Clinical and Morphological Aspects of Sinovitis in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
The earliest joint changes in rheumatoid arthritis occur in the synovial membrane, leading to development of an unsuppurated proliferative synovitis. This study is based on 33 cases of early rheumatoid arthritis for which we have investigated a series of clinical and morphological parameters. For the examined cases we found that the disease incidence reached its maximum in fifth and sixth decad...
متن کاملClinical remission in rheumatoid arthritis and psoriatic arthritis.
It is currently recognised that remission can be an achievable target for several rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) patients by a treat-to-target approach. For RA different remission criteria have been proposed, depending on the disease activity scores used, on the importance given to the inclusion of patients' perspective into the definition of remission, and on their app...
متن کاملRemission in Rheumatoid Arthritis
With advancing therapeutic options, achieving a state of remission has become the treatment goal in rheumatoid arthritis. Agreeing on what constitutes remission and what measures should be used to assess disease activity has remained a challenge. Multiple remission criteria have been devised and modified, all with different strengths and limitations. A consensus definition of remission will nee...
متن کاملSustained remission in rheumatoid arthritis: latest evidence and clinical considerations
Sustained remission is an ultimate treatment goal in the management of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Historically the frequency of sustained remission was low but the frequency of achieved sustained remission is increasing over time. The last years' clinical studies of tight control targeted treatment and intervention trials of early use of intensive strategy suggest that these treat...
متن کاملRemission in rheumatoid arthritis: benefit over low disease activity in patient-reported outcomes and costs
INTRODUCTION Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that causes a considerable burden for the patient and society. It is not clear yet whether aiming for remission (REM) is worthwhile, especially when compared with low disease activity (LDA). METHODS In 356 consecutive RA patients, we obtained data on physical function (health assessment questionnaire (HAQ)), health-relat...
