Resumo	The RA-QoL is a disease-specific quality of life measure for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Developed by Stephen McKenna and colleagues in 1997, this 30-item questionnaire quantifies how RA affects daily activities, emotional well-being, functional independence, and social engagement. It is a standard outcome measure in RA research and clinical trials, capturing dimensions beyond joint inflammation and functional disability.	The EORTC QLQ-C30 is the most widely used international instrument for assessing quality of life in cancer patients. Developed by the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer in 1993, it measures physical, emotional, cognitive, and social functioning alongside cancer-specific symptoms and financial impact, making it the standard outcome measure in oncology clinical trials and patient care.
