Earlier Time to Remission Predicts Sustained Clinical Remission in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis — Results from the Canadian Early Arthritis Cohort (CATCH)

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the prevalence and predictive factors of sustained remission in an early rheumatoid arthritis (ERA) population. Predictive factors of sustained remission in ERA are unknown. We hypothesized that a short time to remission is an important predictor of sustained clinical remission. METHODS: Patients in the Canadian Early Arthritis Cohort were included. Remission was defined by Boolean-based American College of …
