ReviewHow is it best to treat early rheumatoid arthritis patients?
During the past decade, many important changes have occurred in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, perhaps the most important of which has been the realization that early diagnosis and early treatment are critical. This has challenged our health-care systems to make sure that patients with early arthritis have access to the appropriate physicians. ⋯ The availability of all these new options is clearly excellent news for patients with RA and their physicians. It is hoped that we will, in the next few years, better understand how most effectively to utilize these treatment options for the optimal care of our patients.
