Abstract
The rheumatic diseases not only bring
pain, disability and poorer quality of
life, but also a premature mortality
which is often overlooked. Alongside
mortality due to the direct complications
of disease comes an increase in
deaths related to specific therapies and
indirect causes such as cancer and cardiovascular
mortality. By comparing
mortality and its causes in two of the
most common inflammatory arthritides,
rheumatoid arthritis and ankylosing
spondylitis, common threads emerge
which give us insight into the impact of
chronic inflammatory disease and new
directions for patient management.
