Intervention effects were calculated as standardized between-group (i.

Objectives: Osteoarticular infection (OAI) is a feared complication of Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia (SAB) and is associated with poor outcomes. We aimed to explore the risk of OAI and death following SAB in patients with and without rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and to identify risk factors for OAI in patients with RA.

Methods: Danish nationwide cohort study of all patients with microbiologically verified first-time SAB between 2006-18.
