The long-term adverse event risks associated with oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors compared to broader immunomodulators are poorly understood, with limited comparative studies available. This study aims to assess the long-term adverse event risks of oral JAK inhibitors compared to broader immunomodulators in dermatology. A PubMed search included terms such as specific drug names and "adverse events," "long-term safety," "malignancy," "cardiovascular events," and/or "infections.
