Aim To determine coverage and generalisabilityof data in the Swedish Biologics Register ARTIS for patients with RA exposed to biologics Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study GroupARD 2010
Methods • Identification of the Swedish RA PopulationRegister linkage of the Swedish RheumatologyQuality Register and the National Patient Register1 • Exposure to BiologicsRegister linkage of the identified RA population with the Swedish Biologics Register ARTIS and the PrescribedDrug Register • IncludedBiologicDrugsPrimaryanalysis: Etanercept and adalimumab, as >99% of the use is captured by the PrescribedDrug RegisterSecondaryanalysis: Includingalsoinfliximab, abatacept, anakinra and rituximab 1For details, see separate publication: Neovius, Simard & Askling for the ARTIS Study Group, Nationwide Prevalence of RA and Penetration of Disease-ModifyingDrugs in Sweden, ARD 2010
Methods Venn-diagram illustrating the overlap in number of patients identified from each source (total n=62,897) Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study GroupARD 2010
Methods Exposed patients in ARTIS • GeneralisabilityAssessmentComparison of age, sex and educationlevel in ARTIS-registered vs. non-registered patients Coverage = Exposed patients in the PrescribedDrug Register Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study GroupARD 2010

PrimaryAnalysis Etanercept Adalimumab Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study Group, ARD 2010
SensitivityAnalysis Etanercept Adalimumab Infliximab Abatacept Rituximab Anakinra Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study Group, ARD 2010
Generalisability In multivariable analysis, ARTIS-registered and non-registered patients did not differ by age (p=0.19), sex (p=0.18) or education level (p=0.32) Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study GroupARD 2010
Conclusion • Nationwide drug and demographic data may function as quality metrics for coverage & generalisability assessments • Using such data, the coverage of ARTIS was estimated at 87-92%, with no indications of compromised generalisabilityregarding demography Neovius, Sundström, Simard, Jacobsson, Geborek, Saxne, Klareskog & Askling for the ARTIS Study GroupARD 2010
