Excess mortality persists in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:To investigate the causes and risk of death in a large cohort of Korean patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). METHODS:Patients in the Hanyang BAE (Bae registry of Autoimmune diseases for Epidemiology) RA cohort who fulfilled the American College of Rheumatology criteria were analyzed. A total of 2355 patients were enrolled from October 2001 to December 2015. Mortality data were derived by linking with data from the Korean National Statistical Office. Standardized mortality ratio was estimated by dividing observed deaths by expected number of deaths in the general population. RESULTS:Over the observation period, 225 deaths were reported. Total age- and sex-adjusted standardized mortality ratio was 1.65 (95% confidence interval 1.44-1.87). The most common cause of death was malignancy (40 cases; 17.8%), followed by respiratory disease (38 cases; 16.9%) and cardiovascular disease (32 cases; 14.2%). Mortality rate and causes of death differed according to year and age of RA onset. Compared with survivors, individuals who died were more likely to be male, smokers, diagnosed with RA at an older age, and to have long disease duration, higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein, higher rheumatoid factor positivity rate, more severe radiographic damage, and more comorbidities. CONCLUSION:The mortality rate of patients with RA remains higher than that of the general population. Therefore, to improve the survival of patients with RA, attention should be paid to the management of comorbidities as well as to the RA itself.
