The comparative one‐year performance of anti–tumor necrosis factor α drugs in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis: Results from a longitudinal, observational, multicenter study
Abstract
Objective: To compare the 1‐year retention rates of anti–tumor necrosis factor α (anti‐TNFα) medications in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), psoriatic arthritis (PsA), and ankylosing spondylitis (AS) with complementary analyses of the effect on health status. Methods: Our analyses comprised 847, 172, and 249 anti‐TNFα treatment courses in patients with RA, PsA, and AS, respectively. Crude drug survival was compared and hazard ratios (HRs) for treatment termination were calculated with adjustments for age, sex, investigator's global assessment, and concomitant methotrexate (MTX). Adjusted changes in health‐related quality of life (HRQOL) were compared among the groups. Results: Unadjusted 1‐year retention rates were 65.4%, 77.3%, and 77.5% in the RA, PsA, and AS groups, respectively. The adjusted HRs for treatment termination were 0.76 (95% confidence interval [95% CI] 0.53–1.07) for PsA versus RA and 0.66 (95% CI 0.47–0.92) for AS versus RA. High baseline disease activity and female sex were significantly associated with premature treatment termination, whereas concomitant MTX was associated with better drug survival. However, the impact of MTX was apparent for RA and PsA, but not for AS in stratified analyses. The improvements in HRQOL were superior in patients with PsA and AS compared with RA. Conclusion: Our results suggest that survival of anti‐TNFα treatment is superior in AS and PsA patients compared with RA patients. Larger improvements in HRQOL in patients with spondylarthritides may contribute to the differences in drug survival. Concomitant MTX was associated with better retention rates in RA and PsA patients, but not AS patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
