Rheumatoid Arthritis Deaths Have Decreased
While disability rates among people with RA have risen slightly, mortality rates are declining for the first time in years.
Many study findings about rheumatoid arthritis (RA) sound negative, but patients with the disease are now getting some encouraging news.
A study published last month on the progress and advancements in RA treatment and management revealed that for the first time in years the mortality rate among people with RA has decreased.
Researchers also noted that people with the disease experience much less disability than in decades past.
