Rheumatoid arthritis: 2014 treat-to-target RA recommendations--strategy is key

Tom Huizinga et al. Nat Rev Rheumatol. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

The treatment recommendations for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been updated. Among the changes included, rheumatologists are advised to share treatment decision-making with patients and to maximize patients' quality of life by aiming for clinical remission. The update is based on scientific evidence, but more research is needed to strengthen RA treatment strategies.
