【 摘 要 】

The history, main issues and results of the two tight control CAMERA (Computer-Assisted Management in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis) studies are described. The first CAMERA study showed favourable and superior effects of a tight control methotrexate-based strategy, compared to that of a conventional methotrexate-based strategy. In CAMERA-II, the results were even better when adding 10 mg prednisone daily for 2 years to the methotrexate-based, tight control strategy. In all, the CAMERA studies have shown good results in the treatment of early RA patients with conventional anchor drugs, aiming for remission, making use of a feasible and simple computer decision program.
