Journal ArticleDOI

Mortality in rheumatoid arthritis. Increased in the early course of disease, in ischaemic heart disease and in pulmonary fibrosis

TL;DR: There was a modest increase in mortality in RA, mainly in the first 7 yrs, but treatment-related deaths were low, and risk factors included less favourable socio-economic status, markers of disease severity and diminished function within the first year.
Journal ArticleDOI

How does functional disability in early rheumatoid arthritis (RA) affect patients and their lives? Results of 5 years of follow-up in 732 patients from the Early RA Study (ERAS)

TL;DR: Clinical profiles of RA patients treated with conventional drug therapy over 5 yr showed that a small proportion of patients do badly functionally and in terms of life events, whereas around 40% do relatively well.
Journal ArticleDOI

Which patients stop working because of rheumatoid arthritis? Results of five years' follow up in 732 patients from the Early RA Study (ERAS)

TL;DR: Nearly half of the patients with RA were in paid employment at onset, work disability was an adverse outcome for a third of these patients by five years, and manual work and high baseline HAQ were important predictors for this.
Journal ArticleDOI

Interstitial lung disease has a poor prognosis in rheumatoid arthritis: results from an inception cohort

TL;DR: RA-ILD is an important and early feature of RA, related to disease activity and has a poor prognosis, and further studies are required to determine whether screening for pulmonary disease would identify patients at an earlier stage.
