==Notable studies== A 2019 South Korean study of 242 patients found that "[p]atients with BI have 82 times strong possibility of radiologic confirmed [cervicomedullary junction compression] (CMJ), while [atlantoaxial subluxation] (AAS) has 6-fold and pannus formation has the 3-fold possibility. Compared to the low incidence of BI, AAS and pannus formation have more proportion in CMJ compression. Furthermore, wrist joint erosion was correlated with vertical subluxation (VS) and AAS." It went on to conclude that "BI has a very strong possibility of CMJ compression, while AAS and pannus formation have a high proportion in CMJ compression. Hence bilateral wrist joint erosion can be used as an indicator for the timing of screening test for cervical involvement. We suggest the early recommendation of cervical spine examination for the diagnosis of cervical involvement in order to prevent morbidity and mortality."<ref>{{Cite journal | last = Chung | first = Jaewoo | last2 = Bak | first2 = Koang Hum | last3 = Yi | first3 = Hyeong-Joong | last4 = Chun | first4 = Hyoung Joon | last5 = Ryu | first5 = Je Il | last6 = Han | first6 = Myung-Hoon | date = 2019-08-09 | title = Upper Cervical Subluxation and Cervicomedullary Junction Compression in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis |url =https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31392874 | journal = Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society|doi=10.3340/jkns.2018.0234|issn=2005-3711|pmid=31392874}}</ref>
