Time to achieve remission determines time to be in remission

INTRODUCTION Though remission is currently a treatment goal in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), the number of patients who achieve and sustain remission in daily practice is still small. It is suggested that early remission will be associated with sustainability of remission. The aim was to study the association between time-to-remission and sustainability of remission in a cohort of ea...

Early rheumatoid arthritis: time to aim for remission?

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is probably the commonest potentially treatable cause of disability in the western world. It is characterised by a symmetrical inflammatory synovitis which initially affects the metacarpal/metatarsal phalangeal (MCP/MTP) joints. Subsequently, this evolves to systemic disease with an increased acute phase response and extraarticular manifestations. In its mildest form, ...

Weight suppression predicts time to remission from bulimia nervosa.

OBJECTIVE To investigate whether, at study entry, (a) weight suppression (WS), the difference between highest past adult weight and current weight, prospectively predicts time to first full remission from bulimia nervosa (BN) over a follow-up period of 8 years, and (b) weight change over time mediates the relationship between WS and time to first full remission. METHOD A well-characterized sa...

Major Depressive Disorder in the Primary Care Setting: Strategies to Achieve Remission and Recovery.

Time to Remission for Depression with Collaborative Care Management (CCM) in Primary Care.

BACKGROUND Collaborative care management (CCM) has been shown to have superior outcomes to usual care (UC) for depressed patients with a fixed end point. This study was a survival analysis over time comparing CCM with UC using remission (9-item Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9] score <5) and persistent depressive symptoms (PDSs; PHQ-9 score ≥10) as end points. METHODS A retrospective cohor...
