[Agency] AHRQ [Project Title] LONGITUDINAL COMPARATIVE EFFECTIVENESS & SAFETY OF BIOLOGICS IN AUTOIMMUNITY [Institution] UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AT BIRMINGHAM [Amount] $0 [Summary] Although various biologic medications have excellent efficacy for chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, and inflammatory bowel disease, their comparative effectiveness in terms of clinical response and safety are unknown. A collaboration between 2 CERTs and the Consortium of Rheumatology Researchers of North America (CORRONA) will gain an improved understanding of comparative effectiveness by evaluating clinical data from a prospective cohort study and through an analysis of national Medicare data from 2006- 2011.
