[Structured assessment of the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis].
As prognosis in rheumatoid arthritis has been shown to be much poorer than formerly believed, new treatment strategies have been proposed. However, trials of these strategies require improved evaluation of their effect on the disease course and its consequences for the patient. International guidelines and a Swedish model for such evaluation are presented in the article.
