description Highlights Patients with rheumatoid arthritis have higher rate of comorbidity which may impair their quality of life and affects disease outcomes. Rheumatic Disease Comorbidity Index (RDCI) is an excellent tool to predict extra-articular manifestations and signs of poor prognosis such as erosions, coxitis, and atlanto-axial dislocation. An early screening and an adequate management of comorbidities may result in better disease outcomes.
