The patients were divided into 2 groups: 1) those who had been followed up once every 3-4 months by a rheumatologist in real clinical practice for 2 years; 2) those who were tightly controlled (estimation of the number of swollen and tender joints and general conditions, pain scores by the visual analogue 58 НАУЧНО-ПРАКТИЧЕСКАЯ РЕВМАТОЛОГИЯ, 2010, № 2, 51-58 ОРИГИНАЛЬНЫЕ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ scale, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, by calculating the disease activity score (DAS) 28 and functional index by the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ)) by an investigating rheumatologist once monthly.
