Ninety-four patients with rheumatoid arthritis, seen within the first year after onset, have been followed prospectively with annual radiographs for a mean 63-1 months. An erosive arthropathy occurred in 72. The severity of the erosive changes showed a significant correlation with eventual clinical outcome. It is possible to predict a favourable outcome in those patients whose erosive changes become static at an early stage in the disease.
94例类风湿关节炎患者在发病后第一年内就诊,前瞻性随访期间每年拍摄X线片,平均随访63.1个月。其中72例出现侵蚀性关节病。侵蚀性改变的严重程度与最终临床结局显著相关。对于那些在疾病早期侵蚀性改变即趋于稳定的患者,有可能预测其预后良好。
