What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Impact of Adherence on Flares as Assessed by Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare Questionnaire (RA-FQ) Score at 6 Month

    Impact of adherence on flares will be assessed by RA-FQ score or the answer to question 7 of the RA-FQ (Are you having a flare?) at 6 month in participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance". RA-FQ is 10 point scale for questions 1 to 5, with score range from 0 to 10, where higher score indicates worse outcome and having option 'Yes' and 'No' for question 6 and 7. The RA-FQ total score is calculated as the sum of responses for items 1-5 (maximum 50). Higher score indicates worst outcome.

    Time frame: 6 Month

  2. Impact of Adherence on Flares as Assessed by RA-FQ Score at 12 Month

    Impact of adherence on flares will be assessed by RA-FQ score or the answer to question 7 of the RA-FQ (Are you having a flare?) at 12 month in participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance". RA-FQ is 10 point scale for questions 1 to 5, with score range from 0 to 10, where higher score indicates worse outcome and having option 'Yes' and 'No' for question 6 and 7. The RA-FQ total score is calculated as the sum of responses for items 1-5 (maximum 50). Higher score indicates worst outcome.

    Time frame: 12 Month

Secondary outcomes

  1. Percentage of Adherent Participants at 6 and 12 Months

    Percentage of adherent participants at 6 and 12 Months will be assessed.

    Time frame: Months 6 and 12

  2. Number of Participants with Corticosteroid Use

    Number of participants with corticosteroid use will be assessed among participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance" at 6 and 12 months.

    Time frame: Months 6 and 12

  3. Predicting Factors for Adherence

    Independent predictors of "predicted compliance" will be assessed with univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.

    Time frame: Months 6 and 12

  4. Number of Participants with any Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Discontinuation of Golimumab

    Number of participants with any AEs, SAEs or discontinuation of golimumab will be assessed among participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance" at 6 and 12 months and include any such event up to the previous study visit.

    Time frame: Months 6 and 12

  5. Percentage of Participants with Response to Patient Support Program Question

    Percentage of participants with response to Patient Support Program Question (Yes/No) will be assessed among participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance" at 6 and 12 months.

    Time frame: Months 6 and 12
