Limited Health Literacy and Patient Confusion About Rheumatoid Arthritis Patient Global Assessments and Model Disease States
Abstract
Patient global assessment visual analog scales (PGA‐VAS) are widely used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) practice and research, and low PGA‐VAS scores are required for remission. Vulnerable patients with RA may have difficulty completing the PGA‐VAS. There is limited information about both patients’ perceptions of PGA‐VAS and how patients score VAS model disease states. The objective of this study was to understand the perspectives of vulnerable patients regarding PGA‐VAS and model disease states.
