To evaluate the positive predictive value (PPV) of three case definitions of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) based on self-reported data on RA diagnosis and use of arthritis medications and to determine if a validated screening survey would increase the PPVs in the three groups. Medical records and physician-checklists were reviewed for confirmation of a RA diagnosis among a sample of Black Women's Health Study participants who reported incident RA and were categorized according to reported medications: disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs) (N=102), non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (N=100), and no arthritis medications (No Meds) (N=101). PPVs for confirmed RA were calculated for each of the medication groups, overall and according to results of the screening survey. The PPV of confirmed RA was 76%, 61%, and 29% in the DMARDs group, NSAIDs group, and No Meds group, respectively. After exclusion of women who reported other rheumatic conditions or who reported taking only prednisone, the PPV increased in the DMARDs group to 88%, but little improvement was seen in the other groups. The PPVs increased somewhat according to results of the screening survey for the DMARDs group (positive: 92% vs. negative screen: 85%, p=1.00), and increased substantially for the NSAIDs group (89% vs. 38%, p=0.03), but only 43% of participants completed the survey. We found that self-report of RA, along with DMARDs is a useful case definition for identifying confirmed RA. The validated screening survey could be useful for identifying cases of confirmed RA in some, but not all medication groups.
