Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Impact of Adherence on Flares as Assessed by Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare Questionnaire (RA-FQ) Score at 6 Month6 Month

Impact of adherence on flares will be assessed by RA-FQ score or the answer to question 7 of the RA-FQ (Are you having a flare?) at 6 month in participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance". RA-FQ is 10 point scale for questions 1 to 5, with score range from 0 to 10, where higher score indicates worse outcome and having option 'Yes' and 'No' for question 6 and 7. The RA-FQ total score is calculated as the sum of responses for items 1-5 (maximum 50). Higher score indicates worst outcome.

Impact of Adherence on Flares as Assessed by RA-FQ Score at 12 Month12 Month

Impact of adherence on flares will be assessed by RA-FQ score or the answer to question 7 of the RA-FQ (Are you having a flare?) at 12 month in participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance". RA-FQ is 10 point scale for questions 1 to 5, with score range from 0 to 10, where higher score indicates worse outcome and having option 'Yes' and 'No' for question 6 and 7. The RA-FQ total score is calculated as the sum of responses for items 1-5 (maximum 50). Higher score indicates worst outcome.
