Temporal Trends and Short‐ and Long‐Term Mortality of People With Acute Myocardial Infarction and Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Nationwide Cohort Study
We found no meaningful disparities in inpatient care according to the presence of RA; however, those with RA have elevated long-term all-cause mortality post-AMI. Our findings suggest that the mortality burden of RA post-AMI is not driven by the quality of AMI care during admission and is likely driven by the progressive nature of the comorbidities and the complications of treatments associated with RA.
