✦ Synopsis

To compare the clinical, radiologic, and serologic expression of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in 2 different populations.

Methods. Standard protocols and assessment criteria were used in this study of 108 Greek and 107 British patients with RA.

Results. British patients had more severe articular involvement than did Greeks, as judged by the duration of morning stiffness (P C O.OOS), grip strength (P < O.OOOl), and the numbers of swollen (P C 0.001) and tender (P C 0.0001) joints. The British RA patients also had more severe joint damage on radiologic examination, as evidenced by Steinbrocker stage I11 (P C 0.005) and IV (P C 0.025) disease and had more extraarticular manifestations (P < 0.0001), including rheumatoid nodules (P C 0.
