About the 3e Initiative in Rheumatology
The aim of the 3e (evidence, expertise and exchange) initiative is a multi-national effort to develop recommendations for the management of musculoskeletal disorders.
Unlike guidelines or recommendations developed by a limited panel of experts in the field, the 3e initiative involved a large number of experts, combined with practicing rheumatologists, who addressed specific and detailed questions relevant to every-day clinical practice.
While the current 3e initiative focuses on undifferentiated peripheral inflammatory arthritis (UPIA) initiative, previous initiatives focused on the investigation and follow-up of ankylosing spondylitis and methotrexate in rheumatic disorders.
The 3e Methodology was a comprehensive, evidence-based process. To learn more click here.
