Glucocorticoid Dose Thresholds Associated With All‐Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Rheumatoid Arthritis

Glucocorticoid use in RA is associated with a dose-dependent increase in mortality rates, with a daily threshold dose of 8 mg, at which the number of deaths increased in a dose-dependent manner. These findings may assist clinicians in selecting the appropriate glucocorticoid dosage for RA patients who require these agents.
