Details
This analysis estimated the risk of serious infection in patients with Crohn’s disease treated with ustekinumab compared to patients with Crohn’s disease treated with non-ustekinumab biologics (i.e., infliximab, adalimumab, and vedolizumab) in the Sentinel Distributed Database (SDD). The study period includes data from October 1, 2016 to June 30, 2023.
This analysis consists of two parts, Part 1 (v01) and 2 (v03), where Part 2 (v03) represents the final analysis for this study. This analysis includes updates to the selection and censoring criteria for the non-ustekinumab biologics group compared to the original report (Part 1 [v01]). The v01 analytic package was distributed to six Sentinel Data Partners on December 18, 2023. The v03 analytic package was distributed on April 22, 2024 but was run on the dataset retained from v01.
The supplementary report contains information regarding all eligible episodes in the study population before the exclusion of patients who had an earlier eligible initiation of the other exposure group.
