This was also true of\u00a0how many patients responded to treatment. However, more patients stopped JAK inhibitors for safety reasons. This could be due to a combination of real differences in safety profile as well as heightened concerns from physicians and patients, causing them potentially to be more careful with this newer treatment.\u00a0<\/span><span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Thus, these results support the use of these four treatments for treating patients with RA in \u2018real-world\u2019 clinical care.
