Key clinical point: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with a high risk for end-stage renal disease, with the risk being prominent among relatively young and comorbidity-free individuals and those who consume alcohol.
Major finding: Patients with RA were at a significantly higher risk for end-stage renal disease compared with those without RA (adjusted hazard ratio 2.153; 95% CI 1.948-2.379), particularly among patients who were relatively young (Pinteraction < .001), those without comorbidities (Pinteraction < .001), and those who consumed alcohol (Pinteraction = .021).
Study details: This retrospective population-based study included 154,997 patients with RA and 774,985 age- and sex-matched individuals without RA.
Disclosures: This study was supported by grants from the Chonnam National University Hospital Biomedical Research Institute and National Research Foundation of Korea, funded by the Korea Government. The authors declared no conflicts of interest.
