Impact of Seropositivity on Mortality and Extra-Articular Manifestations in Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Nationwide Propensity-Matched Cohort Study
This study highlights significant differences in several clinical outcomes between seropositive and seronegative RA patients. These findings highlight the more aggressive nature of seropositive disease and its extra-articular involvement and reinforce the importance of autoantibody status in prognostication and risk stratification for RA patients.
