The Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RAQoL) is a disease-specific patient-reported outcome measure which determines the effect rheumatoid arthritis has on a patient's quality of life.
[3] The RAQoL is a self-assessment questionnaire, meaning patients fill out the survey themselves in order to avoid experimental error.
[4] The RAQoL was developed by Galen Research, the University of Leeds and the Academic Hospital Maastricht, and was first published in 1997.
[3] Other dimensions include activities of daily living, social interaction/function, emotions, mood and recreation and pastimes.
The RAQoL has been used in clinical studies in order to confirm the efficacy of proposed treatments of rheumatoid arthritis.
