Article Synopsis
- Work disability due to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is influenced by various factors including demographic and societal variables, with evidence suggesting biologic agents may reduce disability rates, though this research is primarily from Western contexts.
- The QUEST-RA study analyzed data from over 8,000 RA patients across various countries to assess work status and clinical outcomes.
- Findings revealed that a significant percentage of initially employed individuals became disabled within a few years, but those who remained employed showed better overall health, regardless of their country’s economic status.
