Brief summary

The Real World Examination of Fibromyalgia: Longitudinal Evaluation of Costs and Treatments (REFLECTIONS) Study is a 12-month, prospective observational study that will be utilized in approximately 58 care settings in the United States (US) and Puerto Rico. It is designed to examine treatment patterns and health outcomes of adult participants diagnosed by their physician with fibromyalgia (FM) and who are starting any new pharmacologic agent for FM. The primary benefit of this study is enhanced understanding of the disease state of FM and the role that pharmacologic treatment plays, which may help to optimize management of FM. This study will address current gaps in a rapidly growing body of literature on FM.

Odds Ratios From Stepwise Logistic Regression Model of Longitudinal Adherence to Duloxetine Treatment for Fibromyalgia (FM) Over 12 Months: Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7) Score, Pregabalin Use, and Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) UseBaseline through 12 monthsSignificant variables included in the final model were pregabalin use, NSAID use, and GAD-7 (7-item, self-reported measurement of GAD severity \[not at all severe, severe for several days, severe for more than half the days, severe nearly every day\]; Total score=sum of all 7 items; ranges from 0 to 21; Higher score=greater level of anxiety). Odds ratios were based on medication possession ratio (MPR) ≥0.8 for pregabalin and NSAID use among duloxetine initiators at Baseline; MPR=total supply days/total number of days in 12-month study period.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Interference (BPI-I) Average Subscale Score at 12 MonthsBaseline, 12 monthsAverage BPI-I measures self-reported degree of pain interference on function. Interference scores range from 0 (does not interfere) to 10 (completely interferes) for each question assessing interference of pain within past 24 hours for general activity, mood, walking ability, normal work, relations with other people, sleep, and enjoyment of life. Average interference = average of non-missing scores of individual interference items.
Change From Baseline in Brief Pain Inventory-Severity (BPI-S) Average Subscale Score at 12 MonthsBaseline, 12 monthsBPI-S measures self-reported severity of pain. Severity scores range from 0 (no pain) to 10 (severe pain) for each question assessing worst pain, least pain, and average pain in past 24 hours, and current pain.
Change From Baseline in Fibromyalgia Impact Questionnaire (FIQ) Total Score at 12 MonthsBaseline, 12 monthsFIQ measures self-reported fibromyalgia (FM) status, progress, and outcomes over past week. FIQ comprises 20 items: Items 1-11 measure physical functioning (each rated on 4-point Likert-type scale); Items 12 + 13 measure number (no.) of days participant felt well and no. of days participant felt unable to work due to FM symptoms. Items 14-20 are numerical, 11-point Likert-type scales (marked in 10-millimeter \[mm\] increments) rating work difficulty, pain intensity, fatigue, morning tiredness, stiffness, anxiety, and depression. Total scores range from 0-80; Higher score=greater negative impact.
Change From Baseline in Sheehan Disability Score (SDS) Total Score at 12 MonthsBaseline, 12 monthsThe SDS is completed by the participant and assesses the effect of the participant's symptoms on work/social/family life. Total scores range from 0 to 30; Higher score=greater disruption in the participant's work/social/family life.
Number of Outpatient Visits Due to Fibromyalgia (FM)Baseline through 12 months
Reasons for Discontinuing Medications for Fibromyalgia (FM) During the StudyBaseline through 12 monthsParticipants were allowed to select multiple reasons for discontinuing treatment. During the 12-month period post-baseline, a participant could possibly discontinue more than 1 medication, or discontinue the same medication more than once. A reason for discontinuation was given each time a participant stopped taking a medication.
Number of Days of Partial Care for Fibromyalgia (FM) ParticipantsBaseline through 12 monthsPartial (day or night) care included day care, day nursing home, and partial hospitalization.
Number of Days of Caregiver Burden Due to Fibromyalgia (FM; Family Missed Paid Work and Used a Paid Caregiver)Baseline through 12 monthsCaregiver burden was described as the number of days family members missed paid work and used a paid caregiver (for example, home healthcare nurse) to care for the participant with FM.
Number of Days of Caregiver Burden Due to Fibromyalgia (FM; Family Used an Unpaid Caregiver)Baseline through 12 monthsCaregiver burden was described as the number of days family members used an unpaid caregiver (family and friends) to care for the participant with FM.
Number of Days Fibromyalgia (FM) Affected Participant Productivity (Stayed in Bed, Reduced Activity, and Received Disability Income)Baseline through 12 monthsParticipant productivity was described as the number of days the participant stayed in bed, had to reduce normal activity by half, and received disability income due to FM.
Number of Days Fibromyalgia (FM) Affected Participant Productivity (Missed Work)Baseline through 12 monthsParticipant productivity was described as the number of days a participant missed work due to FM.
Number of Emergency Room (ER) Visits Due to Fibromyalgia (FM)Baseline through 12 months
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued OpioidsBaseline through 12 months
Hazard Ratios for Factors Associated With Discontinued Opioid UseBaseline through 12 monthsFactors significantly associated with discontinuation of opioid use were participant age, Brief Pain Inventory-Interference (BPI-I) score, and Patient Health Questionnaire for somatic symptoms (PHQ-15) score.
