OP0266 RISK OF HOSPITALIZED INFECTION IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC INFLAMMATORY ARTHRITIS TREATED WITH BIOLOGICAL DRUGS – A MATCHED COHORT STUDY

Published: Jun 1, 2019

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) treated with biological drugs (bDMARDs) have increased risk of hospitalized infection (i.e. infection causing admission to hospital) compared to the general population.
