#ACR24 research on #rheumatoidarthritis patients starting a 1st-line TNF therapy finds:
👉 Most who don’t respond to the treatment at 3 months still don’t respond by 12 months
👉 1 in 4 patients achieving low disease activity/remission at 3 months were no longer at 12 months

Are you satisfied with your rheumatoid arthritis control? 🤔 A new #ACR24 study reveals:
🩺 73% of 26,377 patients are satisfied, but 57.5% of those not 'very satisfied' want med changes.
