Why the study?
Do janus kinase inhibitors increase cardiovascular risk compared to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
Do janus kinase inhibitors increase cardiovascular risk compared to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis?
Real-world observational data from Sweden suggests that JAK inhibitors do not confer a higher cardiovascular risk than TNF inhibitors in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Observational data suggest comparable CV safety for JAK versus TNF inhibitors in RA; leaves open need for randomized confirmation.
As used in present clinical practice in Sweden, we found no evidence that CV risk is higher with JAKis than TNFis in RA.
