Fodproblemer og leddegigt
Foot problems in people with rheumatoid arthritis, prevalence and validation of a patient-reported outcome measure
Opstart
June 2019
Baggrund/formål
The aim of this study was twofold:
- To study the validity and reliability of the SEFAS in people with RA and foot problems (non- surgical referral).
- To study the prevalence of self-reported foot problems in people with RA attending a specialist rheumatology clinic in Denmark.
Metode/gennemførelse
300 patients with an RA diagnosis and over the age of 18 years attending the Danish Hospital for Rheumatic diseases will be consecutively enrolled in the study.
Validity and reliability of the SEFAS will be studied according to the COSMIN guidelines, and in this project, face, content, construct and structural validity together with internal consistency and test-retest reliability will be assessed. The prevalence of foot problems will be studied in a cross-sectional study. Physician reported data (swollen/tender 12-joint foot count, DAS28, medication), and patient reported data (pain, physical function, global health and SEFAS) are assessed during a clinical visit to study the prevalence of foot problems.
