS), number of tender joints, number of swollen joints, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, rheumatoid factor (RF), anti‐citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies, and radiographic evidence of hand and/or feet erosion were collected and analyzed. Disease activity and functional status were evaluated using the Disease Activity Score of 28 joints (DAS28) and the Thai version of the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), respectively. The Thai version of the EuroQoL 5‐dimensional questionnaire (EQ‐5D) was used to assess health‐related quality of life (HRQoL) .…”

Aim To investigate the prevalence of and factors associated with depression and anxiety in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods This prospective cross‐sectional study included patients who were consecutively enrolled in the Siriraj Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry or the Thai Army Rheumatoid Arthritis Cohort during the September 2016 to March 2018 study period. Demographic data and clinical variables, including disease activity, functional status, health‐related quality of life, and cognitive function, were collected. Depression and anxiety were assessed using the Thai version of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Thai HADS). Results Four hundred and sixty‐four patients were included. Mean age was 59 years, median disease duration was 9.9 years, and 85% of patients were female. Based on the Thai HADS cutoff value of 8 or higher, 12.5% and 14.5% of patients had some degree of depression and anxiety, respectively. Multivariate analysis revealed global health score (risk ratio [RR]: 0.98, P = .001) to be the only factor independently negatively associated with depression. Regarding anxiety, functional disability (RR: 2.46, P = .004) and married status (RR: 2.43, P = .009) were significantly associated with increased risk, whereas disease duration of 10 years or more (RR: 0.45, P = .007) and global health score (RR: 0.97, P < .001) were significantly associated with decreased risk of developing anxiety. Conclusion Depression and anxiety are common in patients with RA. Patients' perceptions of their current health are significantly related to mood disorders. Therefore, mental health status, especially mood disturbances, should be addressed in routine practice to improve quality of life in RA.

“…The internal consistency (Cronbach alpha of .927) was also comparable to Japanese (0.927), Thai (0.91), Chinese (0.86) and Korean (0.95) versions with Cronbach alpha values ranging from 0.86 to 0.95.…”

“…Although the correlations were not as strong as expected, the results indicate an adequate construct validity of Nepali HAQ with moderate association with other parameters tested. Japanese (0.92), 3 Korean (0.99) 12 and Thai (0.89) 13 versions, but it was comparable to the Tunisian (0.84), 14 Chinese (Spearman correlation 0.84) 15 and Arabic (0.81) 16 versions. For most items, the mean response in the second visit was less than the first visit which cannot be explained by treatment change but could be due to physician's suggestions on rest, hot fomentation and intake of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.…”

Objective To translate, cross‐culturally adapt and validate the Health Assessment Questionnaire‐Disability Index (HAQ‐DI) in Nepali language (Nepali HAQ). Methods Translation was done fulfilling the methodological standards described by Beaton. Comprehensibility testing of the preliminary version was done in 50 rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients, and a prefinal version was prepared after making changes in the original version to maintain the equivalence with the target version. Psychometric testing was done in another group of 127 rheumatoid patients to test for content validity and reliability. Construct validity was tested with visual analog score (VAS) and numeric rating scales (NRS) for pain and stiffness. Results Nepali HAQ was comprehensible in >95% of patients. Reliability testing showed an intraclass coefficient for overall Nepali HAQ of 0.76, ranging from 0.71 to 0.95. The internal consistency was acceptable with a Cronbach's alpha of .92. Construct validity was also acceptable with a moderate correlation between Nepali HAQ and VAS and NRS. Conclusions Nepali HAQ is a comprehensible, reliable and valid tool for evaluation of the functional status of Nepalese patients with RA and should be implemented in clinical care and research settings.

“…It is easily administered and widely used, with a high reliability and validity for a variety of rheumatic diseases, including rheumatoid arthritis (RA), ankylosing spondylitis (AS) and PsA . Although the Thai version is available, it has been validated in only patients with RA . The objective of this study was to validate the Thai version of the HAQ for patients with PsA.…”
