AB1795-HPR COXITIS IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: IS THERE ANY CORRELATION BETWEEN CATASTROPHIZING AND FUNCTIONAL DISABILITY?

Background Coxitis is a marker of severity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) since it associated with functional disability. Therefore, leads to loss autonomy significant psychological impact. Objectives We aimed assess the correlation between catastrophizing and disability coxitis. Methods conducted cross-sectional study including patients RA (2010 ACR/EULAR criteria). Clinical, biological radiological data were collected. activity was assessed using Disease Activity Score (DAS 28 ESR). The quality life Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ). Hip function Lequesne algofunctional index (IAF). Catastrophizing evaluated by Pain Scale (PCS), which composed 13 items. PCS total score varies from 0 (no catastrophizing) 52 (significant tendency catastrophizing). IAF Spearman test. Results included 80 (76 women 4 men) an average age 47±12 years [37-77]. at diagnosis 29±7.5 years. mean disease duration 11±6.2 erosive 90% cases. Rheumatoid factor anti-citrullinated peptides antibodies positive 83% 85% cases, respectively. Seventy-five percent on corticosteroids dose 10 mg per day Prednisone equivalent.
