UNLABELLED: There is strong evidence from clinical trials that a 'treat to target' strategy is effective in reaching remission in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, the question is whether these results can be translated into daily clinical practice and clinical remission is a reachable target indeed. OBJECTIVE: The study aims to investigate whether in early RA a treatment strategy aiming at Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28 <2.6 is more effective than 'usual care' treatment for reaching clinical remission after 1 year. METHODS: Two early RA inception cohorts from two different regions including patients who fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology criteria for RA were compared. Patients in the tight-control cohort (n=126) were treated according to a DAS28-driven step-up treatment strategy starting with methotrexate, addition of sulphasalazine (SSZ) and exchange of SSZ by anti-tumour necrosis factor in case of failure. Patients in the usual-care cohort (n=126) were treated with methotrexate or SSZ, without DAS28-guided treatment decisions. The primary outcome was the percentage remission (DAS28<2.6) at 1 year. Time to first remission and change in DAS28 were secondary outcomes. RESULTS: After 1 year, 55% of tight-control patients had a DAS28<2.6 versus 30% of usual care patients (OR 3.1, 95% CI 1.8 to 5.2). The median time to first remission was 25 weeks for tight control and more than 52 weeks for usual care (p<0.0001). The DAS28 decreased with -2.5 in tight control and -1.5 in usual care (p<0.0001). CONCLUSION: In early RA, a tight control treatment strategy aiming for remission leads to more rapid DAS28 remission and higher percentages of remission after 1 year than does a usual care treatment.

OBJECTIVE: To compare categories for activity/severity according to the Disease Activity Score 28-joint count (DAS28), the Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), and the Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3), an index without formal joint counts calculated in 5 versus >100 seconds, as well as the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)- DAS28 and the RAPID3 response criteria, in the Rheumatoid Arthritis Prevention of Structural Damage (RAPID 1) clinical trial of certolizumab pegol (CZP). METHODS: Post hoc analyses were performed using correlations, cross-tabulations, and kappa statistics. Patients (treated with CZP plus methotrexate [MTX] or placebo plus MTX) were classified at baseline and at 52 weeks as high, moderate, low activity/severity or remission, according to the DAS28 (>5.1, >3.2 to ≤5.1, 2.6 to ≤3.2, <2.6 [total range 0-10]), the CDAI (>22, >10 to ≤22, >2.8 to ≤10, ≤2.8 [total range 0-76]), and RAPID3 (>12, >6 to ≤12, >3 to ≤6, ≤3 [total range 0-30]), as well as for good, moderate, and poor EULAR-DAS28 and proposed RAPID3 response criteria. RESULTS: All measures were correlated significantly: RAPID3 with DAS28 and CDAI (rho > 0.7), higher than erythrocyte sedimentation rate with C-reactive protein level (rho = 0.47). At 52 weeks, DAS28, CDAI, and RAPID3 low activity/remission was seen in 30%, 44%, and 42% of CZP-treated patients versus 3%, 7%, and 10% of control patients. Good, moderate, and poor EULAR-DAS28 responses were seen in 30%, 51%, and 19% of CZP-treated patients versus 3%, 28%, and 70% of control patients, and for RAPID3 in 39%, 30%, and 32% of CZP-treated patients versus 8%, 16%, and 76% of control patients. Kappa and weighted kappa values ranged from 0.36-0.53, indicating fair to moderate agreement. CONCLUSION: RAPID3, DAS28, and CDAI give similar results to distinguish CZP patients from controls in the RAPID 1 clinical trial. DAS28 is specific for clinical trials; RAPID3 appears pragmatically useful for usual care.

OBJECTIVES: To compare the efficacy of disease activity score in 28 joints (DAS28ESR)-driven therapy with anti-tumour necrosis factor (patients from the GUEPARD trial) and routine care in patients with recent-onset rheumatoid arthritis (patients of the ESPOIR cohort). RESULTS: After matching GUEPARD and ESPOIR patients on the basis of a propensity score and a 1:2 ratio, at baseline all patients had comparable demographic characteristics, rheumatoid factor, anticyclic citrullinated peptide antibody positivity and clinical disease activity parameters: erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C-reactive protein, mean DAS (6.26±0.87), Sharp/van der Heijde radiographic score (SHS), health assessment questionnaire (HAQ). Disease duration was longer in GUEPARD patients (5.6±4.6 vs 3.5±2.0 months, p<0.001). After 1 year, the percentage of patients in remission with an HAQ (<0.5) and an absence of radiological progression was higher in the tight control group (32.3% vs 10.2%, p=0.011) as well as the percentage of patients in low DAS with an HAQ (<0.5) and an absence of radiological progression (36.1% vs 18.9%, p=0.045). However, there was no difference in the decrease in DAS, nor in the percentage of EULAR (good and moderate), ACR20, ACR50 and ACR70 responses. More patients in the tight control group had an HAQ below 0.5 (70.2% vs 45.2%, p=0.005). Overall, pain, patient and physician assessment and fatigue decreased more in the tight control group. The mean SHS progression was similar in the two groups as was the percentage of patients without progression. CONCLUSIONS: In patients with recent onset active rheumatoid arthritis, a tight control of disease activity allows more patients to achieve remission without disability and radiographic progression.

OBJECTIVE: To compare the Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) on a Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ) with the Disease Activity Score (DAS28), Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI), and individual core data set measures for correlations, agreement of activity levels, and time to score. METHODS: Four rheumatologists each assessed 50 patients with rheumatoid arthritis in "real-time" clinical care. Patients completed an MDHAQ. The rheumatologist then calculated RAPID3 (physical function, pain, patient global estimate), performed a 28-joint count, assigned a physician global estimate, and scored a CDAI, each timed by an observer. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) was tested on the same date, and the DAS28-ESR was computed later, again timed by an observer. Spearman's rank-order correlations and comparisons of patients classified as high activity, moderate activity, low activity, and remission according to the DAS28, CDAI, and RAPID3 were computed and compared with kappa statistics. A second study of 25 "paper patients" was also performed to compare time to score the DAS28, CDAI, and RAPID3 on a 0-10 versus 0-30 scale. Mean and median times to score each index were computed. RESULTS: The 3 indices were correlated significantly, including agreement for >80% of patients for high/moderate activity. The mean time to perform a 28-joint count was 94 seconds, and the mean times to score the DAS28, CDAI, RAPID3 on a 0-10 scale, and RAPID3 on a 0-30 scale were 114, 106, 9.6, and 4.6 seconds, respectively. CONCLUSION: RAPID3 scores provide similar quantitative information to DAS28 and CDAI, while calculated on a 0-30 scale in about 5% of the time.

Objectives. To analyse the capacity of routine assessment of patient index data 3 (RAPID3), an index of only the three patient‐reported outcome (PRO) measures in the RA Core Data Set ‐ physical function, pain and global status ‐ to distinguish abatacept from control treatments in two clinical trials, and to compare RAPID3 results with the disease activity score 28 (DAS28) and RAPID‐based indices that add a tender or swollen joint count and/or physician/assessor global estimate of status. Methods. Clinical trial data from AIM (Abatacept in Inadequate responseto Methotrexate) and ATTAIN [Abatacept Trial in Treatment of Anti‐tumor necrosis factor (anti‐TNF) INadequate responders] were reanalysed. Mean values were computed at baseline, endpoint and for change between baseline and endpoint for RAPID3, DAS28 and additional RAPID indices to study whether they had greater capacity to distinguish abatacept from control therapy. RAPID4TJC adds to RAPID3 a tender joint count; RAPID4SJC, a swollen joint count; RAPID4MD, a physician/assessor global estimate; and RAPID5 adds both a tender joint count and physician/ assessor global estimate. RAPID2 includes only physician/assessor and patient global estimates. Results. All indices indicated significant differences of 19‐28% between abatacept and control groups. Results were similar for RAPID3 of only patient measures, compared to DAS28 and other RAPID‐based indices. Conclusion. A RAPID3 'patient‐only' index, without a joint count or any measure from a health professional or laboratory, distinguishes active from control treatments in two abatacept clinical trials, at levels similar to DAS28 and to other RAPID‐based indices that add physician‐reported measures. © 2008 The Author(s).

OBJECTIVE: To compare 4 categories (high, moderate, and low severity, and near-remission) of RAPID3 (Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3), an index without formal joint counts, which is scored in < 10 seconds to 4 categories of the Disease Activity Score (DAS28) and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS: All patients complete a Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire (MDHAQ) at each visit. A physician/assessor 28-joint count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were completed in 285 patients with RA in usual care by 3 rheumatologists to score DAS28, CDAI, and RAPID3. RAPID3 includes the 3 MDHAQ patient self-report RA Core Data Set measures for physical function, pain, and patient global estimate. Proposed RAPID3 (range 0-10) severity categories of high (> 4), moderate (2.01-4), low (1.01-2), and near-remission (< or = 1) were compared to DAS (0-10) activity categories of high (> 5.1), moderate (3.21-5.1), low (2.61-3.2), and remission (< or = 2.6), and CDAI (0-76) categories of > 22, 10.1-22.0, 2.9-10.0, and < or = 2.8. Additional RAPID scores, which add to RAPID3 a physician/assessor or patient self-report joint count and/or assessor global estimate, were also analyzed. Statistical significance was analyzed using Spearman correlations, cross-tabulations, and kappa statistics. RESULTS: All RAPID scores were correlated significantly with DAS28 and CDAI (rho > 0.65, p < 0.001). Overall, 78%-84% of patients who met DAS28 or CDAI moderate/high activity criteria met similar RAPID severity criteria, and 68%-77% who met DAS28 or CDAI remission/low activity criteria also met similar RAPID criteria. RAPID3 was as informative as other indices. CONCLUSION: RAPID3 provides a feasible, informative quantitative index for busy clinical settings.
