  • *Rate: incidence rates per 100 PY. Incidence rates for the registry data were standardised according to the age and sex distribution in the RA clinical trial programme overall analysis; for the RA clinical trial programme crude incidence is presented

  • †95% CI: approximate CIs based on the gamma distribution for registry data and exact Poisson CIs for the RA clinical trial programme.

  • CORRONA, Consortium of Rheumatology Researchers of North America; IORRA, Institute of Rheumatology Rheumatoid Arthritis; NA, not available; NC, not calculated due to too few events (rates were only produced if at least five events were observed); NOAR, Norfolk Arthritis Register; PY, person-years; SRR, Swedish Rheumatology Quality of Care Register.
