      Background - The optimal first-line treatment in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is debated. We compared clinical and radiographic outcomes of active conventional therapy with each of three biological treatments with different modes of action.<p> <p>Methods - Investigator-initiated, randomised, blinded-assessor study. Patients with treatment-naïve early RA with moderate–severe disease activity ...

      Objective: To develop and validate a responsive and feasible ultrasound inflammation score for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Methods: We used data from cohorts of early RA (development) and established RA starting/switching biologic therapy (validation). 4 tendons and 36 joints were examined by a grey scale (GSUS) and power Doppler semiquantitative ultrasound (PDUS) scoring system (full score). ...
