Definition of Remission in Rheumatoid Arthritis & Likelihood with Advanced Therapies
In this FAQ video module, Stacey Johnson, NP-C, explains the updated remission criteria for rheumatoid arthritis (RA), highlighting the 2022 Boolean 2.0 criteria and index-based definitions endorsed by the ACR and EULAR. Boolean 2.0 includes tender and swollen joint counts, patient global assessment, and CRP levels, allowing a patient global threshold of 2. It aligns more closely with the Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) and Clinical Disease Activity Index (CDAI) remission criteria. The video also reviews recent trial data showing improved remission rates with Boolean 2.0, underscoring the need for continued advancements in RA treatment.
