Derivation and Internal Validation of an Expanded Cardiovascular Risk Prediction Score for Rheumatoid Arthritis A Consortium of Rheumatology Researchers of North America Registry Study

摘要

Objective. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but CV risk prediction scores derived from the general population do not accurately predict CV risk in RA patients. The goal of these analyses was to develop and internally validate an expanded CV risk prediction score for RA.
