CUI Concept Semantic type Occurrence Interest DC WDC Source sentences
C0025677 Methotrexate Phsu 4102 0.3095 394 1271.29 CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms previous observations from a dose-ranging study showing that anakinra, in combination with MTX, is an effective and safe treatment for patients with RA who have inadequate responses to MTX alone
C0666743 Infliximab Phsu 1974 0.1724 212 646.91 Infliximab therapy was also associated with improvements in health-related quality of life in patients with Crohn’s disease or rheumatoid arthritis
C0717758 Etanercept Aapp 1313 0.1263 148 440.82 CONCLUSION: Etanercept as monotherapy was safe and was superior to MTX in reducing disease activity, arresting structural damage, and decreasing disability over 2 years in patients with early, aggressive RA
C0242708 Antirheumatic Drugs, Disease-Modifying Phsu 940 0.1002 158 385.38 Early diagnosis and treatment with disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) are necessary to reduce early joint damage, functional loss, and mortality
C0393022 Rituximab Aapp 1004 0.0844 125 354.26 CONCLUSIONS: Evidence from RCTs suggests that RTX and ABT are more effective than supportive care

DC = degree centrality; WDC = weighted degree centrality; phsu = pharmaceutical substance; aapp = amino acid, peptide, or protein; MTX = methotrexate; RA = rheumatoid arthritis; RTX = rituximab; ABT = abatacept; RCTs = randomised controlled trials.
