Inclusion Criteria
  1. Subjects with moderate to severe RA for whom the physician has decided to initiate treatment with adalimumab
  2. Adult male or female ≥ 18 years old that has been newly prescribed adalimumab therapy according to the local product label and are with PROGRESS
  3. Subjects should be evaluated for tuberculosis (TB) exposure/risk factors for active and latent TB
  4. Subject is able to give written patient authorization and is willing to comply with the requirements of this study protocol.
Exclusion Criteria
  1. Subject cannot or will not sign a patient authorization
  2. Subject with a known hypersensitivity to Adalimumab, or any of its components
  3. Presence of any condition that, in the opinion of the treating physician, prohibits the subject from participating in the study or obscures the assessment of the treatment of RA
  4. Subjects currently participating in an investigational clinical trial

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in Rheumatoid Arthritis-Work Instability Scale (RA-WIS)From Month 0 to Month 6

This is patient-reported assessment on the impact of adalimumab on the work status of RA patients.

Change in Financial LossFrom Month 0 to Month 6

This is patient reported assessment of financial burden of RA.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change in the Financial LossFrom Month 0 to Month 12, 18 and 24

This is patient reported assessment of financial burden of RA.

Change in Rheumatoid Arthritis-Work Instability (RA-WIS)From Month 0 to Month 12, 18 and 24

This is patient-reported assessment on the impact of adalimumab on the work status of RA patients.

Rate of Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) per CDAIFrom Month 0 to Month 24

The CDAI is a composite index for assessing disease activity. The total CDAI score ranges from 0 to 78 with higher scores indicating higher disease activity. LDA was defined as a score from 2.8 to ≤ 10.

Change in patient painFrom Month 0 to Month 24

Pain is assessed using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS)

Change in Swollen Joint Count (SJC)From Month 0 to Month 24

This is assessed by the physician.

Change in c-reactive protein (CRP)/erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR)From Month 0 to Month 24

CRP/ESR values are measured as an inflammatory parameter. Low CRP and ESR values mean less inflammation.

Change in Tender Joint Count (TJC)From Month 0 to Month 24

This is assessed by the physician.

Change in Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28From Month 0 to Month 24

Disease activity assessment is done by the physician.

Change in Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)From Month 0 to Month 24

This is patient reported functional assessment.

Change in patient assessment of Global Disease ActivityFrom Month 0 to Month 24

It is assessed using VAS.

Change in physician's assessment of Global Disease ActivityFrom Month 0 to Month 24

It is assessed using VAS.

Rate of Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) per Disease Activity Score (DAS) 28From Month 0 to Month 24

The DAS28 is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Scores range from 0 to 10 with LDA defined as a score from 2.6 to \< 3.2.

Rate of Remission per Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI)From Month 0 to Month 24

The SDAI is a validated measure of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Scores on the SDAI range from 0 to 86 with a SDAI score ≤3.3 indicating clinical remission.

Rate of Remission per Disease Activity Scale (DAS) 28From Month 0 to Month 24

The DAS28 is a validated index of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Scores on the DAS28 range from 0 to 10. A DAS28 score less than 2.6 indicates clinical remission.

Rate of Remission Per Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI)From Month 0 to Month 24

The CDAI is used to evaluate disease activity in patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Rate of Achieving Low Disease Activity (LDA) per SDAIFrom Month 0 to Month 24

The SDAI is a validated measure of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity. Scores on the SDAI range from 0 to 86 with a SDAI score \<11 indicating LDA.
