Summary

The objective is to measure time delay from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and time to disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drug treatments in Turkish patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The investigators will also evaluate actual work limitation status of patients and impact of demographic and clinical factors on work limitations in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
