Abstract

Data are presented on survivorship and causes of death of 475 patients with rheumatioid arthritis, first seen betwen 1954 and 1966. The observed cumulative survival rate was lower than expected in each sex at each year of follow‐up, particularly in the later years. The adjusted rate was generally lower in males than in females. Eighteen of the 86 deaths due to known causes were attributed to infection, a significantly excessive proportion.
