J RheumatolPublished Systematic review and meta-analysis

Authors' conclusion

Evidence supports TCZ, ANK, and CNK therapy for AOSD. However, the magnitude of effect and comparative effectiveness of treatments is uncertain.

Pooled result

As reported in the abstract

Complete remission (pooled rate)

Complete remission (pooled rate) TCZ 80% (95% CI 59–92%) · ANK 73% (95% CI 58–84%) · CNK 77% (95% CI 29–97%)

Further pooled results

CS discontinuation (pooled rate) TCZ 57% (95% CI 29–81%) · ANK 47% (95% CI 18–78%) · CNK 34% (95% CI 6–81%)

I2

Corticosteroids (CS) discontinuation vs proportion previously treated with bDMARDs

Trend toward lower CS discontinuation with higher proportion previously treated with bDMARDs
