Anti-rheumatic drugs are frequently not appropriately modified, according to ACR Guidelines, in patients with active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) as defined by a DAS28 score greater than 3.2. The objective was to determine which factors most strongly influence patients’ and rheumatologists’ decisions to escalate care. We administered a Maximum Difference Scaling survey to 106 rheumatologists and 213 RA patients. The survey included 58 factors related to the decision to escalate care in RA. Participants answered 24 choice tasks. In each task, participants were asked to choose the most important factor from a set of five. We used Hierarchical Bayes modeling to generate the mean relative importance score (RIS) for each factor. For rheumatologists, the five most influential factors were: number of swollen joints (RIS: 5.2; sd: 0.4), DAS28 score (RIS 5.2; sd 0.5), physician global assessment of disease activity (RIS 5.2. sd 0.6), worsening erosions over the last year (RIS: 5.2; sd: 0.6) and RA disease activity now compared to three months ago (RIS 5.1; sd: 0.6). For patients, the 5 most important factors were: current level of physical functioning (RIS: 4.3; sd: 1.1), motivation to get better (RIS: 3.5; sd: 1.4), trust in their rheumatologist (RIS: 3.5; sd: 1.6), satisfaction with current DMARDs (RIS: 3.4; sd: 1.4) and current number of painful joints (RIS 3.4; sd: 1.4). Factors influencing the decision to escalate care differ between rheumatologists and patients. Better communication between patients and their physicians may improve treatment planning in RA patients with active disease.
