Journal ArticleDOI
The mortality of rheumatoid arthritis
Frederick Wolfe,Donald M. Mitchell,John Sibley,James F. Fries,Daniel A. Bloch,Catherine A. Williams,Patricia W. Spitz,May Haga,S M Kleinheksel,M. A. Cathey +9 more
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
Systemic lupus erythematosus and the risk of malignancy
J Cibere,John Sibley,May Haga +2 more
TL;DR: Increased risk of malignancy, notably non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and perhaps cervical cancer, should be regarded as a complication of SLE.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rheumatoid arthritis and the risk of malignancy.
TL;DR: In this cohort of RA patients, colorectal cancer was detected in only half the expected number of patients, and the overall risk of malignancy was reduced in this RA cohort, which may be related to long-term nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drug (NSAID) use in RA.
Journal Article
The clinical course of Felty's syndrome compared to matched controls.
TL;DR: In a cohort of 919 patients with definite or classic rheumatoid arthritis followed prospectively since 1966, 36 patients with Felty's syndrome were identified and their clinical course was compared to that of 72 matched controls.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lymphoma and luekemia in rheumatoid arthritis: are they associated with azathioprine, cyclophosphamide, or methotrexate?
Catherine A. Williams,Daniel A. Bloch,John Sibley,May Haga,Frederick Wolfe,Jean-Pierre Raynauld,Gurkirpal Singh,Anne R. Hickey,James F. Fries +8 more
TL;DR: It is suggested but not proved that RA patients taking azathioprine and methotrexate may have an increased risk of developing lymphoma, but even if this increased risk can be confirmed, it accounts for only a small proportion of the greatly increased incidence of these malignancies in RA.
