Examine self-reported symptoms and functioning in a community-based sample of persons with RA who and did not initiate treatment with biologics. Data were from annual telephone interviews (1998–2003) with a longitudinal observational cohort identified through community rheumatologists. Self-reported function and symptoms of subjects who initiated biologic therapy (etanercept or infliximab) and reported consistent use at 2 annual interviews (n=64; “continuous use”, CON) were compared to those with no biologic use (n=183) and those who initiated biologic therapy but discontinued use (n=42, DISCON), at one year prior to initiation of therapy (baseline; 1998 for comparison group), and years 1 and 2 of therapy (1999 and 2000 for comparison group). At baseline, subjects taking biologics reported significantly worse function and symptoms on all measures except fatigue and pain severity. After two years, significant differences in HAQ remained, but there were no other significant differences between biologic non-users and CON. DISCON exhibited significantly greater pain severity and more painful joints than non-users. Improvements from baseline in number of painful joints (CON: 33.4% vs. non-users: 16.2%, p=.004), number of swollen joints (38.4% vs. 18.7%, p=.003), and morning stiffness (27.3% vs. 10.4%, p=.001) were more frequent in CON than non-users. Differences between non-users and DISCON were noted only for number of swollen joints (36.4% vs. 18.7%, p=.02). Results suggest that biologic treatment was initiated based on severe disease. Over an average of 17 months of treatment, differences in some, but not all, symptoms between CON and non-users narrowed to statistical non-significance.
