## Background: Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) reflect the patient’s perspective and are used in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) routine clinical practice. However, PROs may be associated with other aspects of health, such as psychological distress or comorbidities, which leads to situations of discordance with objective RA assessments. ## Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether PROs were associated with objective assessment of disease activity. ## Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study including patients with RA (ACR/EULAR 2010). Demographic data were collected. The following PROs were assessed: number of nocturnal awakenings, morning stiffness duration, estimation of spontaneous pain and fatigue by Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and global patient assessment (GPA). In addition, patients rated their current satisfaction with their disease state according to the Austrian school mark system (PATSAT: 1=excellent, 2=good, 3=average, 4=moderate (fair), 5=unsatisfactory). Disease activity was assessed using the 28-joint disease activity score with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS28 ESR) and C reactive protein (DAS28 CRP). We used Cohen’s kappa (κ) to determine the ag
