Sex Differences in Rheumatoid Arthritis: New Insights From Clinical and Patient-Reported Outcome Perspectives
Clinical outcomes and PROs are intertwined, and both improve with a T2T management approach. Nevertheless, female patients with RA have higher disease activity, a greater need for bDMARDs-although these have lower efficacy-and more functional impairment over time, underscoring the need for sex-specific management recommendations. (Trial registration number: ISRCTN26791028).
