aEstimated based on marketing sales and an estimated daily regimen of tofacitinib 5 mg BID

bReporting rate (different from incidence rate) is calculated by dividing the number of SAEs per MedDRA SOC or deaths by the estimated patient-years of exposure (per 100 patient-years). Note, multiple events can be reported within the same case report
