Major finding: Compared with patients attaining remission, patients attaining low disease activity (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.60; 95% CI 1.13-2.27) and moderate disease activity (aHR 1.83; 95% CI 1.29-2.61) were at a higher risk for hospitalized infections.
Study details: Findings are from a prospective observational cohort study including 3254 patients with moderate RA from the CorEvitas RA registry.
