| DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT | |
| Type Of Measure | Questionnaire |
| Brief Description |
Severity of MJS, is a single-item PROs designed to capture the severity of MJS experienced that day, respectively. Patient’s were asked to complete each at the end of their day. |
| Number of Items | 1 |
| Range | 0-10 |
| Responses options/scale |
No |
| Developed for | Clinical practice, Research |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | Online/Mail based |
| Recommendations to score |
Patients were asked: “Please rate the overall level of morning joint stiffness you had from the time you woke up today.” It is anchored at 0 and 10, where 0 represents “no joint stiffness,” and 10 represents “joint stiffness as bad as you can imagine". |
