EULAR=European League Against Rheumatism; ABA=abatacept; RTX=rituximab; TOC=tocilizumab.
Weighted cohort, pseudo-population obtained after inverse probability weighting.
EULAR non-response was considered death, discontinuation of the drug studied in the registry and/or initiation of a combination of conventional disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs and/or a new biologic and/or increase in oral corticosteroids dose >10 mg/day at 2 consecutive visits.
