Abstract:
The article is a comparative analysis of the quality of life indicators of patients with rheumatoid arthritis with similar indicators in the Moscow population. We conducted a survey of patients in the register of rheumatoid patients in Moscow using the EQ-5D-5L questionnaire and the EQ-VAS visual analog scale. The population of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, in accordance with the recommendations of EuroQoL, was divided into 6 age and sex groups. The responses of patients from each age and sex group were compared with similar groups of respondents in the Moscow population. Key differences in the quality of life of rheumatoid patients were identified in comparison with both the population norm in Moscow and similar foreign registries.
