Objective: Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink, we examined the incidence of glucocorticoid (GC)-related serious adverse events (SAEs) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and non-RA patients and quantified the risk of SAEs in patients with RA.Methods: We matched incident patients with RA to an age- and sex-matched, non-RA comparison group of equal size. In a cohort analysis, we estimated incidence rates (IRs) and IR ratios (IRRs) for GC-related AEs (i.e., diabetes mellitus [DM], osteoporosis, fractures, glaucoma, hypertension, gastrointestinal [GI] perforation or bleeding, thrombotic stroke or myocardial infarction [MI], or death), stratified by GC use. We conducted a series of nested case-control analyses among patients with RA, evaluating the effects of increasing cumulative and average daily GC dose. Cases of each outcome were matched to controls for age, sex, and general practice. We calculated adjusted odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) for each outcome.Results: Patients with RA had a higher incidence for all investigated SAEs except glaucoma, compared to non-RA patients. IRRs were greater in those patients prescribed a GC than in those without. In patients with RA, GCs were associated with an elevated risk of DM (adjusted OR 1.33 [95% CI 1.14-1.56]), osteoporosis (adjusted OR 1.41 [95% CI 1.25-1.59]), thrombotic stroke or MI (adjusted OR 1.28 [95% CI 1.07-1.52]), serious infection (adjusted OR 1.28 [95% CI 1.11-1.48]), and death (adjusted OR 1.33 [95% CI 1.19-1.48]). There was a trend of increasing risk with increasing cumulative and average daily GC dose for all outcomes other than glaucoma, hypertension, and GI perforations or bleeding (P < 0.05).Conclusion: Patients with RA had an increased incidence of GC-related AEs. Increasing cumulative and average daily GC doses were found to be associated with an increasing risk of developing an AE. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
