Abstract

The clinical, personal and societal impact imposed by rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has transformed in the last decade. The likelihood is increasing of a more favourable disease course, associated with less articular damage and better long‐term prognosis in RA (1, 2). This has been driven largely by a substantially revised treatment paradigm, comprising earlier diagnosis, treatment and application of treat‐to‐target strategies, together with the advent of selective immune‐targeted therapeutics based upon pathogenesis driven principles.
