The study aims to evaluate the use of upadacitinib (RINVOQ®) in individuals with AD in routine clinical care in Denmark, Germany, Spain, and Sweden. The study objectives are:
1. To describe the baseline characteristics of individuals with AD who are new users of upadacitinib.
2. To the extent measurable, evaluate healthcare utilization in routine clinical care as an indicator of physician adherence to the aRMMs among individuals with AD who are new users of upadacitinib, by:
a. Quantifying the compliance to recommendations for posology (average daily dose) and by describing the duration of use.
b. Quantifying the compliance to recommendations for the use among individuals who have risk factors for GI perforation, serious infections, malignancy, MACE, and VTE.
c. Quantifying the compliance to the recommendations for the use among patients aged 65 years and older.
d. Quantifying the compliance to the recommendations for contraindicated use including pregnancy, and active TB.
e. Quantifying the compliance to recommendations for patient screening and laboratory monitoring prior to and during upadacitinib treatment (Denmark, Germany, and Spain only).
3. To describe the changes in the utilization of upadacitinib following the implementation of revised aRMMs from the Article 20 referral procedure, specifically:
a. Describe the use of upadacitinib among patients with risk factors for VTE, MACE, malignancy, and serious infections.
b. Describe the use of upadacitinib among patients aged 65 years and older.
