Incidence Rates (IR) for Treated Tuberculosis by Exposure in Patients with Psoriasis or PsA
| Exposure at Index Date | Cases | Person-Years | IR per 1000 PY (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|
| All Patients | N=81 | Total=255,451 | 0.3 (0.2–0.4) |
| DMARDs only | 3 | 25,865 | 0.1 (0.0–0.3) |
| Apremilast | 4 | 17,180 | 0.2 (0.1–0.6) |
| Apremilast only | 2 | 12,842 | 0.2 (0.0–0.6) |
| Apremilast + other | 2 | 4338 | 0.5 (0.1–1.7) |
| TNF-i biologics only | 27 | 75,547 | 0.4 (0.2–0.5) |
| IL-i biologics only | 6 | 25,654 | 0.2 (0.1–0.5) |
| CS only | 7 | 13,943 | 0.5 (0.2–1.0) |
| DMARDs + CS | 5 | 5990 | 0.8 (0.3–1.9) |
| TNF-i with DMARDs and/or CS | 8 | 23,806 | 0.3 (0.1–0.7) |
| IL-i with DMARDs and/or CS | 1 | 4742 | 0.2 (0.0–1.2) |
| Unexposed | 20 | 62,723 | 0.3 (0.2–0.5) |
Note: Number of cases were too small to calculate stable IRR estimates.
