What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Prevalence of Flexor Tendon Pulley Inflammation on Musculoskeletal Ultrasound

    Comparison of the prevalence of flexor tendon pulley inflammation detected by musculoskeletal ultrasound among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, individuals at risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis, and healthy controls

    Measured: 6 months to 1 year
