Cost‐effectiveness of biologics in polyarticular‐course juvenile idiopathic arthritis patients unresponsive to disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs

Abstract: Objective. Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is the most common chronic pediatric rheumatic disease and can have long-term effects leading to disability in adulthood. Biologics are a new class of drugs increasingly used to treat JIA. The primary study objective was to determine the incremental costs of biologics per additional responder compared to conventional treatment (methotrexate). Conclusion.Biologics are more effective than methotrexate in achieving a short-term response in JIA patients with prior in… Show more

“…While there are only modest differences in the benefits and costs of drugs within a single class, such as among tumor necrosis factor ␣ inhibitors, there are important differences in the treatment frequency, treatment setting, likelihood of common adverse effects, and risk of rare but serious complications (7). The high cost and limits to accessing biologic agents must also be considered when prescribing treatment (12).…”

“…Традиционные иммунодепрессанты и инги-биторы ФНО ␣ при этом варианте заболевания не всегда эффективны [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. Длительное применение глюкокор-тикоидов приводит к развитию тяжелых нежелательных явлений и не предотвращает развития деструктивных изменений в суставах [37].…”
