Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS: The mean age of CPDD onset was 69.5 ± 11.4 years, with a mean RA age onset of 53.9 ± 16 years, demonstrating a mean lag of 13.4 ± 10.9 years between diagnoses. The majority of RA patients were diagnosed with CPDD based on the presence of radiographic chondrocalcinosis (15/21). The most commonly involved joint was the knee, followed by the wrist, hip, and shoulder. CONCLUSIONS: These data show that the diagnosis of RA often precedes the diagnosis of CPDD. This asynchronous presentation taken together with the classic age of onset for CPDD and typical pattern of joint involvement supports the hypothesis that CPDD develops in RA patients through similar processes as those that cause the idiopathic forms of this disease.
