Figure 1From: Superior efficacy of Adalimumab in treating childhood refractory chronic uveitis when used as first biologic modifier drug: Adalimumab as starting anti-TNF-α therapy in childhood chronic uveitisTime to steroid discontinuation and time on remission up to the first relapse on Adalimumab. a. Survival curves of time to steroid discontinuation (months) for the Group 1 (black curve), receiving Adalimumab, as first anti-TNFα therapy, and the Group 2 (grey curve), receiving Adalimumab as second anti-TNFα therapy. On the y-axis, the probability of patient being on steroid treatment is shown. (log-rank, Mantel-Cox χ2 4.12, p < 0.004). b. Survival curves up to the first uveitis relapse on therapy after achieving remission (months) for Group 1 (black curve), receiving Adalimumab as first anti-TNFα therapy, and Group 2 (grey curve), receiving Adalimumab as second anti-TNFα therapy. On the y-axis, the probability of patient being on remission on anti-TNF-α therapy is shown (log-rank, Mantel-Cox χ2 10.12, p < 0.002).Back to article page
