Methods: We enrolled patients admitted for COPD exacerbation between January 2018 and June 2019. HGS tests were done within 3 days after admission.
Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzed the safety of adalimumab, a medication used for various conditions, by reviewing randomized controlled trials to assess its infection risk.
- - A total of 21 high-quality trials were examined, revealing a slight increase in the risk of infection in patients taking adalimumab, particularly at normal dosages and in those with psoriasis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- - The researchers concluded that more studies with longer treatment durations and higher doses are necessary to determine if the infection risk is significantly elevated among adalimumab users.
