Objective: To compare the risk of infection in inflammatory arthritis patients treated with tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors.Methods: PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were systematically searched from inception to 28 December 2023 for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing TNF inhibitors and reporting infections. Subsequently, pairwise and network meta-analyses were conducted to determine odds ratios (ORs) and the corresponding 95% confidence intervals (CIs).Results: A total of 61 RCTs involving 20,458 patients were included. Pairwise meta-analysis revealed that certolizumab pegol was significantly associated with an increased risk of serious infection compared to placebo (OR:2.28, 95% CI: 1.13–4.62). Both adalimumab and certolizumab pegol were also significantly associated with an increased risk of any infection compared to placebo (OR:1.18, 95% CI: 1.06 to 1.30 and OR:1.40, 95% CI: 1.11 to 1.76, respectively). Moreover, a network meta-analysis indicated that certolizumab pegol and infliximab were associated with a higher risk of serious infection compared to other TNF inhibitors. In the cumulative ranking of any infection risk, certolizumab pegol had the highest risk compared with others. TNF inhibitors increased the risk of tuberculosis but not that of herpes zoster.Conclusion: Available evidence indicates etanercept and golimumab are likely associated with a lower risk of infection compared to other TNF inhibitors in inflammatory arthritis. For patients at a heightened risk of infection, prioritizing the use of etanercept and golimumab may be advisable to minimize patient risk.Systematic Review Registration: identifier CRD42022316577 |
