According to a recent research, it has been observed that environmental air pollution was a determinant of poor response to biological treatment (biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs [bDMARDs]) in patients with chronic inflammatory arthritides (CIA).
The study is published in the ACR Open Rheumatology Journal.
