Abstract
The clinical features of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients with complete remission were studied retrospectively. One hundred ten patients with early RA who were treated for more than 3 years at our hospital were evaluated. Clinical remission according to Pinals' preliminary criteria was noted in 15 patients (14%) during the observation period. Age, joint number with pain or swelling, duration of morning stiffness, and laboratory data except rheumatoid factor at their first visit showed no significant difference between patients with remission and those without remission. Significant differences in clinical findings were observed 2 years after their first visit.
