Summary

This observational study will explore the Swedish national population of patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on infliximab maintenance therapy in order to identify patients who may be eligible for a dose reduction study. Patients will be asked a variety of questions regarding their treatment dosing and disease activity, and then asked whether or not they would consider participating in a dose reduction study. Patients in this study will be described in terms of demographic and disease characteristics.
