Why is it important?
- The research explores the effectiveness of treatment with biologic and nonbiologic DMARDs in a great cohort of patients in Latin America. - There are no data about the antirheumatic treatment in “real life” in Colombia and Latin America. - The pharmacological therapy for rheumatoid arthritis in a group of Colombian patients is effective in a high proportion of patients, even higher than other cohorts reported. - This research identified the variables associated with no control, which it is useful for clinical decision making.
Perspectives
This research allows us to observe that antirheumatic therapy can be very effective if proper monitoring each patient is made.
