Abstract

Objective To describe the association between morning stiffness (MS) and early retirement in patients with early RA. Methods The study used data from a prospective RA cohort of 916 RA patients with disease duration Results MS was strongly associated with pain and functional capacity and to a lesser degree with joint counts and active phase responses. Severe MS in early disease had a significant impact on early retirement within the following 3 yrs. Of the 389 patients who were Conclusions Severe MS in the early course of the disease has a high impact on RA patients' decision to withdraw from working life. Great attention should be paid to the effective treatment of MS in early RA, to prevent patients from possible untimely decisions that will have long-lasting and costly consequences.

Morning stiffness assessment is a widely used marker of functional disability in rheumatoid arthritis and reflects disease activity more than traditional markers of inflammation like joint counts.
“This assessment of morning stiffness is a widely used marker of functional disability in RA and reflects disease activity more than do traditional markers of inflammation like joint counts (Westhoff, Buttgereit, Gromnica-Ihle, & Zink, 2008).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
