Infection Risk and Safety of Corticosteroid Use
Open accessAbstract
Synopsis Corticosteroids are frequently used to treat rheumatic diseases. Their use comes with a number of well-established risks including osteoporosis, avascular necrosis, glaucoma, and diabetes. The risk of infection is of utmost concern and is well-documented, although randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of short term and lower dose steroids have generally shown little or no increased risk. Observational studies from the “real world”, however, have consistently shown dose-dependent increases in risk for serious infections as well as certain opportunistic infections (e.g. herpes zoster, tuberculosis, and PJP). In patients who begin chronic steroid therapy, vaccination and screening strategies should be utilized in an attempt to mitigate this risk.

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.
