The risk of hospitalization for rheumatoid vasculitis was one\u2010third lower in 1998\u20132001 than in 1983\u20131987. The risk of hospitalization for splenectomy in Felty's syndrome was 71% lower in 1998\u20132001 than in 1983\u20131987. There were no significant decreases in the rates of hospitalization for cervical spine surgery or total knee arthroplasty (primary and revision), although in 1998\u20132001 there was a reversal of the trend of increasing rates of total knee arthroplasty. The risk of hospitalization for primary total knee arthroplasty was significantly lower in 1998\u20132001 than in 1990\u20131993 (rate ratio 0.90, 95% confidence interval 0.86\u20130.95; <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.0001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Rates of hospitalization for rheumatoid vasculitis and splenectomy in Felty's syndrome have decreased over the past 19 years, and there has been a recent decrease in the rates of primary total knee arthroplasty in patients with RA. Although several factors may account for these decreases, these findings suggest that since the early 1980s, the long\u2010term health outcomes of patients with RA have
