Objectives. RA is known to be associated with a high cardiovascular (CV) risk. Longitudinal data suggest that RA disease course may have become milder over the past decades. Thus, we set out to estimate the magnitude of the overall increase in CV mortality associated with RA and to determine whether it has decreased over the past 50 years.Methods. We performed a systematic review and a meta-analysis of literature in MEDLINE and EMBASE databases from January 1960 to November 2008. All cohort studies reporting CV mortality risk were included. We then calculated pooled standardized mortality ratios (SMRs) of CV mortality, and determined their evolution with time using meta-regression analysis.Results. Seventeen studies were analysed, corresponding to a total of 91916 patients. The overall pooled SMR was 1.6 (95% Cl 1.5, 1.8; I-2=93%; P(het)
