The patients were given the RAID quality of life questionnaire to complete before starting the treatment and after 4 months. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to determine the association between patients' clinical and sociodemographic characteristics and quality of life improvement. The level of significance was set at 0.05.Results Forty-six patients were included. Their ratings in the RAID questionnaire were improved after 4 months of treatment, both in the final overall total, which improved by 1.63±2.29 points, and in the different subtopics of the questionnaire (range 0–10). Pain was the domain that improved the most (2.33±2.82 points), followed by functional disability (2.15±2.51) and physical well-being (1.96±3.18). The improvement was statistically significant in all domains except the sleep score, which showed no statistically significant difference between the two time points analysed.Conclusions Advanced antirheumatic treatment improves the quality of life of patients after 4 months of treatment.All data relevant to the study are included in the article or uploaded as supplementary information.
