Good drug survival of tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) has been shown in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients treated in real-life setting. However, few studies have compared drug survival of the first TNF inhibitor between radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) patients in real-world clinical practice. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness by assessing the retention rate of first-line TNFi in r-axSpA and nr-axSpA patients. Baseline predictive factors for TNFi discontinuation were also evaluated.

Abstract
Good drug survival of tumour necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) has been shown in axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) patients treated in real-life setting. However, few studies have compared drug survival of the first TNF inhibitor between radiographic axSpA (r-axSpA) and non-radiographic axSpA (nr-axSpA) patients in real-world clinical practice. The aim of this work was to evaluate the effectiveness by assessing the retention rate of first-line TNFi in r-axSpA and nr-axSpA patients. Baseline predictive factors for TNFi discontinuation were also evaluated.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
