Trends in Hospitalization Rates, Major Causes of Hospitalization, and In-Hospital Mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis in the United States From 2000 to 2014.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate national trends in hospitalizations and in-hospital mortality in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Methods

National Inpatient Sample from 2000-2014 and United States Census data were used to study temporal trends in adult RA hospitalizations, reasons for hospitalizations, and in-hospital mortality.

Results

The data represented 183 983 hospitalizations with a primary diagnosis of RA. The annual rates of hospitalization for the primary diagnosis of RA decreased from 76.54 admissions per 1 million in 2000 to 29.96 per 1 million in 2014 (P trend < 0.0001). The hospital mortality rate declined from 0.70% to 0.41% (P trend < 0.0001) in this group. With a primary or nonprimary diagnosis of RA, the mortality rate ranged between 1.95 and 2.87 (P trend 0.08). For
