To evaluate the mortality rate in a well defined hospital; based patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) over a three year period and to investigate the causes of death with their associated risk factors. A retrospective cross-sectional study for RA patients over a three year period (2006-2008) at King Abdulaziz University Hospital (KAUH) in Jeddah at the western region of Saudi Arabia (KSA). The causes of death and the associated co-morbidities were registered and compared statistically in relation to the mortality rate. Patients who fulfilled the criteria of the study were included (n=116). The mortality rate was 16%. The most important causes of death and contributing factors were cardiovascular system diseases and infections (58%), followed by respiratory system diseases (47%) and renal impairment (32%). The most common co-morbidities were diabetes mellitus, hypertension and obesity (p <0.001, 0.01, 0.03).
