Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the incidence of serious respiratory tract infections (SRI) among individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapies, using data from French healthcare between 2014-2019.
  • A total of 24,122 patients were analyzed, revealing a standardized SRI incidence rate of 1,398 per 100,000 person-years, with significant associations found between SRI and various chronic conditions like cancer, respiratory diseases, and diabetes.
  • It concludes that a history of chronic diseases increases the risk of SRI in patients on immunosuppressive therapies, and that this risk is lower in those treated with conventional synthetic disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs compared to corticosteroids.
