PLOS ONE, Aug 2023 Background Established assessment tools for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), including disease activity scores (DASs), disease activity indexes (DAIs), visual analog scales (VASs), and health assessment questionnaires (HAQs), are widely used. However, comparative associations between joint involvement and disease status assessment tools have rarely been investigated. Methods We included a dataset of 4016 patients from a large RA cohort from 2012 to 2019.
