Disease activity and changes in the fibrosis-4 index in patients with rheumatoid arthritis treated with methotrexate for a short period
Rheumatoid arthritis disease activity before methotrexate administration independently affected changes in FIB-4 values. We suggest monitoring FIB-4 values in patients with RA with high disease activity, even for a short period after methotrexate administration, as FIB-4 values in these patients may be underestimated.
