Abstract:
Remission is the ideal treatment objective in the management of rheumatoid arthritis. To define remission, stringent criteria are needed which allow clinicians to assess the presence of active disease and which should be reliable enough to support therapeutic decisions. Currently there are many different remission classifications and none has been validated against important outcome measures such as the absence of progression of joint damage and disability. Recently, a subcommittee of the ACR and EULAR has proposed new criteria for remission based on a categorical classification and a composite score like SDAI allowing their use in clinical practice.
