Nepal et al. No increased risk of GI perforation for tocilizumab in GCA HR 1.05 . Diverticulitis (RR 3.51), IV methylprednisolone (RR 5.41) risk factors. This fits with my priors, steroids are a bigger risk than tocilizumab. Abstr#2560 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/BAmBQA0kEP https://t.co/zRjmDIkOHp
