We analyzed the longitudinal sensitivity to change of three self-report activities of daily living (ADL) scales over 1 and 5 years in 982 patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) from 15 private practices. Over 1 year, the ADL difficulty status worsened in 28.3% of the patients, remained the same in 50.2%, and improved in 21.5%. Over 5 years, 41.3% worsened, 38.8% stayed the same, and 19.9% were improved. Similar percentages for 1- and 5-year changes were found for the ADL dissatisfaction and pain scales. The effect sizes for change over 1 and 5 years for the ADL difficulty, dissatisfaction, and pain scales were--(-)0.05, 0.01, and -0.02, and -0.28, -0.20, and -0.14, respectively, indicating small to moderate declines. These data indicate that the three ADL scales are sensitive to change in status, and ADL change status scores after 1 and 5 years were significantly correlated with each other (r = 0.49-0.68, all p < 0.001). Monitoring of these three constructs may be helpful in the longitudinal evaluation of some patients with RA.
