The investigators aimed to present the efficacy and safety data for patients with RA who received tofacitinib therapy in outpatient clinics.
Full description
This retrospective cohort study included 35 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who received tofacitinib therapy in rheumatology outpatient clinic between June 2015 and December 2019. Patients who received tofacitinib due to unresponsiveness to ≥2 conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) and/or ≥1 biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs (bDMARDs) were retrospectively evaluated. Demographic characteristics of the patients, the disease activity score-28 for rheumatoid arthritis with erythrocyte sedimentation rate (DAS 28-4 (ESR)), change in DAS-28, health assessment questionnaire score, visual analogue scale score, and laboratory parameters such as erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C-reactive protein (CRP) level, hemogram, lipid parameters, and uric acid were recorded. The data at six months of treatment were compared with baseline data. The effects related to the treatment as well as the undesired consequences were evaluated.
