Figure 1 Rheumatoid arthritis development over time in relation to the level of inflammation
Figure 1 | Rheumatoid arthritis development over time in relation to the level of inflammation. Subclinical inflammation can progress to clinically detectable, persistent and classifiable rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (indicated by the blue line). The initiation of disease-modifying treatment in patients with arthralgia (that is, patients in the pre-arthritis phase who have symptoms such as joint point) might prevent disease development (indicated by the red line).The red dotted line indicates the clinical detection limit for measuring inflammation (thus, the transition from subclinical inflammation to clinically detectable inflammation) .
