JAKi vs TNFi in higher-CV-risk RA: target trial emulation of 17607 matched pairs found MACE HR 1.02, but higher mortality (HR 1.21) and HF admission (HR 1.11). Findings refine results from ORAL Surveillance and support individualized JAKi agent selection #1900 @Rheumnow #ACR26 https://t.co/uDuOCPa6bf
