Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease, with a world prevalence
of around 1%. The course of the disease may be changed by using synthetic and/or biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs alone or in combination. This review assessed
whether the use of biological agents in early rheumatoid arthritis can lead to disease remission.
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of biological therapies in inducing remission in patients
with early rheumatoid arthritis.
Methods: Type of study: systematic review of the literature. A systematic search of the literature was made in specialized electronic health databases: PubMed, Embase, Cochrane,
LILACS, gray literature (doctoral theses, congresses, entity reports, unpublished works) and
manual search (Secondary searches of the studies cited in the selected articles). Inclusion
criteria: Patients older than 18 years with early rheumatoid arthritis (clinical course less
than 12 months) according to criteria of the American College of Rheumatology / European
League against Rheumatism (ACR 1987, ACR / EULAR 2010), who received biological therapy
Monotherapy or combined with other disease modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs)
and were included in randomized controlled trials.
Results: The systematic review of the literature identified 978 potentially relevant studies. Of
the 86 that were chosen for a thorough evaluation, 68 articles were excluded. A qualitative
and quantitative analysis of the remaining 18 studies was performed. A high risk of bias was
identified in the studies evaluated and synthesis of the evidence did not show differences
in the outcome of remission using biological therapy alone or combined with conventional
DMARDs versus synthetic DMARDs (RR 1.08, 95% CI: 0.94-1.23).
Conclusions: There is no difference in the outcome of remission in patients with early
rheumatoid arthritis receiving biological therapy versus patients treated with conventional
disease modifying antirheumatic drugs
