AnnotationAssessment and monitoring of outcomes for a chronic disease such as rheumatoid arthritis, with its multiple stages, variable course, and inexorable progression poses particular difficulties. This book provides a comprehensive overview on how to assess the outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis care, from the perspectives of researcher, patient and clinician. It tells how to search the literature on measurement of outcome and evidence of effectiveness, with special emphasis on measurement of impairment, functional status, handicap and combined measures.
