Abstract
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) generally requires lifelong treatment; however, its medication complexity might affect non-adherence. Pharmacist-led telehealth services were as effective as face-to-face services and reduced potential side effects in outpatients with chronic diseases. This study aims to analyse the effect of a telepharmacy service with a customised mobile device in comparison with the usual pharmacist service on the humanistic and clinical outcomes in patients with RA. METHODS AND ANALYSIS The study is designed as a prospective, randomised, open-label, and controlled trial to compare the humanistic and clinical outcomes of the pharmaceutical care service with monthly telecommunications and a customised mobile application (telepharmacy care group) against the usual service by community pharmacists (usual care group) in 256 patients with RA and prescribed at least one of the disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. Participants will be recruited from a tertiary hospital in Republic of Korea with written informed consent. The primary outcome will be the changes in health-related quality of life as measured by the Korean version of the EuroQoL's five-dimensional questionnaire at 6 months compared with baseline. The secondary outcomes will be the changes in the following: scores of the Korean version of the Compliance Questionnaire-Rheumatology and medication knowledge at 3 and 6 months compared with baseline; scores of the Korean version of the Pharmacy Service Questionnaire at 6 months compared with baseline; clinical parameters such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate, C reactive protein level, and pain score at 3 and 6 months compared with baseline; frequency of acute care utilisation over 6 months. Analysis will be carried out with intent-to-treat and per-protocol principles. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The study protocol was reviewed and approved by the Institutional Review Board (IRB) of Daegu Catholic University Medical Center (IRB no. CR-21-082-L, 14 July 2021). The study findings will be published in peer-reviewed journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER KCT0006508.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the psychometric properties and feasibility of the Thai version of Compliance-Questionnaire-Rheumatology (CQR)-19. PATIENTS AND METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted in the Rheumatology clinic of Siriraj hospital from October 2020 to March 2022. Literate patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis and aged ≥ 18 years old were included. Participants completed the Thai CQR-19 at baseline and during a follow-up visit. A pill count at the follow-up visit indicating that ≤ 80% of prescribed pills were taken was defined as poor compliance. Feasibility was assessed by the time to completion and the number of missing questions. RESULTS 156 participants were enrolled and 88% were in good compliance. The sensitivity of the CQR-19 to detect good compliance was 78.2% and the specificity was 27.8%. The Thai CQR-19 showed moderate agreement (Gwet's AC1= 0.61, p < 0.01) with 72.2% agreement against pill counts. The Thai CQR-19 had good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha = 0.83) with moderate test-retest reliability (intraclass coefficients = 0.64, 95% CI 0.54-0.73; p < 0.05). There was a weak correlation between the Thai CQR-19 and disease activity (rs = 0.20, p < 0.05), and no correlation with functional disability (rs = 0.09, p = 0.25). The median (IQR) completion time was 4.42 (3.25-6.16) minutes and 114 (73%) completed all 19 questions. CONCLUSION The Thai version of CQR-19 is a valid and reliable tool to assess medication compliance in Thai patients with RA. To ensure completeness and accuracy, this questionnaire may be administered by interview.

Abstract
Purpose This study aims to develop a valid and reliable Arabic version of the Compliance Questionnaire on Rheumatology (CQR-A) and to explore the impact of demographic factors on compliance. Methods This is a descriptive cross-sectional study carried out at the outpatient clinics of rheumatology in King Fahad hospital (KFH) in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, from May 2019 to October 2019. Initially, the original version was culturally adapted to an Arabic version by forward translation, backward translation, committee review of both the Arabic and the original versions, and lastly, pre-testing. Then, seventy-two rheumatoid arthritis patients were recruited to evaluate the reliability and validity of the CQR-A. Reliability was assessed by the test–retest method with a two-week interval through the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). The criterion validity of the CQR-A was assessed through Pearson correlation of pharmacy refill and CQR-A. The content validity index (CVI) was used to determine content validity. Multiple regression analysis was done to evaluate the effect of demographic factors on compliance. Results The CQR-A has adequate reliability and validity. The ICC = 0.757 with a 95% CI ranging from 0.579 to 0.860, p < 0.001, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient = 0.788. Pearson correlation coefficient was found to be (r = 0.338, p = 0.013). The individual content validity index (I-CVI) ranged from 0.67 to 1.00, and the average scale content validity index (S-CVI/Ave) = 0.91. Education was the only significant predictor of compliance amongst the demographic factors with R2 of 0.158. Conclusion The Arabic version of the Compliance Questionnaire on Rheumatology (CQR-A) is a reliable and valid clinical tool to assess compliance in Arabic speaking patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE A simple measure to assess drug adherence in Saudi patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is required. The aim of this study was to translate and validate the 5-Item Compliance Questionnaire for Rheumatology (CQR5) into Arabic. PATIENTS AND METHODS The questionnaire was translated and culturally adapted to Arab patients in six steps: initial translation, synthesis of the translation, back translation, expert committee review, test of the pre-final version, and development of the Arabic CQR5 (ACQR-5). The resulting version was tested for validity in patients with RA. RESULTS A total of 103 adult patients with RA were recruited from rheumatology clinics at a university hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. After extensive translation, the final tool (CQR) was piloted in 15 patients. The final validation was performed with 88 patients. Of these, 80 (90.9%) were female and 43.2% were seropositive. The mean (±SD) age and disease duration were 50 (±13) and 11.4 (±8.2) years, respectively. Cronbach's alpha reliability was 0.886, and the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin measure of sampling adequacy for factor analysis was 0.870 (p<0.001). The mean ACQR-5 was 17.78 (2.70), with 14 (15.9%) classified as low adherents and the remaining 74 (84.1%) as high adherents. Binary logistic regression revealed that increasing age (odds ratio [OR] 1.082, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.025-1.142, p=0.005) and a trend toward the presence of other comorbidities (OR 3.111, 95% CI: 0.961-10.070, p=0.058) were associated with low adherence. CONCLUSION ACQR-5 is a simple and feasible tool for identifying adherence levels in patients with RA in Saudi Arabia. A high level of adherence was observed in this study. Additional studies are required to assess ACQR-5 validity and adherence levels in a larger, more diverse population.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate adherence to treatment in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Spain and to identify potential predictors of adherence. METHODS An observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study in outpatient clinics of Rheumatology Departments from 41 centers was conducted. A validated Spanish version of the compliance questionnaire in Rheumatology was used to measure adherence in a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis, representative of the Spanish population. Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to detect predictors of adherence. RESULTS A total of 859 patients were recruited. An adherence rate of 79% was established. No differences were detected in adherence in patients receiving biologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs compared to conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs, in patients receiving intravenous therapies compared to other routes of administration and in patients treated in specific day hospitals compared to polyvalent day hospitals. The number of drugs and cohabitation were independent predictors of adherence. CONCLUSION An inexpensive and useful method was used to measure adherence in Spanish population. The adherence rate in rheumatoid arthritis is still suboptimal. Simpler, more convenient dosing regimens may improve compliance. Increased knowledge of compliance in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and the identification of possible predictors of adherence will allow to develop effective intervention strategies.

Abstract
Background Medication adherence is essential for improving the health outcomes of patients. Various patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) have been developed to measure medication adherence in patients. However, no study has summarized the psychometric properties of these PROMs to guide selection for use in clinical practice or research. Objective This study aims to evaluate the quality of the PROMs used to measure medication adherence. Methods This study was guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis) guidelines. Relevant articles were retrieved from the EMBASE, PubMed, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and CINAHL (Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature) databases. The PROMs were then evaluated based on the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) guidelines. Results A total of 121 unique medication adherence PROMs from 214 studies were identified. Hypotheses testing for construct validity and internal consistency were the most frequently assessed measurement properties. PROMs with at least a moderate level of evidence for ≥5 measurement properties include the Adherence Starts with Knowledge 20, Compliance Questionnaire-Rheumatology, General Medication Adherence Scale, Hill-Bone Scale, Immunosuppressant Therapy Barrier Scale, Medication Adherence Reasons Scale (MAR-Scale) revised, 5-item Medication Adherence Rating Scale (MARS-5), 9-item MARS (MARS-9), 4-item Morisky Medication Adherence Scale (MMAS-4), 8-item MMAS (MMAS-8), Self-efficacy for Appropriate Medication Adherence Scale, Satisfaction with Iron Chelation Therapy, Test of Adherence to Inhalers, and questionnaire by Voils. The MAR-Scale revised, MMAS-4, and MMAS-8 have been administered electronically. Conclusions This study identified 121 PROMs for medication adherence and provided synthesized evidence for the measurement properties of these PROMs. The findings from this study may assist clinicians and researchers in selecting suitable PROMs to assess medication adherence.

Abstract
Background Medication adherence is important in managing the progression of chronic diseases. A promising approach to reduce cognitive burden when measuring medication adherence lies in the use of computer‐adaptive tests (CATs) or in the development of shorter patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs). However, the lack of an item bank currently hampers this progress. Objective We aim to develop an item bank to measure general medication adherence. Methods Using the preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis (PRISMA), articles published before October 2019 were retrieved from PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, and Web of Science. Items from existing PROMs were classified and selected (“binned” and “winnowed”) according to standards published by the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Cooperative Group. Results A total of 126 unique PROMs were identified from 213 studies in 48 countries. Items from the literature review (47 PROMs with 579 items for which permission has been obtained) underwent binning and winnowing. This resulted in 421 candidate items (77 extent of adherence and 344 reasons for adherence). Conclusions We developed an item bank for measuring general medication adherence using items from validated PROMs. This will allow researchers to create new PROMs from selected items and provide the foundation to develop CATs.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study sought to investigate the associations between personality traits and medication adherence and to identify predictors of good medication adherence in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 207 RA patients using disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs were invited for an interview and questionnaire study. Medication adherence was measured using the Compliance Questionnaire for Rheumatology (CQR). Personality traits were analyzed with the five-factor model of the Korean version of the Big Five Inventory 10. Psychological factors were assessed with the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7, and British Columbia Cognitive Inventory. Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL) and functional disability were evaluated with the EuroQoL-5 dimension questionnaire and Health Assessment Questionnaire. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate predictors of good medication adherence. RESULTS Nonadherence to medication was reported by 66.7%. The number of daily prescribed pills was higher in the medication adherence group than in the nonadherence group. Concomitant oral glucocorticoid doses were associated with medication adherence. A high level of conscientiousness and diabetes mellitus comorbidity were associated with better medication adherence [odds ratio (OR), 2.11; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.01-4.38 and OR, 3.00; 95% CI, 1.12-8.07, respectively]. There were no significant differences in psychological factors or HRQoL between medication adherence and nonadherence groups. CONCLUSION The personality trait of conscientiousness was associated with medication adherence among the five personality traits evaluated. Patients with diabetes mellitus also showed higher medication adherence than those without this comorbidity.

Abstract
To perform a transcultural adaptation and validation of a Spanish version of the compliance questionnaire in rheumatology (sCQR). In this transversal study of transcultural adaptation of the sCQR, validity was evaluated in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and a minimum 6-month follow-up by determining compliance with the electronic prescription system in consuming steroids or nonbiologic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs. A two-week retest was proposed to all patients. All patients completed the health assessment questionnaire (HAQ), and the Morisky-Green test was also performed. Reliability was analyzed using Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Convergent construct validity was tested in the electronic prescription system using discriminative analysis, and divergent construct validity was tested by comparing it to the HAQ. Sensitivity, specificity and ROC curves were evaluated for the sCQR and the Morisky-Green test. Of 123 recruited patients, 101 fulfilled the inclusion criteria, and 61 were on biologic therapy. 23 performed the retest. Test-retest reliability (ICC) was 0.76 (Cronbach's alpha 0.86). Multiple regression analysis showed correlation with each item of the sCQR as independent variables (r2 = 0.60). No correlation was seen between total score punctuation of the sCQR and the HAQ (r2 = 0.22). Discriminative analysis weighting each sCQR item showed a cutoff point of - 0.9991 (sensibility and 58.8%, specificity 98.3%). The likelihood ratio of the sCQR to detect ≤ 80% adherence with electronic prescriptions was 35.3. The Morisky-Green test revealed sensibility and specificity were 29.4 and 83.3%, respectively. This study validates the transcultural adaptation of sCQR in RA patients. A high reliability of sCQR for measuring adherence was found. Its predictive value suggests that it could be used as a screening instrument.

Abstract
PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish versionof the Compliance Questionnaire on Rheumatology (CQR-T) for patients with Behçet's disease (BD). METHOD A sample of 105 Turkish patients with BD participated in this study. The scale was cross-culturally adapted through a process including translation, comparison with versions in other languages, back translation, and pretesting. Construct validity was evaluated by factor analysis, and criterion validity was evaluated using the Morisky Medication Adherence Scale. RESULTS The CQR-T demonstrated acceptable internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .832), adequate test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient = .630), and correlations with Morisky Medication Adherence Scale scores (r = -.389, p< .001), indicating convergent validity. CONCLUSION The CQR-T was found to be a valid and reliable instrument for evaluating the compliance of Turkish BD patients with prescribed medications. IMPLICATIONS FOR PRACTICE The CQR-T might be a helpful tool in two ways: for determining the level of compliance of patients with BD and for adjusting their management and follow-up based on the results.
