Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Total Exposure to Etanercept With GapsUp to 10 years

Total participant exposure to etanercept (Enbrel) with gaps

Total Exposure Adjusted Rate of DeathsUp to 10 years

Rate of deaths within 30 days of the last dose of etanercept, adjusted for total exposure to etanercept

LymphomaUp to 10 years

Occurrence of one or more lymphomas on study within 30 days of the last dose of etanercept

Serious Infectious EventUp to 10 years

Total Exposure Adjusted Rate of Serious Infectious EventsUp to 10 years

Exposure-adjusted rate of serious infectious events (associated with hospitalization or IV antibiotics) occurring on study within 30 days of the last dose of etanercept

Total Exposure Adjusted Rate of LymphomasUp to 10 years

Rate of lymphomas occurring on study within 30 days of the last dose of etanercept, adjusted for total exposure to etanercept

MalignancyUp to 10 years

Occurrence of one or more malignancies on study within 30 days of the last dose of etanercept

DeathUp to 10 years

Occurrence of death on study within 30 days of the last dose of etanercept

Total Exposure Adjusted Rate of Serious Adverse EventsUp to 10 years

Rate of serious adverse events adjusted to total exposure to etanercept (events / exposure \* 100)
