Abstract

Objective To identify the effect of attending a cognitive-behavioural arthritis education programme on the health status of participants with newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared with a control group. Design Randomized controlled trial. Setting Hospital based. Subjects Newly diagnosed with RA. Intervention Participation in either a cognitive-behavioural arthritis education programme or a standard arthritis education programme (control group). Sessions for both groups lasted for 2 hours per week for four weeks. Subjects were examined at home by an assessor blinded to group allocation, prior to and three and six months following attendance. Outcome measures The main outcome measure was the Physical Function subscale of the Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale Two. Other outcome measures included erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), joint count scores, assessments of pain and psychological status. Results Fifty-four subjects (mean time since diagnosis 4.5 months) took part. Baseline analysis revealed that the control group had significantly better levels of functional ability (U = 185; p = 0.009) and lower levels of helplessness (U = 168; p = 0.002) prior to intervention. This difference remained unchanged three months later. Six months following the intervention no significant differences were noted between the groups for any measure of health status. There were no significant changes in health status over time in either group. Conclusion Attending a cognitive-beha…

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.
