EULAR issue new guidelines for the management of RA

10 March 2020

The information gathered for these updates came through a systematic review of studies focused on the safety and effectiveness of disease modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (DMARDs), when taken alone or in combination and included standard and biologic DMARDs.

The task force agreed on 5 overarching principles and 12 recommendations by devising related questions, eliciting expert opinions, and reaching consensus by vote.

These recommendations are summarised here (link to: https://www.rheumatologyadvisor.com/home/topics/rheumatoid-arthritis/updated-eular-recommendations-for-rheumatoid-arthritis-management-with-dmards/)
