Original Source: Rheumatoid Arthritis-Interstitial Lung Disease-Associated Mortality.
RATIONALE: Mortality rates from rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease are largely unknown. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine mortality rates from rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease in the United States from 1988 through 2004. Methods/ MEASUREMENTS: Using data from the National Center for Health Statistics, we calculated age-adjusted mortality rates from the deaths of persons with rheumatoid arthritis-associated interstitial lung disease, determined the prevalence...
