Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) refers to diseases that lead to early disability and reduce life expectancy [4]. Prospects for improving the prognosis in RA are
associated with the initiation of basic therapy at an early, pre-destructive stage of the disease (no later than 3 months after the onset of the disease). Currently, largescale clinical trials have obtained indisputable evidence of the benefits of such a
therapeutic strategy [3, 5, 6].
