METHODS: We recruited people with RA from an online patient community (n=200) and three academic medical centers (n=84) in the US.

Descriptive statistics were calculated, and associations were evaluated using Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients. RESULTS: Mean SF scores were similar (p≥0.61) among clinic patients reflecting mild fatigue (i.e., 54.5–55.9), but were significantly higher (p
