≤ 60 years) and lower for patients with a high comorbidity score (HR 1.13; 95%CI 1.05-1.60 for CCI score 3-5 compared to CCI score ≤ 2). We found a high variation of persistence between different drugs. ConClusions: Japanese RA patients have a high persistence rate of biologic treatments. However, multi-factors affect the persistence rate of Japanese patients including age, comorbidities and patient type. Naïve patients tend to have high persistence rate than continuing biologic patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
