• Study description:
  In this study, we will identify new users of JAKi in Tuscany from their approval in the treatment of severe to moderate RA in 2018 to 2019, and describe their utilization of the Regional Healthcare System facilities after treatment initiation, including an economic assessment. Since JAKi are used as second line in patients with moderate to severe RA non-responders to biologic DMARDs, we will provide an estimation over time of the new users of bDMARDs with and without history of access to rheumatoid arthritis wards in Tuscany.
