∗Correlations were evaluated by spearman's rank correlation coefficient. except:
^aCorrelation by Kendall’s Tau b test.
^bAgreement by Kendall’s W test.
^cAgreement by Weighted kappa.
**All data P < 0.0001, except in ^dP = 0.004 and ^eP = 0.241.
PROs: patient-reported outcomes; SJC: swollen joint count; TJC: tender joint count; DAS28: disease activity score with 28 joints; MD-Global: global assessment by visual scale analogue from physician; CDAI: clinical disease activity index; SDAI: simplified disease activity Index; RADAI: self-administered rheumatoid arthritis disease activity index; RAPID: routine assessment of patient index data; MDHAQ: multidimensional health assessment questionnaire; VAS-Pain: pain assessment by visual scale analogue; VAS-Global: global evaluated by patient in visual scale analogue.
