Abstract
Objective: To compare the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and gastrointestinal bleeding (GIB) between celecoxib and non-selective non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (nsNSAIDs) in patients with ankylosing spondylitis (AS).
Method: In this nationwide retrospective cohort study using the Korean Health Insurance Review and Assessment database, adult AS patients who received newly prescribed non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) continuously for ≥ 30 days (celecoxib or nsNSAIDs) between 2013 and 2017 were evaluated. The co-primary outcomes were the occurrence of composite CVD events, including hospitalization for myocardial infarction, ischaemic heart disease, stroke, transient ischaemic attack, heart failure, and coronary revascularization; and composite GIB, including hospitalization for upper and lower GIB. Propensity score (PS) matching was used to correct for baseline differences between the celecoxib- and nsNSAID-treated groups.
Results: We identified 3164 celecoxib-treated and 18924 nsNSAID-treated patients with AS. After 1:1 PS matching, 3047 patients with AS were assigned to each of the celecoxib- and nsNSAID-treated groups. The incidence of composite CVD and GIB was 18.2/1000 person-years and 6.5/1000 person-years in celecoxib-treated and 15.1/1000 person-years and 7.3/1000 person-years in nsNSAID-treated patients, respectively. Compared to the nsNSAID-treated group, the hazard ratios of composite CVD and GIB in the celecoxib-treated group were not significant, with values of 1.17 (p = 0.499) and 0.87 (p = 0.696), respectively. There were no significant differences in the risk of each component of the composite CVD and GIB between the two groups.
Conclusion: We did not find significant differences in the risks of CVD and GIB between celecoxib and nsNSAIDs in AS patients.

Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology is the official journal of the Scandinavian Society for Rheumatology, a non-profit organization following the statutes of the Scandinavian Society for Rheumatology/Scandinavian Research Foundation. The main objective of the Foundation is to support research and promote information and knowledge about rheumatology and related fields. The annual surplus by running the Journal is awarded to young, talented, researchers within the field of rheumatology.pasting
The Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology is an international scientific journal covering clinical and experimental aspects of rheumatic diseases. The journal provides essential reading for rheumatologists as well as general practitioners, orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, pharmacologists, pathologists and other health professionals with an interest in patients with rheumatic diseases.
The journal publishes original articles as well as reviews, editorials, letters and supplements within the various fields of clinical and experimental rheumatology, including;
Epidemiology
Aetiology and pathogenesis
Treatment and prophylaxis
Laboratory aspects including genetics, biochemistry, immunology, immunopathology, microbiology, histopathology, pathophysiology and pharmacology
Radiological aspects including X-ray, ultrasonography, CT, MRI and other forms of imaging.
