About this study

Official title: Long-term Prognosis and Quality of Life in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients Treated by 2015 ACR Guideline (LELAND): a Multicenter Prospective Observational Study in Southern China

To focus on the real world treat-to-target rate of early rheumatoid arthritis patients who will be treated according to the 2015 American College of Rheumatology Guideline for the Treatment of RA.

To explore the factors which influence the treat-to-target outcome.

Read the detailed description

Resent study showed that rapid progression of cartilage and bone damage could happen on the early state of RA patients, so the clinicians should try the best to stop the trend, such as early diagnosis, early treatment and treat-to-target. But only half of the RA patients could reach low disease activity in the whole world and about 10% in China.

The investigators enroll early RA patients who are treated according to the 2015 American College of Rheumatology Guideline. The relevant data are collected and analyzed by the statistician including clinical data, imaging markers, blood samples and patient-reported outcomes every 3 months.
