A Study of clinical profile of people with rheumatoid arthritis

Abstract

Rheumatoid arthritis is distinguished by recurrent inflammation of the joints, destruction of cartilage and bone, considerable activity restriction, a decline in quality of life, and frequently the development of systemic problems. In recent years, there have been a lot of advancements in diagnostic and treatment modalities that are available for RA. Additionally, better access to tertiary care centres in the country has contributed to these developments. The purpose of this study was to conduct an analysis of the current clinical profile of RA patients who were presenting themselves to a tertiary care centre in the south western area of India.
