Objective: People with axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA) have increased fracture risk relative to the general population, possibly related to those with chronic inflammation. We assessed the impact of treatment with receiving tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFis) and nonbiologic conventional synthetic disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (csDMARDs) on hip and spine fractures in patients with axSpA, relative to receiving nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs).

Methods: We conducted a nested case-control study using 2006 to 2021 data from the Merative MarketScan Database.

Background: The dosing of voriconazole is challenging in pediatrics. One approach to improve the dosing is through the use of Bayesian concentration-guided dosing software. Our study assessed the predictive performance of a freely available online voriconazole dose calculator in pediatric patients "NextDose" ( https://www.
