Table 1. Comparative safety estimates

Safety IssueEstimated Risk Difference
SIs in RA1–2 fewer SIs/100-pts treated with ETN for 3–12 months vs ADA and IFXa
1–2 fewer SIs/100-pts treated with ADA, ETN, GLM and IFX for 6 months vs CZPb
TB1 less case/1000 pt-yrs treated with ETN vs ADA and IFXa
Non-TB OIs1 less case/1000 pt-yrs treated with ETN vs ADA and IFXb
Lymphoma1 less case/1000 pt-yrs treated with ETN vs ADA and IFXb
Withdrawals and withdrawals due to adverse events in RAc2 fewer withdrawals/100-pts per year with ETN vs ADAa
6 fewer withdrawals/100-pts per year with ETN vs IFXa
