The aim of this study was to identify the proportion of patients aware of the existence of patients' rights and compare the proportions of patients intending to exercise their rights and those actually exercising their rights among the aware and unaware groups. Data were collected with a structured questionnaire, using face-to-face interview technique, from 142 randomly selected outpatients visiting the Khmer Soviet Friendship Hospital in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. Intention to exercise patients' rights was measured on a 5-point Likert scale (ranging from 1 "definitely not" to 5 "definitely yes"). The proportion of Cambodian patients who were aware of the existence of patients' rights was 31.0% (95% CI 23.5, 39.3). The average intention to act scores was 4.0±0.5 for the whole group, and 4.3±0.4 and 3.9ence of patients' rights raised patient's intention to act, which corresponds to the hierarchy-of-effects behavioral model. To evaluate the albumin-fibrinogen ratio (AFR) and C-reactive protein-albumin ratio (CAR) as inflammatory markers in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to investigate their association with disease activity correlating with musculoskeletal ultrasonographic findings. A total of 125 cases of RA patients were consecutively enrolled in a multicenter cross-sectional study compared to 100 healthy controls, all subjects were investigated for fibrinogen, albumin, CRP, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, AFR, and CAR measurements. Patients' disease activity was assessed by disease activity score (DAS28-ESR), and they were subjected to high-frequency ultrasound both in greyscale and power Doppler. RA patients had lower AFR and higher CAR than those in the control group (P < 0.001). A positive correlation was demons
