Description
Kaushalendra Mani and colleagues surveyed rheumatoid arthritis drug use in 2026 at a tertiary care hospital in a prospective study of 95 patients. Rheumatoid arthritis is a long term, disabling, body wide inflammation, and drug prescribing is among its most common treatments. Age, sex, and consultant drug orders were gathered and studied.
Most patients were aged 41 to 60, about two thirds of the group, with women in the majority at about three fifths. Common co illnesses were high blood pressure, diabetes, and anaemia, while disease span was mainly three to five years. Disease modifying drugs led prescribing at about nine in ten, followed by anti inflammatory drugs at about two thirds and steroids at about half, with biologics at under one in ten. Methotrexate led at about three quarters.
