Characterization of patients with rheumatoid arthritis not using biologic/targeted synthetic disease-modifying drugs despite insufficient disease control: Another difficult-to-treat RA
We revealed the status of RA patients, non-users of b/tsDMARDs despite disease activity, who are not included in the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)-defined difficult-to-treat RA. About half of them might benefit from b/tsDMARD by patient education and socioeconomic support.
