Description
Aim: To address the protocol of recommendations for the use of ultrasonography (US) in the management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in routine practice. Methods: The present study is a protocol design for practical guidelines. Based on a systematic literature review, the scientific committee (composed of 6 experts on US) decided on key questions which will be used to develop recommendations. These recommendations will be submitted to a group of experts in US in rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases using the Delphi method. This step will lead to preliminary recommendations. The next step will be to submit the preliminary guideline to an expanded group of US experts to check their relevance. The level of agreement of the experts will be recorded during a web-based meeting. Results: Following two rounds of the Delphi method, a consensus will be addressed. The latter will i) Highlight the use of US for the diagnosis of RA in an early stage of the disease; ii) Define the role of US during follow-up; and iii) Underline the importance of US for the management of clinical remission. Conclusion: These recommendations will harmonize and optimize clinical practice and management of RA patients. © 2023 Maison du Medicine. All rights reserved.
