ARD: What is the success rate of discontinuation of glucocorticoids after initial therapy in RA patients?

OBJECTIVE : Clinical trials have repeatedly shown that the addition of glucocorticoids (GCs) to the initial treatment of conventional synthetic (cs) DMARDs is more effective than csDMARDs alone in newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patient.

Objectives Objective : Clinical trials have repeatedly shown that in newly diagnosed patients, csDMARD alone is more effective in the initial treatment of conventional synthetic (cs) DMARD.

Methods : A systematic literature search was performed to identify observational cohorts and clinical trials of RA patients receiving initial GC bridging therapy (defined as discontinuation of GC therapy within 1 year.

Methods A systematic literature search was performed to identify observational cohorts and clinical trials of RA patients receiving initial GC bridging therapy (defined as discontinuation of GC therapy within 1 year.

RESULTS : A scoping literature search for observational cohort studies found no studies that answered the research questi.

Conclusions The success rate of post-bridging GC termination as part of the initial treatment of RA has been described in a limited number of studie.
