All-cause and cause-specific mortality of patients with rheumatoid arthritis in Korea: A nation-wide population-based study
2022, Joint Bone SpineCitation Excerpt :These characteristics are consistent with the previous findings associated with increased mortality [9–11]. A higher SMR among men than women was consistent with findings from other Asian studies [16,17] but the gender effect has been controversial so far [23]. RA patients of Korea showed the highest vulnerability for death during their 60s and 70s.
Interstitial Lung Diseases and the Impact of Gender
2021, Clinics in Chest MedicineCitation Excerpt :Studies investigating quality of life during the disease course showed increased rates of depression and worse quality of life in females with rheumatoid arthritis compared with males, but were inconclusive for sex-dependent differences in patients with systemic sclerosis.119,121 Finally, male sex portended poorer prognosis in both rheumatoid arthritis and systemic sclerosis.122–124 LAM has been established as an ILD occurring almost exclusively in females either sporadically or in association with tuberous sclerosis complex.125

2015, Medicina (Lithuania)Citation Excerpt :The extent, to which age and gender add to the risk for increased mortality in RA, is still not clear. The results of the review conducted by Anderson [22] failed to show a clear association between gender, age and mortality, except for the increased mortality among elderly women [23]. Nevertheless, according to the review by Goronzy et al. by several immune aging biomarkers, the immune system in patients with RA is prematurely aged by more than 20 years [24].
Recurrent embolic strokes associated with vertical atlantoaxial subluxation in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis: A case report and review of literature
2013, Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular DiseasesCitation Excerpt :Atlantoaxial subluxation (AAS), which is because of destruction of the transverse ligament, with subsequent laxity, occurs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).1 AAS may cause severe neurological morbidity, including paresthesia, cervical myelopathy, vertebrobasilar insufficiency, and even sudden death because of brainstem and spinal cord compression.1-3 Transverse ligament destruction may cause anterior or vertical subluxation, at 5% and 1.4%, respectively.1
