Is the health assessment questionnaire ( HAQ ) strongly predictive of good outcome in early diffuse scleroderma : results from an analysis of two randomized controlled trials in early diffuse scleroderma?
A low baseline HAQ (defined as less than the median HAQ score) is predictive of improved outcome in diffuse scleroderma at 1 and 2 yr.
Adults with a brachial plexus injury report a range of activities that are limited following injury, and are under-represented in currently used patient-reported outcome measures. The activities reported in this study could be used to inform the development of a new brachial plexus injury targeted questionnaire.
