DVT/PE has been the sticking point for baricitinib in RA.
DVT/PE risk in integrated safety analysis >8y: incidence doesn't increase, but also doesn't decrease. No diff with dose either.
Every drug has pros/cons; it's how we manage risk that counts...

Year in Review by @JYazdanyMD: #Cardiovascular #Inflammation Reduction Trial provided "unique opportunity to learn about side-effects" of a drug we commonly use.
Low-dose MTX assoc. with small-mod. elevated risk of transaminitis, infection, anaemia & skin cancer.

#ACR20 year in review @JYazdanyMD CIRT trial showing that MTX pneumonitis occurs but is very (very) rare. @RheumNow @jeffsparks @DanielHSolomon https://t.co/UbD4mhHBzq

The risk of serious infections (SIE) in RA patients given anti-TNF (TNFi) therapy is not static, instead it has been shown to be greatest in the first 6 months of use according to a recent report in Rheumatology.
