To determine the comparability of a text to a mannequin format for the assessment of joint counts (JC) among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) participating in a randomized clinical trial (RCT).
A subgroup of patients participating in the MIRA (Minocycline in RA) RCT completed self-administered JC and joint scores (JS), which were compared to those of a trained assessor.
JC and JS data were consistently higher for the patient than for the assessor. Higher correlations were obtained for JC than for JS.
Our data suggest JC can be used in the context of clinical trials or in the clinical setting, but are not interchangeable with trained assessor JC.
确定在一项随机临床试验(RCT)中,文本形式与人体模型形式用于评估类风湿关节炎(RA)患者关节计数(JC)的可比性。
参与米诺环素治疗类风湿关节炎(MIRA)RCT的一组患者完成了自我管理的JC和关节评分(JS),并与经过培训的评估者所做的进行比较。
患者的JC和JS数据始终高于评估者。JC的相关性高于JS。
我们的数据表明,JC可用于临床试验或临床环境中,但与经过培训的评估者的JC不可互换。
