- Abstract:
Objectives: To describe a population with moderate rheumatoid arthritis (RA) before biologic initiation and assess change in disease status, health-related quality of life (HRQOL), and adverse events in etanercept (ETN)-treated patients.Methods: Data on adult patients with moderate RA (3.2 < Disease Activity Score in 28 Joints [DAS28] ≤ 5.1) were retrospectively analyzed from the British Society for Rheumatology Biologics Register comparing a nonbiologic-treated group (nBG) using at least one traditional disease-modifying antirheumatic drug to a biologic group (BG) treated with ETN. The HRQOL was assessed by using the Health Assessment Questionnaire disability index score. To mitigate confounding, we controlled for drivers of progression. Appropriate univariate, multivariate, and regression analyses were used.Results: A total of 1754 patients with RA were assessed (211 BG and 1543 nBG). Compared with the nBG, the BG tended toward higher disease activity, such as significantly higher tender joints and DAS28. The BG compared with the nBG had 1) a greater reduction in DAS28 and Health Assessment Questionnaire scores; 2) disease remission occurring more often (odds ratio = 2.7; P = 0.006); and 3) progression occurring in fewer patients (odds ratio = 0.3; P = 0.002). BG patients had a higher incidence of "other serious infection" and "other central nervous system-related events," with no significant differences in associated hospitalization rates or deaths.Conclusions: Among patients with moderate RA from a clinical practice registry, ETN-treated patients had significantly higher disease activity at the time of biologic initiation but significantly reduced disease activity and better HRQOL after 6 months compared with nBG patients, although the possibility of unmeasured confounding remains. The ETN group reported significantly higher incidences of "other serious infections" and "other central nervous system-related events" without higher hospitalization rates.
