The DYNHA® Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Impact Survey is a brief, multi-item, computerized-adaptive assessment of the impact
of rheumatoid arthritis on an individual's life. It surpasses traditional measures of disability associated with a
specific disease by assessing relevant aspects of functional health and well-being (including physical, social and psychological domains)
as it assesses the level of impact that RA has on a patient's physical functioning, social/role participation, ability to engage in
recreational and leisure activities, psychological distress/well-being, and vitality.
The DYNHA RA Impact Survey is a patient-reported assessment that that:
- Is precise, reliable, and well-documented
- Is fast to complete and score
- Covers the full range of rheumatoid arthritis impact
- Can be used to measure changes over time beyond pain relief (product marketing)
- Is easy for clinicians and patients to interpret
The DYNHA RA Impact Survey includes:
- A computer adaptive battery that draws on 37 items in an item pool selected to capture the effect
of rheumatoid arthritis, its symptoms, and its treatment on an individual's functional status and well
being
- An optional battery that captures patient-reported information of disease activity, daily activity limitations,
medications, and treatment satisfaction
Online delivery of the disease impact battery survey uses QualityMetric's DYNHA computer-adaptive software to
select and score only those items required to calculate a precise score for the individual. While the software offers a
unique short-form survey for each respondent, all items have been calibrated on the same metric, enabling patients to compare
their own disease impact scores over time and clinicians to compare scores across patients and over time.
