Is Rheumatoid Arthritis a Cardiovascular Risk Equivalent to Diabetes?
ConclusionFindings from the present study suggest that while CVD risk in RA is elevated, it is lower in magnitude compared to the CVD risk associated with diabetes. It therefore may not be appropriate to consider RA a diabetes risk‐equivalent with respect to hyperlipidemia management.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Cerebrovascular Events in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
ConclusionCerVEs, the fourth most frequent NP event in SLE, are usually attributable to lupus. In contrast to good physician reported outcomes, patients report a sustained reduction in health‐related quality of life following CerVEs.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Association of Rheumatoid Factors With Subclinical and Clinical Atherosclerosis in African American Women: The Multiethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
ConclusionRA‐related autoantibodies are associated with subclinical and clinical atherosclerosis in African American women from a community‐based non‐RA cohort, indicating autoimmune factors may play a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis.

Risk of Myocardial Infarction and Stroke in Newly Diagnosed Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A General Population ‐Based Study
Conclusion: Patients with SLE have an increased risk of cardiovascular events, particularly during the first year after diagnosis. Increased vigilance in monitoring for these potentially fatal outcomes and their modifiable risk factors is recommended in this patient population. This article is protected by copyright.

Disease Outcomes and Care Fragmentation among Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Conclusion: In this cross‐site cohort of SLE patients, care fragmentation is associated with increased risk of severe infection and comorbidities. These results suggest that improved health information exchange could positively impact outcomes for SLE patients. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Comorbidities in patients with Primary Sj ögren's Syndrome and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A comparative registries‐based study
Conclusions: pSS patients have consistently less serious CV comorbidity burden and a lower prevalence of severe infection than those with SLE. In contrast, their risk of lymphoma was greater. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

Does Renin ‐Angiotensin System Blockade Protect Lupus Nephritis Patients From Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Events? A Case–Control Study

Patterns and consequences of multimorbidity in the general population: There is no chronic disease management without rheumatic disease management
Conclusion: Our study emphasizes RMDs as a major presence in multimorbidity in the general population. All multimorbidity patterns were associated with a wide set of adverse health outcomes. Management strategies for the patient with chronic cardiometabolic, respiratory or depressive conditions should also target RMDs. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.

What to Expect When Expecting With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): A Population‐Based Study of Maternal and Fetal Outcomes in SLE and Pre‐SLE
ConclusionOur data demonstrate that adverse maternal and fetal outcomes are more common in SLE pregnancies. Furthermore, these unfavorable outcomes are observed in pregnancies occurring prior to the diagnosis of SLE. Thus, the underlying immunologic profile of SLE and alterations preceding clinical SLE may contribute to these pregnancy complications.

Role of Osteoarthritis, Comorbidity, and Pain in Determining Functional Limitations in Older Populations: European Project on Osteoarthritis
ConclusionThese findings demonstrate that while comorbidity is strongly and independently associated with functional limitations, it does not affect the OA–physical function association. Hip/knee OA is associated with self‐reported impairment in physical function, which was only partially mediated by pain. Its association with physical function, as evaluated by the walking test, was instead completely mediated by pain.

Burden of Comorbidity in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus in the UK, 1999–2012
ConclusionPeople with SLE in the UK have a greater burden of comorbidity and are more likely to develop CVD, stroke, ESRF, cancer, osteoporosis, and infection than people of the same age and sex.
