Rheumatoid Arthritis in Adults: A Review
Listen to this summary
The authors review the current understanding and management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a chronic autoimmune disease that leads to joint destruction and disability. They emphasize the importance of early diagnosis and initiation of treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), particularly methotrexate, to achieve significant improvement in disease activity. For patients who do not reach remission with first-line therapies, the addition of biological DMARDs or Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors can enhance remission rates to approximately 80%.
