However, studies on its associations with all-cause mortality, cardiovascular disease (CVD), and venous thromboembolism (VTE) among patients with RA are scarce. Our aim was to evaluate the relation of knee arthroplasty or hip arthroplasty to all-cause mortality, relative risk of CVD and incident VTE among patients with RA. We included patients with RA (ages\u226520 years) from a large United Kingdom primary care database (i.e., IQVIA Medical Research Database). The primary outcome was all-cause mortality (n\u2009=\u20094,774 for knee arthroplasty, n\u2009=\u20093,362 for hip arthroplasty). The secondary outcomes included incident CVD (n\u2009=\u20094,350 for knee arthroplasty, n\u2009=\u20092,390 for hip arthroplasty) and incident VTE (n\u2009=\u20094,574 for knee arthroplasty, n\u2009=\u20093,174 for hip arthroplasty). We conducted propensity score-matched cohort studies to compare the risks of each outcome between subjects with and without knee arthroplasty (n\u2009=\u20092,387 each) and those with and without hip arthroplasty (n\u2009=\u20091,681 each), respectively. We found that subjects with knee arthroplasty had a 23% lower risk of mortality than those without knee arthroplasty (HR: 0.77, 95%CI: 0.65\u20130.90). Similarly, a lower, albeit non-statistically significant, risk of mortality was observed among subjects with hip arthroplasty than those without arthroplasty (HR: 0.87, 95%CI: 0.73\u20131.04). Compared with those without arthroplasty, subjects with knee or hip arthroplasty had a lower risk of CVD. The corresponding HRs were 0.86 (95%CI: 0.73\u20131.01) and 0.84 (95%CI: 0.69\u20131.02), respectively. Both subjects with knee or hip arthroplasty showed a higher risk of VTE than their counterparts (HR for knee arthroplasty: 1.63 [95%CI: 1.23\u20132.17]; HR for hip arthroplasty: 2.19 [95%CI: 1.54\u20133.11]). The associations of arthroplasty with the risks of mortality, CVD and VTE were generally consistent across strata of age and sex, with HR ranges from 0.71\u20133.75 for knee arthroplasty and 0.66\u20133.36 for hip arthroplasty. In this large population-based cohort of patients with RA, knee arthroplasty was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality, while both knee and hip arthroplasty were associated with a higher risk of VTE. No significant associations were observed with CVD. These findings highlight potential long-term benefits and risks of joint replacement in RA, but given the observational design and possibility of residual confounding, the results should be interpreted as associations rather than causal effects. Further studies are warranted to confirm these observations and to better understand the mechanisms underlying these associations.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1371\/journal.pone.0335453","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,7]],"date-time":"2025-11-07T18:40:18Z","timestamp":1762540818000},"page":"e0335453","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1371\/journal.pone.corrections_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Reduced mortality but elevated venous thromboembolism risk following knee and hip arthroplasty in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: A general population-based cohort study"],"prefix":"10.1371","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Xinjia","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Na","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dongxing","family":"Xie","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Hui","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0293-1565","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Haochen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"340","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,11,7]]},"reference":[{"issue":"10","key":"pone.0335453.ref001","first-page":"591","article-title":"Global epidemiology of rheumatoid arthritis","volume":"18","author":"A Finckh","year":"2022","journal-title":"Nat Rev Rheumatol"},{"issue":"9","key":"pone.0335453.ref002","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1524","DOI":"10.1136\/annrheumdis-2011-200726","article-title":"Risk of incident cardiovascular events in patients with rheumatoid arthritis: a meta-analysis of observational studies","volume":"71","author":"JA Avina-Zubieta","year":"2012","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0335453.ref003","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"8","DOI":"10.1136\/ard.2010.142133","article-title":"Cardiovascular disease in rheumatoid arthritis: state of the art and future perspectives","volume":"70","author":"GD Kitas","year":"2011","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"issue":"13","key":"pone.0335453.ref004","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1350","DOI":"10.1001\/2012.jama.11741","article-title":"Risk of venous thromboembolism in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and association with disease duration and hospitalization","volume":"308","author":"ME Holmqvist","year":"2012","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"issue":"9812","key":"pone.0335453.ref005","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"244","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(11)61306-8","article-title":"Risk of pulmonary embolism in patients with autoimmune disorders: a nationwide follow-up study from Sweden","volume":"379","author":"B Z\u00f6ller","year":"2012","journal-title":"Lancet"},{"issue":"1","key":"pone.0335453.ref006","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"85","DOI":"10.1136\/annrheumdis-2017-212131","article-title":"Mortality following new-onset Rheumatoid Arthritis: has modern Rheumatology had an impact?","volume":"77","author":"M Holmqvist","year":"2018","journal-title":"Ann Rheum Dis"},{"issue":"9","key":"pone.0335453.ref007","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1303","DOI":"10.1161\/01.CIR.0000054612.26458.B2","article-title":"Cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in women diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis","volume":"107","author":"DH Solomon","year":"2003","journal-title":"Circulation"},{"issue":"11","key":"pone.0335453.ref008","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1571","DOI":"10.1002\/art.24836","article-title":"Does rheumatoid arthritis equal diabetes mellitus as an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease?
