The HAQ score ranges from 0 to 3 (maximum functional disability). Radiographic damage ranges from 0% (no joint damage) to 100% (total joint damage). DMARD = disease-modifying antirheumatic drug; HAQ = Health Assessment Questionnaire. Date of download: 10/17/2017 Copyright © American College of Physicians. All rights reserved.
