Incidence Rates (IR) for Treated Hepatitis C by Exposure in Patients with Psoriasis or PsA

Exposure at Index Date Cases Person-Years IR per 1000 PY (95% CI)
All Patients N=150 Total=255,451 0.6 (0.5–0.7)
DMARDs only 13 25,865 0.5 (0.3–0.9)
Apremilast 12 17,180 0.7 (0.4–1.2)
 Apremilast only 8 12,842 0.6 (0.3–1.2)
 Apremilast + other 4 4338 0.9 (0.2–2.4)
TNF-i biologics only 44 75,547 0.6 (0.4–0.8)
IL-i biologics only 14 25,654 0.5 (0.3–0.9)
CS only 17 13,943 1.2 (0.7–2.0)
DMARDs + CS 0 5990 0.0 (0.0–0.6)
TNF-i with DMARDs and/or CS 14 23,806 0.6 (0.3–1.0)
IL-i with DMARDs and/or CS 2 4742 0.4 (0.0–1.5)
Unexposed 34 62,723 0.5 (0.4–0.8)

Note: Number of cases were too small to calculate stable IRR estimates.
