Title: Patient Outcomes, Preferences, and Attitudes Poster III

Session Type: ACR Poster Session C

Session Time: 9:00AM-11:00AM

Background/Purpose:   To investigate relationships between painDETECT (PDQ), neuropathic pain screening tool, and patient-reported outcomes measurement information system (PROMIS) 29 in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).  

Methods: For rheumatoid arthritis (RA) subjects enrolled in the University of Pittsburgh Rheumatoid Arthritis Comparative Effectiveness Registry (RACER), a cross-sectional analysis was performed for all RACER patients who completed PDQ and PROMIS29 short form. Association between PDQ and PROMIS29 was evaluated by Spearman¡¯s correlation coefficient. Multiple regression models were conducted for PROMIS29 domain scores, adjusting for age, gender, race, RA disease activity measured by clinical disease activity index (CDAI). Analysis of variance and pairwise comparisons for adjusted scores were performed among PDQ classifications and standardized mean differences were calculated to assess the magnitude of effect.

Results:   For the 302 subjects analyzed, age was 63.8 +/- 12.4 (mean +/- SD) years with disease duration of 18.4 +/-11.9 years. PDQ score was moderately correlated with pain severity (current, average pain for the past week, and past month, rho =0.52, 0.60, 0.56, p <0.001, respectively). PROMIS29 scores showed poorer physical function, participation in social role and higher depression, anxiety, fatigue, and sleep disturbance across PDQ classifications from nociceptive (N=225,74.7%) to transitional (45,14.9%) to neuropathic pain group (N=31,10.3%) (Figure 1 and 2). Pairwise comparisons of PDQ classifications for adjusted PROMIS29 domain scores showed significantly worse health status for neuropathic pain group relative to both nociceptive and transitional group (Table).

Conclusion:   Mapping the relationships between PDQ and PROMIS29 domains showed classifications by PDQ of nociceptive, transitional and neuropathic pain are characterized by overall decremental health status measured by PROMIS29. These data support the PDQ score as a possible treatment outcome measure and its use in RA management.

Table. Pairwise comparison of PROMIS29 domain scores across painDETECT classifications (Noci: Nociceptive, Tr: Transitional, NeP: Neuropathic, SMD: standardized mean difference, PFA: physical function, ANX: anxiety, DEP: depression, FTG: fatigue, SLP: sleep disturbance, SRP: Abilities to participate in social role, PIN: pain interference)

All abstracts accepted to ACR Convergence are under media embargo once the ACR has notified presenters of their abstract’s acceptance. They may be presented at other meetings or published as manuscripts after this time but should not be discussed in non-scholarly venues or outlets. The following embargo policies are strictly enforced by the ACR.

Accepted abstracts are made available to the public online in advance of the meeting and are published in a special online supplement of our scientific journal, Arthritis & Rheumatology. Information contained in those abstracts may not be released until the abstracts appear online. In an exception to the media embargo, academic institutions, private organizations, and companies with products whose value may be influenced by information contained in an abstract may issue a press release to coincide with the availability of an ACR abstract on the ACR website. However, the ACR continues to require that information that goes beyond that contained in the abstract (e.g., discussion of the abstract done as part of editorial news coverage) is under media embargo until 10:00 AM ET on November 14, 2024. Journalists with access to embargoed information cannot release articles or editorial news coverage before this time. Editorial news coverage is considered original articles/videos developed by employed journalists to report facts, commentary, and subject matter expert quotes in a narrative form using a variety of sources (e.g., research, announcements, press releases, events, etc.).

Violation of this policy may result in the abstract being withdrawn from the meeting and other measures deemed appropriate. Authors are responsible for notifying colleagues, institutions, communications firms, and all other stakeholders related to the development or promotion of the abstract about this policy. If you have questions about the ACR abstract embargo policy, please contact ACR abstracts staff at [email protected].
