Brief summary
The purpose of this study is to assess the effectiveness of Abatacept in real-world clinical practice. The main hypothesis to be examined in this study is, Abatacept's effectiveness results in a single real-world clinic (n = 100) are reproducible at another site (n \ = 200).
Detailed description
Two secondary hypotheses that will be tested are: * Abatacept aids in achieving low disease activity or clinical remission in patients of the following Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) sub-groups: RF+/CCP+, RF+/CCP- RF-/CCP+ RF-/CCP-; first time on a bio-tech drug; having previously failed a biological drug; having interstitial lung disease; identified as disabled; twenty-eight individual joints identified as {swollen, painful, tender, deformed or having decreased range of motion}; on or not on oral DMARD; age; or gender. * A database with sufficient attributes exists from which a patient's efficacy on abatacept is accurately predictable.
Interventions
As prescribed by a doctor for patient medical care.
