Relative efficacy and tolerability of etoricoxib, celecoxib, and naproxen in the treatment of osteoarthritis

This study aimed to assess the relative efficacy and tolerability of etoricoxib, celecoxib, and naproxen at recommended dosages in patients with osteoarthritis (OA). Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) examining the efficacy and tolerability of etoricoxib 30–60 mg, celecoxib 200–400 mg, and naproxen 1000 mg, based on the number of patient withdrawals among those with OA, were included in this network meta-analysis. We performed a Bayesian...
