One hundred RA patients and 100 healthy controls paired for gender, age, and body mass index answered the FFI-BR (Foot Functional Index-Brazilian version) that evaluates foot function. RA patients had epidemiological and clinical data collection upon direct questioning and chart review. C-reactive protein (CRP), ESR (erythrocyte sedimentation rate), and DAS28-ESR were used to measure disease activity. In the RA sample, 98% had foot pain versus 76% in the controls (p |
