More than 5.1 indicates high disease activity. Between 3.2 and 5.1 indicates moderate disease activity. Between 2.6 and less than 3.2 indicates low disease activity. Lower than 2.6 indicates disease remission.

Each of the 3 individual measures is scored 0 to 10, for a total of 30. Disease severity may be classified on the basis of RAPID3 scores: >12 = high; 6.1-12 = moderate; 3.1-6 = low; < or =3 = remission.

Thus, on the scale of 0–10, a score of ≥6 was considered to be consistent with a definite diagnosis of RA.

A patient who scores between 0–1.0 is defined as near remission (NR); 1.3–2.0 as low severity (LS); 2.3–4.0 as moderate severity (MS); and 4.3–10.0 as high severity (HS).

History of Present Illness Date of onset and type of onset (suddenly or slowly). Location of pain: (joints, muscles, soft tissues) Presence of swelling* (before and now) Subsequent course (progressive, intermittent or remittent). Present status (better, same or worse). Impact on their lives.

Routine Assessment of Patient Index Data 3 (RAPID3) is an index of only patient-reported measures, completed by patients in a waiting room and calculated on a Multidimensional Health Assessment Questionnaire by a health professional in 5 seconds versus >100 seconds for the Disease Activity Score 28-joint count (DAS28) ...

Each of the 3 individual measures is scored 0 to 10, for a total of 30. Disease severity may be classified on the basis of RAPID3 scores: >12 = high; 6.1-12 = moderate; 3.1-6 = low; < or =3 = remission.

RAPID3 scores place disease activity into 4 categories that estimate the severity of your disease. They include near remission (R), low severity (LS), moderate severity (MS), and high severity (HS). A chart describing these categories is located at the bottom of the scoring section on your RAPID3 form.
