Abstract
Objective To explore the relationship between urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) and all-cause/specific-cause mortality among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods This study included 1354 RA patients in the National Health and Nutritional Examination Surveys (NHANESs) during 1999-2018. The mortality status was assessed by linkage to death certificate data reported in the National Death Index (NDI) until December 31, 2019. Cox proportional...
