  Background: Whether the safety and efficacy of Januskinase Inhibitors (JAKis) in daily routine treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) match the respective clinical trial results is of crucial clinical interest, however, growing, but still limited corresponding evidence is available. Patients and methods: Data, including adverse events, disease activity scores, patient-related outcomes, and response as well as persistence rates, of all RA patients receiving JAKi treatment registered in the BioReg database were retrieved. The results were described according to those of pivotal clinical trials of JAKis.
