Prognostic role of baseline hemoglobin level for long-term mortality in newly diagnosed rheumatoid arthritis: a cohort study
Low hemoglobin levels at RA diagnosis independently predict 3-year mortality with clear dose-response relationships. These findings support the incorporation of hemoglobin assessment into initial RA evaluation algorithms to identify high-risk patients warranting intensified monitoring and aggressive therapeutic intervention.
