At EULAR 2025, a clinical tool was introduced that may aid in identifying patients with unexplained joint pain who are at a higher risk of developing rheumatoid arthritis (RA) within 1 year. The tool utilizes six variables to estimate individual risk and support earlier intervention, providing a potential standardized and validated approach to estimate risk and guide physician decision-making. This information may help to facilitate timely treatment and potentially delay or prevent RA onset.
