“…Based on available resources and rules of thumb, a total of 200 patients (50 in each city, male to female = 1:2) were planned to recruit. The inclusion criteria were: (1) Informed and voluntary; (2) 18–70 years (Considering the challenges and precision involved in questionnaire completion by older adults, previous research protocols 26 , and available resources); (3) Diagnosed with RA according to the 2010 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) classification diagnostic criteria (score ≥ 6) 27 . The exclusion criteria were: (1) Pregnant women, individuals with psychiatric disease, and patients who were unconscious and unable to feedback their condition; (2) Patients suffering from other serious diseases such as tumors, myocardial infarct.…”

To assess the health utility value (HUV) of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) patients and its influencing factors in China. A cross-sectional survey was conducted in 8 tertiary hospitals across four capital-cities. The demographic characteristics, patient-reported outcomes including the HUV got by EQ-5D-5L, clinical characteristics, and clinician-reported outcomes of 171 RA patients were collected both from themselves and their physicians. Both the univariate and multivariate analyses were used to assess the potential factors of EQ-5D-5L HUV of the patients. The mean age of the patients was 50.7 years, with female being 64.9% (n = 111). The mean HUV and EQ visual analogue scale score of all patients were 0.586 and 47.3, respectively. The univariate analysis showed that the patients who were female, older, living in rural areas, with lower education level, advanced disease stage, higher the patient's assessment of arthritis pain visual analogue scale (PtAAP-VAS), the patient's global assessment of disease activity visual analogue scale (PtGADA-VAS), and the Physician’s global assessment of disease activity visual analogue scale (PhGADA-VAS) scores had significantly lower EQ-5D-5L HUVs. The multivariate analysis further suggested that older age, female, higher body mass index and higher PtGADA-VAS score were statistically significantly related to lower HUVs. The study provided the HUVs for RA patients with different characteristics and outcomes, which could be used in the economic evaluation of interventions for the RA patients. The identified factors could also assist the health care managing and improving the health-related quality of life on RA patients.
