title: The incidence of Dupuytren's disease in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
abstract: Some conditions commonly associated with Dupuytren's disease are well-known. No attention has been paid to conditions with a significantly low incidence of Dupuytren's. A large number of patients with rheumatoid arthritis were studied, and were found to have a statistically significantly lower incidence of Dupuytren's disease, than was observed by the same clinicians in age, sex, matched controlled patients.
