Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the relevance of the Rheumatoid Arthritis Impact of Disease (RAID) score as a disease activity marker of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in a teleconsultation setting.
Methods: A prospective, observational, 24-month, single-center study involving patients with RA who underwent teleconsultations was performed. The RAID score was sent to all patients by email and completed the day before the scheduled session. The RAID questionnaire was also completed just prior to the next scheduled face-to-face consultation. The same physician performed teleconsultation/in-person consultations and was unaware of the RAID results.
Results: We included 70 patients (mean age 50 [SD 14] yrs, mean disease duration 10 [SD 9] yrs). The RAID score correlated with the following items: patient global assessment (r 0.55, P < 0.001), patient-reported swollen joint count (r 0.50, P < 0.001), and Disease Activity Score in 28 joints based on C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) calculated with patient self-reported tender/swollen joints (r 0.74, P < 0.001). The RAID score completed during the next face-to-face consultation for 45 patients also correlated with the DAS28-CRP performed by the clinician (r 0.65, P < 0.001). A RAID score > 2 was associated with the best combination of sensitivity (94%) and specificity (43%) for the indication of rapid in-person consultation because of insufficiently controlled disease activity, with an area under the curve of 0.74. All 23 patients with RAID < 2 had no intercurrent flares; overall physician global assessment was 1.6 of 10 (SD 1.4), DAS28-CRP 1.5 (SD 0.2), and CRP 1.8 (SD 1.4) mg/L.
Conclusion: Our findings reinforce the RAID score as a valuable tool in teleconsultation, exhibiting a good correlation with disease activity variables. Using a RAID score threshold of 2 during teleconsultations could distinguish patients with good disease control and those with the potential need for an in-person visit.
