开发了一个衡量关节炎患者健康状况的多维指数。关节炎影响测量量表（AIMS）是先前研究和新创建的健康状况量表的组合，用于评估身体，情绪和社会福祉。在混合性关节炎人群中对自我管理的AIMS问卷进行了初步测试。该工具显然是实用的，并产生了可扩展的、可靠的和有效的综合和分类健康状况的衡量标准。AIMS健康状况测量方法应该被证明对评估关节炎治疗和项目的结果有用。
A multidimensional index that measures the health status of individuals with arthritis was developed. The Arthritis Impact Measurement Scales (AIMS) are a combination of previously studied and newly created health status scales which assess physical, emotional and social well-being. The self-administered AIMS questionnaire was pilot tested in a mixed arthritis population. The instrument evidently is practical and generates scalable, reliable and valid measures of aggregated and disaggregated health status. The AIMS approach to health status measurement should prove useful for evaluating the outcomes of arthritis treatments and programs.
