Journal ArticleDOI

The mortality of rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: Mortality rates are increased at least 2-fold in RA, and are linked to clinical severity, with a large excess of deaths attributable to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Survival, prognosis, and causes of death in rheumatoid arthritis

TL;DR: It is indicated that rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic disabling disease, is also associated with a major decrease in survivorship, and treatment with gold or prednisone did not seem to affect survivorship or cause of death.
Journal ArticleDOI

The development of disability in rheumatoid arthritis.

TL;DR: It is suggested that it is possible to identify, early in the disease course, those patients who are likely to develop severe disability, and that "disease-modifying" therapy might well be initiated earlier in such patients and used consistently throughout the subsequent treatment.
Journal ArticleDOI

The progression of erosion and joint space narrowing scores in rheumatoid arthritis during the first twenty-five years of disease.

TL;DR: The average annual rate of progression of the total radiologic score, which sums erosion and joint space abnormalities and has a maximum possible score of 314, was approximately 4 units per year over the first 25 years after onset; this progression was more rapid in the earlier years of disease and slightly slower in the later years.
