aHAQ-DI scores range from 0 to 3, with lower scores indicating improvements in physical function. bFAS scores range from 0 to 10, with lower scores indicating less fatigue. cScores for patient’s assessment of arthritis pain range from 0 to 100 mm, with lower scores indicating relief in arthritis pain. dRange is 0–30 (in past month). eRange is 0–30 (in past month) and does not include days counted in previous question. fRange is 0–10, where 0 indicates no interference and 10 indicates complete interference.
