Dor e inflamação como mediadores do efeito do tratamento com tofacitinibe sobre a fadiga em pacientes com espondilite anquilosante: Uma análise de mediação

Kristensen, et al. used mediation modelling to show that tofacitinib indirectly improved fatigue symptoms via back pain and morning stiffness. This study was carried out using FACIT-F- and BASDAI Q1-based models to determine the relationship between these variables.

This modelling study by Kristensen, et al. used data from two tofacitinib trials: one phase 2 and one phase 3. Both studies were interventional, randomised, placebo-controlled, parallel,
quadruple-masking clinical trials.
