Rheumatoid Arthritis Real-world Cohort Study in China (ReALSA)
- Conditions
- Rheumatoid Arthritis
- Registration Number
- NCT06233929
- Brief Summary
An ongoing long-term cohort study is conducted in the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University, that is dedicated to recruiting RA patients, to identify the development of clinical, neuroimaging, and biochemical biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of RA, especially for those with sarcopenia/myopenia
To improve the prognosis of RA, this study includes the following objectives:
1. Construct a useful database to explore the secular dynamic progress of RA, especially the difference between early and lately RA, as well as to improve our understanding of the life-course factors affecting the process that will facilitate future research activities.
2. Identify the potential markers (clinical, biomedical and imaging) affecting/predicting the development process of sarcopenia/myopenia or other prognosis in RA patients.
3. Develop the related multi-modal prediction models with clinical, biomedical and imaging variables to improve the diagnosis and prognosis of RA.
