Rheumatoid arthritis and the risk of 90-day readmission after hospitalization for heart failure
Main finding · 90-day readmissionResult — go to the resultAdjusted odds ratio 1.16 95 % CI 1.13–1.19Authors' conclusion
We demonstrated a significant association of RA with both 90-day readmission and in-hospital mortality in HF rehospitalizations.
