Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Evaluate the treatment persistence/drug survival in patients on the advanced therapies for rheumatoid arthritis.Timepoint: 1 year

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effectiveness parameters as per the routine clinical practice and understand the real-world practice towards management of rheumatological disorders (DAS 28 scores, HAQ-DI scores or any other routine parameters evaluated). Record the adverse events including serious adverse events, non-serious adverse events while on treatment during the study inclusion. To study patient factors, disease factors or other determinants for treatment switch and time to first and subsequent switch to advanced therapies. Understand the use of branded and generic Tofacitinib in treatment of RA and persistence on the innovator versus the generic brands of Tofacitinib in India. Evaluation of the reduction in the need for concomitant therapies like NSAIDs, corticosteroids. Demographic characteristics of patients enrolled in the study.Timepoint: 1 year
