The first item is a question asked on a 4-point scale (0–3.3), and the second is a yes or no (blank) question asked within a 60-item review of symptoms (ROS) checklist. Results The study included 183 participants, of whom 126 (68.9%) had RA and 57 (31.1%) had PsA. The mean age was 57.3 years and 66.7% were female.
