Combining Aggregate Data and Individual Patient Data in Model-Based Meta-Analysis: An Illustrative Case Study of Tofacitinib in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Model‐based meta‐analysis (MBMA) utilizes aggregate data (AD) and allows integration of information from multiple studies, which may provide more statistical power to detect clinically relevant treatment effects than an individual randomized controlled trial alone. Access to individual patient data (IPD) is often limited due to confidentiality;

Sex differences in medication discontinuation in axial spondyloarthritis.
Objective We examined sex differences in medication discontinuation among patients with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) initiating tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi), interleukin‐17 inhibitors (IL‐17i), or Janus kinase inhibitors (JAKi). Methods Using data from the Rheumatology Informatics System for Effectiveness (RISE) Registry (2003–2025), we ...
