Higher comorbidities associated with less improvement in disease activity in early RA: results from CATCH cohort
This large real-world analysis of ERA patients seen in routine rheumatology practice across Canada showed that while RA disease activity across comorbidity groups at diagnosis was similar, higher comorbidity was associated with slower improvement in RA disease activity over the first year of treatment, likely driven by independent associations with patient and physician global assessments and pain.
