The British Society for Rheumatology (BSR) established a nationwide register for patients with rheumatological disorders treated with biologic agents. The register is designed as a national prospective study whose primary purpose is to assess long term toxicity from the use of these agents in routine practice. In addition, the data will be capable of addressing the benefits from their use in relation to their toxicity. One specific feature of the BSR register is the recruitment and collection of data from a parallel comparison group, comprising patients with active rheumatoid arthritis treated with conventional disease modifying agents. Both class specific and drug specific analyses of the group treated with biologicals are planned.
英国风湿病学会(BSR)建立了一个全国性的生物制剂治疗风湿病患者登记册。该登记册被设计为一项全国性前瞻性研究,其主要目的是评估在常规临床实践中使用这些药物的长期毒性。此外,这些数据将能够说明使用这些药物的益处及其毒性。BSR登记册的一个特点是从一个平行对照组招募和收集数据,该对照组由接受传统病情缓解药物治疗的活动性类风湿关节炎患者组成。计划对接受生物制剂治疗的组进行类别特异性和药物特异性分析。
