Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Objective: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is closely associated with arthritis. This study aims to evaluate the correlation between COPD and mortality among participants with arthritis. Methods: The study included 11,298 participants from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 1999-2018, who self-reported having arthritis. Cox proportional hazard models were used to assess the association between COPD and mortality among participants with arthritis. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were plotted to compare survival probabilities between groups. Subgroup and sensitivity analyses were conducted to assess the robustness of the results. Results: =0.004). Conclusion: In the American population, arthritis patients with COPD have higher risks of all-cause and CVD mortality compared to those without COPD.
