Measuring disease...

Targeted therapy or T2T is the strategy recommended by the therapeutic management guidelines for patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis. As the name implies, treatment must be directed towards a particular goal and this goal is remission or low activity of the disease. Given the systemic compromise of this disease, we also evaluate other aspects of it such as quality of life, structural damage, functional capacity, fatigue, among others. To objectively measure all these aspects, we have numerous tools that allow us to measure the magnitude, extension or degree in terms of a certain standard of what one wishes to evaluate in the patient.
