Projects

WP1 - Optimized medical interventions

ARCTIC

Remission in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a randomized controlled trial investigating the use of ultrasound in clinical follow-up

WP1 - Optimized medical interventions

ARCTIC FORWARD

10-year follow-up of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who received structured treatment-to-target therapy in the early phase of the disease.

WP4 - Management of additional diseases

The Diet Study

In a large randomized international study, we will assess whether 4-minute short information sessions on heart-healthy eating have the same effect as individually tailored 60-minute dietary guidance.
