Long-Term Impact of Delay in Assessment of Patients With Early Arthritis

TL;DR: Assessment in <12 weeks is associated with less joint destruction and a higher chance of achieving DMARD-free remission as compared with a longer delay in assessment, implying that attempts to diminish the delay in seeing a rheumatologist will improve disease outcome in patients with RA.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epitope spreading of the anti-citrullinated protein antibody response occurs before disease onset and is associated with the disease course of early arthritis

TL;DR: Epitope spreading with an increase in the recognition of citrullinated antigens occurs before the onset of RA, and immunological differences in ACPA fine specificity between UA–UA patients and UA–RA patients are associated with the future disease course.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative heritability of anti-citrullinated protein antibody-positive and anti-citrullinated protein antibody-negative rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The data indicate that genetic predisposition plays an important role in the pathogenesis of ACPA-negative RA, for which most individual genetic risk factors remain to be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Update on the epidemiology, risk factors, and disease outcomes of rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: The latest insights into epidemiology, risk factors, predisease states, and outcomes are discussed, with more emphasis on sustained drug-free remission and patient-reported outcomes.
