The purpose of this study is to determine in Australia what effect rheumatoid arthritis has on quality of life, and also to determine the costs that are associated with having rheumatoid arthritis.
At a routine visit to the clinic, patients will be asked to answer questions about their symptoms, have a routine examination by the doctor, fill out a questionnaire that will ask questions about them, about their arthritis, about how it affects their well being and quality of life, and about treatment and costs. The questionnaire will take them about 30 minutes to complete. A blood test may also be required. This ends the patient's involvement with the study.
