Biological and steroid use in relationship to quality measures in older patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a US Medicare cohort study.
The researchers examined the frequency and predictors of antitumour necrosis factor (TNF) use, among US patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) aged 65 years and older prior to the publication of a new Medicare quality measure calling for the use of anti-TNFs and other steroid-sparing agents. They found that anti-TNF use was very low in this population of older patients with IBD.
