Association between ischemic stroke and seropositive rheumatoid arthritis in Korea: A nationwide longitudinal cohort study.

The purpose of this longitudinal follow-up study was to investigate the risk of ischemic stroke nationwide in patients with seropositive rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and controls who were matched in age and sex. Patient data were collected from the National Health Insurance Service (NHIS) Health Screen...
