| Popis: | Newly diagnosed arthritis patients who met ARA criteria for probable, definite or classical RA were matched on study entry to normal controls and earnings were compared both before and after onset of arthritis in the study groups. Significant differences were found in earnings of the ARA probable patients versus either their normal controls or definite patients, with the probable patients having earned significantly more than each of the other groups. The data are consistent with an hypothesis that milder arthritis manifestations may relate to increased striving as suggested by increased earnings of patients satisfying ARA criteria for only probable RA. The definite-classical patients had similar earnings to their controls pre-onset but decreased earnings after onset of disease and significantly less likelihood of having an earnings increase after onset of arthritis. |
