A Cross-sectional Survey on the Preference of Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis for Route of Administration of Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drugs: Oral Target-Specific Versus Parenteral Biologic.

Abstract

RA patients preferred to continue treatment with an administration route they have already experienced. However, when choosing an unexperienced route, significantly more patients preferred the oral route. Our results strengthen the understanding of patient preferences, which could improve drug adherence, compliance, and disease outcome.
