This study was designed to determine whether the prevalence of vertebral deformities in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) treated with corticosteroids (Cs) is higher than in RA patients not receiving Cs therapy. This multicentre cross-sectional study included 205 patients with RA who were receiving Cs orally on a daily basis and 205 patients with RA who did not receive Cs, matched for sex and age. Vertebral deformities were scored according to the Kleerekoper method. Vertebral deformities were found in 52 (25%) patients on Cs and in 26 (13%) patients not on Cs. Sixteen (8%) patients in the group on Cs had experienced clinical manifestations of an acute vertebral fracture in the past vs only three patients (1.5%) among those not on Cs....
