Agreement between patient-reported flares and clinically significant flare status in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in sustained remission: data from the ARCTIC REWIND trials by Désirée van der Heijde, Gunnstein Bakland, Åse Lexberg, Lena Bugge Nordberg, Siri Lillegraven, Anna-Birgitte Aga, Joseph Sexton, Till Uhlig, Espen A Haavardsholm, Karen Holten, Daniel H Solomon, Ellen Moholt, Hallvard Fremstad, Hilde Haukeland, Nina Paulshus Sundlisæter, Cristina Spada, Kaja E Kjørholt, Christian A Høili, Tor Magne Madland, Inger Johanne Widding Hansen, Inger Myrnes Hansen, Maud-Kristine Aga Ljoså

“…A clinically significant flare was defined as a combination of Disease Activity Score (DAS) >1.6, increase in DAS of ≥0.6 and 2 swollen joints, or the rheumatologist and patient agreed that a clinically significant flare had occurred. Agreement coefficient, sensitivity, specificity and predictive values of patient-reported flare status with regard to clinically significant flare status were determined.Results Of 248 patients, 64% were women, age 56.1 (11.8) years, disease duration 4.1 (2.8–7.4) years, DAS 0.8 (0.3). 35% of patients reported a flare at least once, clinically significant flares were recorded in 21%. 48/53 clinically significant flares (91%) led to an intensification of disease-modifying antirheumatic drugss. …”
