Alright help me out here; this is pretty implausible, right?
Why would be pts be 11% more adherent to UPA? What's the bio-plausibility here? UPA 10% better than other JAKs?
Could do a network meta analysis; betting this doens't replicate

#Rheumatoid #arthritis is an independent risk factor for death in nonmetastatic clear cell renal ca !
👇N=32K, 802 w RA also
Caveats
immunotherapy Offered = in RA
Cancer specific mortality not affected
By #RA
Frailty & RA affected outcomes
