Predictors of Relapse after Attempting to Stop TNF-α inhibitors
Predictor | Hazard Ratio | CI | p value |
---|---|---|---|
Age at withdrawal | 1.06 | 0.97, 1.15 | 0.19 |
Female | 1.42 | 0.17, 12.18 | 0.75 |
Time on biologic ≥ 486 daysa | 1.63 | 0.40, 6.63 | 0.50 |
Time from corticosteroid-sparing control to taper or stop date (per 30-day increment) | 1.01 | 0.94, 1.09 | 0.71 |
Time from uveitis diagnosis to start of biologic ≥ 1765 daysa | 0.63 | 0.14, 2.91 | 0.56 |
These predictors were evaluated in a dichotomous manner based on their median values in our study population.
