Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Proportion of patients with Medication Possession Ratio (MPR)>=80% | Up to 12 months | The variable MPR will be used, considering in the numerator the sum of days supply between start of observation (baseline) and last prescription dispensed (including the days of last prescription) and as denominator the number of days elapsed between baseline and last prescription dispensed (including the days of last prescription). |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Assessing Patient's overall satisfaction with AbbVie Care 2.0 program | At 12 months | Patient's overall satisfaction with AbbVie Care 2.0 program is scored at 1: Very good, 2: Good and 3: Less satisfying. |
| Number of Sick Leaves | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing work time lost due to other reasons than health problems during previous last seven days. |
| Time Spent by the Patient to Refill Prescription | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the work productivity indicator over 12 months. |
| Number of Hospital Inpatient Days | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the use of health resources over 12 months. |
| Number of Emergency Visits | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the use of health resources over 12 months. |
| Assessing Working Status | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by the proportion of patients employed. |
| Proportion of patients with MPR>=80% | At Month 6 | The variable MPR will be used, considering in the numerator the sum of days supply between start of observation (baseline) and last prescription dispensed (including the days of last prescription) and as denominator the number of days elapsed between baseline and last prescription dispensed (including the days of last prescription). |
| Mean score of Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medication (TSQM)-II | Up to Month 12 | This 14-point measure attempts to show that adherence is expected to be related with patients' satisfaction with therapy and such satisfaction can be a function of not only the effect of the treatment, but also the services offered. Domains include: Effectiveness, Side effects, Convenience and Global satisfaction. |
| Mean Change in EuroQoL (EQ-5D) score | From Month 0 to Month 12 | EQ-5D considers five attributes of quality of life evaluation, i.e., mobility, self-care, usual activity, pain/ discomfort, and anxiety/ depression. |
| Mean number of injections administered/ prescribed for adalimumab | Up to 12 months | This is assessed based on patient diary. |
| Number of Hospitalizations | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the use of health resources over 12 months. |
| Mean Change in Patient Activation Measure (PAM-13) | From Month 0 to Month 12 | This is a powerful and reliable measure of patient activation. It is 13-item measure used to assess the patient knowledge, skill, and confidence for self-management. |
| Time Spent by the Health Care Providers (HCPs) During Medical Appointments | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the use of health resources over 12 months. |
| Mean Change in Beliefs about Medication Questionnaire (BMQ) | From Month 0 to Month 12 | The BMQ comprises two sections: the BMQ-Specific, which assesses representations of medication prescribed for personal use and the BMQ-General, which assesses beliefs about medicines in general. This questionnaire is validated for use in Portugal. |
| Change in Work Productivity and Activity Impairment- General Health (WPAI-GH) | From Month 0 to Month 12 | WPA-GH assesses the impact of general health problem on work productivity and daily activities during the previous 7 days. |
| Number of Outpatient Visits (in-office and remote) in Hospital Setting | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the use of health resources over 12 months. |
| Number of Days of Sick Leaves | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing work time lost due to health problems during previous seven days. |
| Proportion of patients who are still on adalimumab after 6 and 12 months | Up to 12 months | This is used to assess persistence and it could be done using pharmacy refills. |
| Number of Complementary Exams/ Techniques | Up to 12 months | This is assessed by reviewing the use of health resources over 12 months. |
