Research Notes on Rheumatoid Arthritis Prognosis


The prognosis for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) varies from person to person. RA is a progressive disease that typically can lead to joint destruction and deformity. In many cases, treatment may slow or stop this damage.1

Fast Facts:

  • Treatment eases symptoms in three out of four people who suffer from RA.2
  • Only about 10% of people with RA are eventually severely disabled.3
  • The number of severe disabilities and life-threatening complications from RA appears to be decreasing with improvements in treatment.3
  • If you think your symptoms may be indicative of rheumatoid arthritis, you can take an OranizedWisdom quiz to help shed light on whether or not you may have this condition.
