这组住院患者的死亡率高于从一般人群中抽取的预期死亡率。这主要是因为年轻人，特别是男性，比预期更快地死亡，而50岁以上患者的寿命没有明显改变。类风湿性关节炎的死亡原因与一般人群的原因不同。心脏瓣膜病、各种感染、肾脏疾病和肺栓塞是常见的死亡原因。
This group of hospitalized patients had a higher mortality than would be expected if the group had been drawn from the general population. This was found to be due largely to the fact that younger people, particularly males, succumbed more rapidly than expected whereas the longevity of patients over 50 was not noticeably altered. The causes of death in rheumatoid arthritis are different from the causes in the population at large. Notable for their frequency as causes of death were valvular heart disease, infections of all sorts, renal disease and pulmonary embolism.
