What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Short Form Instruments (social aspect) and Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale (social interaction) were used as outcome measures to assess the social participation according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health

    We evaluated 81 individuals in a single meeting with the SF-36 and AIMS2, each participant was assessed for 2 hours. The revised AIMS2 comprises five main dimensions. The score of each AIMS scale varies from zero to 10 (a score of 10 indicates the worst state of health). The SF-36 is a generic instrument that assesses quality of life and comprises eight dimensions. The SF-36 final score varies from zero to 100 in each of the eight dimensions (a score of 100 represents the best state of health).

    Measured: June 2009 to August 2010

The Short Form Instruments (social aspect) and Arthritis Impact Measurement Scale (social interaction) were used as outcome measures to assess the social participation according to the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (time frame: June 2009 to August 2010). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
