In Table 4 of this article, entry for ‘B–non-TNFi’ in the column ‘LDA’ was incorrect as ‘40 (30.4)’ and should have been ‘48 (30.4)’. The footnote cue ‘*’ symbol and its corresponding text were missing in this table and should have read as shown in the corrected table.
Incorrect version of Table 4:
Table 4

The first two paragraphs under the section “LDA and Remission” were incorrect and have now been corrected.
LDA and Remission (Incorrect Text)
For unadjusted results at 24 months, 41.1% of patients overall treated with baricitinib and 36.4% (TNFi), 30.4% (non-TNFi), and 35.5% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B achieved LDA (Table 4). Remission was achieved by 15.2% of patients treated with baricitinib and by 16.2% (TNFi), 7.6% (non-TNFi), and 21.0% (tsDMARD) in cohort B.
Among those naïve to b/tsDMARD therapy, LDA was achieved by 46.6% of patients treated with baricitinib, and 39.0% (TNFi), 46.2% (non-TNFi), and 39.1% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B. Among naïve patients treated with baricitinib, 18.1% achieved remission, while 17.9% receiving TNFi, 12.3% receiving non-TNFi, and 26.1% receiving tsDMARDs in cohort B achieved remission. For those with previous b/tsDMARD experience, LDA was achieved by 36.2% of patients treated with baricitinib, and 28.4% (TNFi), 19.4% (non-TNFi), and 33.3% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B. Remission was achieved by 12.7% of patients treated with baricitinib, while 11.1% (TNFi), 4.3% (non-TNFi), and 17.9% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B achieved remission. Compared to patients experienced to b/tsDMARD therapy, naïve patients achieved an overall higher rate of LDA and remission (Table 4).
LDA and Remission (Correct Text)
For unadjusted results using the NRI approach, at 24 months, 41.1% of patients overall treated with baricitinib and 36.4% (TNFi), 30.4% (non-TNFi), and 35.5% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B achieved LDA (Table 4). Using the NRI approach, remission was achieved by 15.2% of patients treated with baricitinib and by 16.2% (TNFi), 7.6% (non-TNFi), and 21.0% (tsDMARD) in cohort B.
Among those naïve to b/tsDMARD therapy, the NRI approach showed that LDA was achieved by 46.6% of patients treated with baricitinib, and 39.0% (TNFi), 46.2% (non-TNFi), and 39.1% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B. Among naïve patients treated with baricitinib, 18.1% achieved remission, while 17.9% receiving TNFi, 12.3% receiving non-TNFi, and 26.1% receiving tsDMARDs in cohort B achieved remission. For those with previous b/tsDMARD experience, using NRI LDA was achieved by 36.2% of patients treated with baricitinib, and 28.4% (TNFi), 19.4% (non-TNFi), and 33.3% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B. Remission was achieved by 12.7% of patients treated with baricitinib, while 11.1% (TNFi), 4.3% (non-TNFi), and 17.9% (tsDMARD) of patients in cohort B achieved remission, when the NRI approach was employed. Compared to patients experienced to b/tsDMARD therapy, naïve patients achieved an overall higher rate of LDA and remission (Table 4).

Gefährdet Alternativmedizin das Überleben bei Brustkrebs?

Nicht nur eine ausschließliche, sondern auch eine ergänzende Nutzung von Komplementär- und Alternativmedizin erhöht bei Brustkrebs das 5-Jahres-Mortalitätsrisiko. Dafür spricht zumindest eine große retrospektive Analyse von US-Daten.    

DOAK-Spiegel bei Elektiveingriffen nur selten erhöht

8% der Personen mit DOAK-Therapie haben noch erhöhte Blutwerte der Substanzen, wenn sie sich einer elektiven Operation unterziehen. Besonders häufig sind Ausreißer unter Apixaban. Auf den intraoperativen Blutverlust hatten sie in einer Analyse jedoch keinen Einfluss.

Menschen mit Zöliakie haben erhöhtes Risiko für Pankreatitis

Das Risiko, erstmals an einer Pankreatitis zu erkranken, ist für Personen mit einer Zöliakie um über 40% erhöht. Besonders hoch ist es kurz nach der Diagnose. Auf das Rezidivrisiko hat eine Zöliakie aber keinen Einfluss, legt eine Langzeitanalyse aus Schweden nahe.

C. difficile: Besserer Schutz vor Rezidiven durch verlängerte Therapie?

Schützt eine verlängerte Vancomycin-Therapie über insgesamt vier Wochen besser vor Rezidiven einer Clostridioides-difficile-Infektion (CDI) als ein kürzeres Behandlungsschema? Dieser Frage ist ein Team aus Kanada nachgegangen.
