Structural equation modeling. Structural equation modeling (SEM) on the impact of neuropathic pain on disease activity and psychology. BASDAI and ASDAS-CRP were used as the disease activity index, and HAD-A and HAD-D were used as the psychological index. SEM was successfully established (probability level = 0.227; ratio of Chi-square to degree of freedom [CMIN/DF] = 1.413; comparative fit index [CFI] = 0.996; normed fit index [NFI] = 0.987; and root mean squared error of approximation [RMSEA] = 0.048). According to SEM, PDQ could alter the disease activity (β = 0.62, P < 0.001), and the disease activity could influence the psychological status (β = 0.42, P < 0.001)
