Trends of hospitalization for serious infections in patients with rheumatoid arthritis in the US between 1993 and 2013
Conclusions: Between 1993 and 2013, the proportion of hospitalizations for infections among RA patients appeared to decline for pneumonia and OIs, with a slight decrease in UTI, a slight increase in SSTI, and a substantial increase in hospitalizations with sepsis. Our results are consistent with previous reports that the sensitivity of sepsis coding has increased over time. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Patients' attitudes and experiences of disease ‐modifying anti‐rheumatic drugs in rheumatoid arthritis and spondyloarthritis: A qualitative synthesis
Conclusions: Patients perceive DMARDs as strong medications with alarming side effects that intensify their disease identity. Trust and confidence in medical care, positive experiences with DMARDS among other patients, and an expectation that medications will help maintain participation in life can motivate patients to use DMARDs. Creating a supportive environment for patients to voice their concerns may improve treatment satisfaction, adherence and health outcomes. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
