SAT0056 Rheumatoid arthritis magnetic resonance imaging score (RAMRIS) can predict DAS-28 therapy response after 6 months: results of the german arthromark cohort [PDF]

Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases, 2017
Background Remission is the ultimate goal in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The absence of rheumatoid factors (RF) and /or anti-citrullinated protein (CCP) antibodies, no bone erosions on conventional x-rays, the presence of low disease activity, and early therapeutic intervention are established good prognostic markers.
