Functional status in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as assessed by the HAQ is poorer in the West of Scotland than the USA or elsewhere. There is a possible link with social deprivation, which is common within the Greater Glasgow Healthboard area. Our aim was to determine if differences in lifestyle could contribute to the poorer functional outcome found in socially deprived patients.
通过健康评估问卷(HAQ)评估,苏格兰西部类风湿性关节炎(RA)患者的功能状态比美国或其他地区的患者更差。这可能与社会剥夺有关,而社会剥夺在大格拉斯哥健康委员会地区很常见。我们的目的是确定生活方式的差异是否会导致社会剥夺患者功能预后较差。
