Jack-I may have mentioned this in the past but again wonder if the improvement of CVD in RA patients may be a result of the markedly decreased use of NSAIDs as background therapy in RA patients on cDMARDs and bDMARDs since 2000.-D,Knapp
I think yours is a very valid point as research has shown a definite decline in NSAID use after the VIOXX/Cox-2 FDA hearing. But are rheums using more low dose prednisone instead? Researchers should control for these issues in their analyses. Good Point! JC
