Abstract
We provide the most recent national multiple-cause-of-death analysis assessing the mortality profile of RA patients. Our results show that mortality related to cardiovascular, respiratory, and infectious diseases is highly associated with RA. These data support the need to expand new strategies to prevent infectious and cardiovascular diseases in order to improve survival of RA patients.
