- Abstract
This analysis, we feel, would be the appropriate analysis to test the hypothesis that TNFi treatment protects AS patients against excess mortality associated with their disease. Therefore, the younger subgroup of TNFi-treated AS patients had expectantly lower mortality compared with older AS patients given no TNFi treatment and longer follow-up.
