Rheumatoid arthritis in Canadian primary care settings: epidemiology, management of care and patient experience
A recently-funded project using the Canadian primary care medical record data, we created a series of steps to select patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), 2) identified the number of patients with RA, 3) looked at the health services before and after RA diagnosis. We also completed in-person interviews with patients with RA to understand their perspectives and experiences managing RA.
This project will identify gaps in care and guide treatment in primary care for RA.
