TL;DR: Low dose prednisolone conferred no radiological or clinical benefit on patients maintained on a DMARD over two years, suggesting low dose corticosteroids have no role in the routine management of rheumatoid arthritis treated with conventional disease modifying drugs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved functional outcome in patients with early rheumatoid arthritis treated with intramuscular gold: results of a five year prospective study
TL;DR: Only patients with disease duration of up to two years have a longlasting improvement in their functional ability after starting intramuscular gold treatment, and patients with early RA have a larger reversible component to their HAQ.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of social deprivation on disease severity and outcome in patients with rheumatoid arthritis
TL;DR: RA patients from deprived areas have poorer function, which is associated with greater need—medical, social, and paramedical, and strategies and resources for healthcare need to be adjusted according to this variation.
Journal ArticleDOI
