“…In present study there were highly significance difference (P<0.000) in rheumatoid arthritis cases. This agree with Salaffi, et al, (12) . Among several autoantibodies described in recent years in patients with RA, synthetic cyclic peptides containing citrulline CCP antibodies has been proposed as a new biomarker of disease severity .…”

Objective: To investigate the relationship between quality of life (QOL), Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (Anti-CCP)and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods:200 patients with RA were included in the study. Data were obtained by questionnaires and laboratory investigation, which included several generic and disease related QOL instruments. Separate dimensions and physical and mental summary scores of the Short form Health survey (SF-36) and Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) were compared to study the relationship between clinical and laboratory parameters with QOL, (Anti-CCP)and other disease related variables. Results: Physical health related QOL was reported to be worse, and mental health related QOL better, in RA than in control. There was highly significant association between Disease Activity Score (DAS-28)and Anti-CCP value (p <0.0001) comparing with control group. There were significance difference(P<0.05) about (HAQ) andSF-36 comparing with control. Conclusions: RA has a significant effect on the health related qualityof life of patients. The disease duration was the most influencing factor on both the physical and mental function. Routine assessment of the HRQoL in those patients is recommended to detect and monitor the impact of the disease and its medications on different aspects.And a highly significant correlation was found between Anti-CCP value and disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

“…Our results also suggest that additional studies are needed to further define the sensitivity and specificity of the physical examination maneuvers, as these results suggest they may not be high.

BackgroundThe validation of widely used scales facilitates the comparison across international patient samples. The objective of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Simple Shoulder Test into Brazilian Portuguese. Also we test the stability of factor analysis across different cultures.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to translate, culturally adapt and validate the Simple Shoulder Test into Brazilian Portuguese. Also we test the stability of factor analysis across different cultures.MethodsThe Simple Shoulder Test was translated from English into Brazilian Portuguese, translated back into English, and evaluated for accuracy by an expert committee. It was then administered to 100 patients with shoulder conditions. Psychometric properties were analyzed including factor analysis, internal reliability, test-retest reliability at seven days, and construct validity in relation to the Short Form 36 health survey (SF-36).ResultsFactor analysis demonstrated a three factor solution. Cronbach’s alpha was 0.82. Test-retest reliability index as measured by intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC) was 0.84. Associations were observed in the hypothesized direction with all subscales of SF-36 questionnaire.ConclusionThe Simple Shoulder Test translation and cultural adaptation to Brazilian-Portuguese demonstrated adequate factor structure, internal reliability, and validity, ultimately allowing for its use in the comparison with international patient samples.
