List of candidate external anchors for estimating cut-scores associated with the patient acceptable state in worker productivity (PAS-WP) explored at the OMERACT 11 Workshop.
| PAS-WP anchors (acceptable state = X) |
|---|
| 1. Were you hindered by your arthritis at your paid work over the past week? |
| No, not at all (X) |

| My current situation, including any ways I am balancing things outside of work to keep up with work would be acceptable to me on an ongoing basis (X) |

| No, not at all |
| Yes, to a degree (X) |
| Yes, very much (X) |
| 7. If you were to remain at your current level of work ability/productivity for the rest of your working life, would this be acceptable or unacceptable to you? |
