Table 6. Factors influencing the discordance score—Multivariate analysis.

Variables	Negative discordance (PtGA-PhGA) < (-3.0) Physician’s higher than patient’s		Positive discordance (PtGA-PhGA) > (+3.0) Physician’s lower than patient’s
	OR (95% CI)	P-value	OR (95% CI)	P-value
Pain Scale	1.00 (0.99; 1.01)	0.854	1.02 (1.01; 1.02)	<0.001
NSJ (0 to 28)	1.12 (1.04; 1.18)	<0.001	0.85 (0.80; 0.91)	<0.001
NTJ (0 to 28)	1.03 (1.00; 1.06)	0.155	0.97 (0.94; 0.9995)	0.046
HAQ-DI	1.18 (0.79; 1.76)	0.428	1.90 (1.51; 2.38)	<0.001

NSJ = number of swollen joints; NTJ = number of tender joints; ESR = erythrocyte sedimentation rate; HAQ-DI: Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index
