Abstract：Objective To explore the correlated risk factors of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients complicated with osteoporosis (OP), and provide basis for preventing OP. Methods Retrospectively 420 cases of RA were chosen and divided into the OP group (78 cases) and the the nonOP group (342 cases) according to with or without complication with OP. The correlated risk factors of RA complication with RA were respectively screened by single comparison method and multiple factors logistic regression method.Results The incidence rate of OP in RA patients within hospitalization was 18.6% (78/420). Multiple factors analysis result showed that the risk factors of RA complicated with OP included age (OR=2.200), course of disease (OR=2.591), number of joints involved (OR=4.855), Sharp score (OR=5.427), bone erosion score (OR=6.377) and ESR (OR=3.667). Conclusion RA patients have a high incidence rate of OP. To aim directly at these above high risk factors, we should early adopt prevention measures to cut down the incidence rates of OP and fracture, and improve the prognosis of RA patients.
