Mortality following heart failure for RA and non-RA subjects at 30 days, 6 months and 1 year^*

Time Point	Mortality		HR (95% CI)
Time Point	RA N = 103	Non-RA N = 852	Model 1	Model 2
30 days	15.5%	6.6%	2.39 (1.36, 4.18)	1.66 (0.85, 3.22)
6 months	25.2%	14.0%	1.93 (1.26, 2.95)	1.70 (1.05, 2.76)
1 year	35.0%	19.3%	2.02 (1.40, 2.90)	1.89 (1.26, 2.84)

The column labeled Model 1 displays Cox regression models adjusted for age, sex, and calendar year. The column labeled Model 2 displays models also adjusted for use of cardiovascular medications and ischemic heart disease. RA = rheumatoid arthritis; OR = odds ratio; CI = confidence interval.
