dc.description.abstractObjective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of pain in patients with RA in clinical remission and analyze the demographic and clinical characteristics of those who experienced persistent pain despite remission status. Methods: Data from 1,891 patients with RA registered on the Korean College of Rheumatology Biologics and Targeted Therapy registry were obtained. Remission was defined as a Disease Activity Score of 28 joints-erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) <2.6. Pain intensity was classified as severe (pain visual analog scale [VAS] ≥7), moderate (4≤VAS<7), or mild (VAS <4). Results: Our analysis showed that 52.6% of patients complained of severe pain at the start of or during switching biological disease- modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) or targeted synthetic DMARDs (tsDMARDs). Despite having a 36.0% (n=680) remission rate after the use of bDMARDs or tsDMARDs at their 1-year follow-up, 21.5% (n=146) of these patients had moderateto- severe pain, higher frequency of foot erosions, and comorbidities, such as mental illness, endocrine, renal, and neurological disorders, than patients with a milder degree of pain. The multivariable regression analysis showed that presence of foot erosions, neurological disorders, and use of corticosteroids were independently associated with moderate-to-severe pain in patients with RA despite being in remission. The level of ESR and use of Janus kinase inhibitors were inversely associated with moderate-to-severe pain. Conclusion: Persistent pain and discomfort continue to be a problem for patients with RA in clinical remission. Continued research on insistent pain in patients with RA is warranted to better alleviate distress and improve the quality of life in patients. © 2022 by the Author(s).-
