Özet

ObjectiveStatins have antiinflammatory/immunomodulatory effects that may be useful in preventing rheumatoid arthritis (RA), but previous observational studies about the risk of RA with statin use yielded conflicting results. The aim of this study was to determine whether high-intensity statin treatment is associated with reduced risk of RA.
