Persistence and adherence to biologic therapies in juvenile idiopathic arthritis

© 2021. The Author(s)..

Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that often requires biological therapy to control its activity. Medication persistence and adherence are important aspects on which we have scarce information. We performed a longitudinal, retrospective, and observational study based on data from the daily clinical management of JIA patients. We recorded clinical remission at 6 and 12 months. Persistence of biological therapy was evaluated using Kaplan-Meier curves, and adherence was assessed using the medication possession ratio (MPR). We included 68 patients who received biological therapy. Of these, 11 (16.2%) and 5 (7.4%) required a second and third drug, respectively. The persistence rate for biological therapy at 5 years was 64%, with no differences between the first and second lines. Adherence was high during the first year of treatment (MPR80: 96.3%) and also in the second and third years (MPR80: 85.2% and 91.8%, respectively). Persistence and adherence to biological therapy were remarkably high in our JIA cohort. Adherence to biological treatments could be related to a higher probability of fulfilling the Wallace remission criteria at 6 months, although this was not confirmed at 12 months.
