Women with rheumatoid arthritis often get shortchanged on preventive health care screening for other disorders.

Half of the women with rheumatoid arthritis received Pap smears at recommended intervals in a long-range study of the medical records of 264 patients who lived in and received their medical care throughout the community of Rochester, Minn.

Eight percent of the patients had mammograms, and 15% got influenza vaccinations, according to Dr. Sherine E. Gabriel, who presented the study at the annual meeting of the American College of Rheumatology.
