So I think we have robust literature to support that early identification and early aggressive treatment of RA can improve outcomes, reduce disability and really try to, you know, get the disease under control before there's damage, so it's really important and it extends to the primary care clinicians, too, to really try to identify and refer people as soon as possible and try to get treatment started with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs as soon as it's diagnosed.
