Crude drug retention at 1 year was 65% for JAKi, significantly lower than for other modes of action (74%) and TNFi (77%). These results are driven by the severity of the disease of patients on JAKi compared to other MOA. Aymon R Abst#1692 #ACR23 @RheumNow https://t.co/LPDpWdjoLg https://t.co/Ztaz94omd9

Obs study, bDMARDs & malignancy
TNFi w/lower risk than ABA/RTX/IL6i & numerically lower than JAKs
I'm a little skeptical... KM curves diverged w/~45 days, seems implausible?
Agree w/first author, possible channeling bias

Ritux (OR 2.2), ABA (OR 1.3), JAKi (OR 1.3) significantly increase risk of cancer vs. TNFi
Cohort of 37000+ RA pts starting bio/tsDMARDs (379 incident cancers)
True biologic effect or confounding by indication in a generally more comorbid population?
