Brief Summary:
The primary goal of this cross-sectional study is to assess risk factors/predictors for dysphagia severity in RA.
The secondary goals include demonstrating whether flexible fiberoptic pharyngolaryngoscopy can diagnose joint-affection-induced dysphagia in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and whether both oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia are present among these patients.
The main questions it aims to answer are
* What are the predictors that are associated with dysphagia severity via flexible fiberoptic pharyngolaryngoscopy in rheumatoid arthritis patients?
* Whether flexible fiberoptic pharyngolaryngoscopy can diagnose joint-affection-induced dysphagia in patients with RA?
* Whether both oropharyngeal and esophageal dysphagia are present in patients with RA?
Detailed Description:
This cross-sectional study will comprise RA patients during their visits to inpatient and outpatient clinics. The inclusion criterion is patients with RA defined by the American College of Rheumatology/European League Against Rheumatism collaborative initiative (ACR/EULAR) 2010 classification criteria. Patients aged above 18 years old, well-orientated, and cooperative.
