Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to prospectively evaluate RA activity using the assessment of change in DAS28 under local conditions in Slovakia in participants who are treated with subcutaneously administered tocilizumab pursuant to the recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Slovak Republic in order to better assess the disease activity and impairment of the joint function.

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Participants with age greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 years
* Participants with moderate to severe active RA (DAS28 \>=3.2) who did not respond sufficiently to or did not tolerate previous treatment with one or several disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs), irrespective of whether they were of biological or synthetic nature
* Participants eligible for the treatment with subcutaneously administered tocilizumab, as decided by the doctor in accordance with summary of product characteristics (SPC) and standard therapeutic procedures, who were not previously treated with tocilizumab and did not receive any other biological treatment for RA in the past either
* Assignment of participants for observation using the treatment described above is clearly separated from the physician's decision to prescribe the treatment to the patient.
* Pulmonologist's consent for chest X-ray and quantiferon test with commencement of biological treatment

Exclusion Criteria

* Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg,) hepatitis C virus (HCV) or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) positivity
* History of severe allergic or anaphylactic responses to human or humanized murine monoclonal antibodies
* History of intestinal ulcerations or diverticulitis
* Active hepatopathy with more than threefold increase of alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST)
* Thrombocytes \<100,000 per cubic milliliters (/mm\^3), less than (\<) 3,000 mm\^3, absolute neutrophil count \< 2,000 mm\^3
