If left uncontrolled, inflammatory joint diseases can cause progressive structural joint damage and irreversible disability. Early identification and treatment initiation is crucial for successful outcomes in patients with inflammatory joint disease. In this symposium expert faculty will discuss the rationale for long-term disease control and how to improve standards of care based on shared decision making, patient characteristics and preferences. Recommendations on how to select treatments will be discussed in light of the latest clinical evidence.
