Patients were followed from the first bDMARD purchase (first biological cohort) or switch (switcher cohort) to 2022 or until death/loss of follow-up. Patients with bDMARD purchases before 2013 and no switches afterwards were not included.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>The study investigated 2546 patients with PsA and bDMARD purchases, with 458 (18.0%) in the switcher cohort and 2088 (82.0%) in the first biological cohort. In the first biological cohort, 22.4% (95% confidence interval 20.6-24.2) switched bDMARD after 12 months. Work absences accumulated before bDMARD initiation and decreased afterwards in the first biological cohort, while switchers maintained a modest linear accumulation. The proportion of under-65-year-old patients on disability pensions was higher in switchers compared to the first biological cohort. HCRU decreased after bDMARD initiation in the first biological cohort (annual cost per patient €5093 vs €4610), while it increased for switchers (€5246 vs €5596).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Patients experienced increasing absenteeism before first bDMARD initiation, indicating an unmet need at treatment initiation. This suggests that earlier medication initiation could be beneficial, as a bDMARD switch with the bDMARD armamentarium available during the study period did not fully address growing absenteeism.</p>","PeriodicalId":21424,"journal":{"name":"Scandinavian Journal of Rheumatology","volume":" ","pages":"85-96"},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2026-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145513754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
