Table 3 Odds of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Hospitalization by Type of Rheumatic Disease for People of All Races in Alaska, 2015–2018

Type of Rheumatic Disease*	Number with this Rheumatic Disease	Number (%) with Any CVD Hospitalization	Odds Ratio (95% Confidence Interval)	p-value
None	61,896	7845 (12.7%)	Reference
Osteoarthritis	11,943	1359 (11.4%)	0.88 (0.83–0.94)	< 0.01
Gout	2880	870 (30.2%)	2.98 (2.74–3.24)	< 0.01
Rheumatoid arthritis	1710	246 (14.4%)	1.16 (1.01–1.33)	0.04
Lupus or MCTD	384	68 (17.7%)	1.48 (1.12–1.93)	< 0.01
Spondyloarthritis	314	33 (10.5%)	0.81 (0.55–1.16)	0.28
Vasculitis	165	45 (27.3%)	2.58 (1.79–3.67)	< 0.01
Sjögren syndrome	145	15 (10.3%)	0.79 (0.43–1.36)	0.48
Systemic sclerosis	72	15 (20.8%)	1.81 (0.95–3.25)	0.07
Myopathy	45	8 (17.8%)	1.49 (0.60–3.25)	0.41

*One patient can be in multiple rows, if multiple types of rheumatic disease. Therefore, the number of patients with a diagnosis of osteoarthritis is higher in Table 2 than in Table 1, as Table 1 restricts to diagnosis of osteoarthritis alone
