Abstract:
Rapid radiographic progression (RRP) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is strongly correlated with unfavorable long-term prognostic outcomes. Early identification of RRP is paramount, as prompt intervention and the implementation of intensified therapeutic regimens have the potential to substantially improve clinical outcomes. This review summarized the different definitions and current key predictors of RRP, such as genetic predispositions, body mass index and so on. Furthermore, the existing matrix-based predictive models for RRP were compared. In addition, the potential treatment options for patients with RRP were also outlined. The objective of this review is to improve the early detection of RRP, thereby facilitating timely intervention and the adoption of personalized treatment paradigms that optimize patient prognosis.
