Abstract:AimTo explore the association between Metabolic Score for Insulin Resistance (METS-IR) and the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) death in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).MethodsThis retrospective cohort study extracted data on 1,218 RA patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. The weighted univariate and multivariate Cox regression model was established to explore the association between METS-IR and CVD mortality. Subgroup analysis was performed in terms of age, gender, bod… Show more
