An increase in patient global assessment (PGA), a variable showing the patient's self-evaluation of their disease activity, may alone tilt a patient out of remission when using certain remission-assessing methods. This study aimed to explore differences in remission rates among various formulas and the impact of PGA and other clinical variables on the calculation of remission.<h4>Methods</h4>Data were collected from RA patients monitored during the years 2015-2019 at an outpatient clinic in southern Norway. Linear and logistic regression assessed associations between PGA, other RA-related variables, and remission-assessing methods.<h4>Results</h4>RemisRheumatology and therapy1531-1547https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9561477biostudies-literatureRemission or Not Remission, That's the Question: Shedding Light on Remission and the Impact of Objective and Subjective Measures Reflecting Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis.PMC9561477Haugeberg GLosinska KKorkosz MBrkic APripp AHfalseRemission or Not Remission, That's the Question: Shedding Light on Remission and the Impact of Objective and Subjective Measures Reflecting Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis.<h4>Introduction</h4>The inclusion of certain variables in remission formulas for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) may give rise to discrepancies.
