Association of Rheumatoid Arthritis With Postfracture Mortality and Fracture-Related Care
Using data from hospitals in Western Australia, this study demonstrates that people with RA have worse survival after fracture, and, in contrast to expectation, this survival has not improved despite significant therapeutic advances over the past 40 years. Consequently, this study emphasizes the need to better understand and treat fractures in RA to improve the lives of these patients.
