FEATURES OF THE PREVALENCE OF RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS (LITERATURE REVIEW)

Abstract

According to the results of modern research, it is obvious that rheumatoid arthritis is widespread among the world population. The polymorphism and severity of clinical manifestations, with a high incidence of extra-articular complications, inevitably leading to an increase in the number of disability and mortality in RA patients, emphasize the importance and need for a deeper study of this complex medical and social problem. In turn, this will increase the level of medical care provided in the early prognosis of the development of severe forms and treatment of rheumatoid arthritis, which will lead to a significant improvement in the RA patients’ life quality.
