Abstract: Electronic Health Records are a new data source for non-interventional studies. Biological disease-modifying anti-rheumatic therapy used to treat the rheumatoid arthritis has some associated adverse events. Even though some of these adverse events are known, there are few studies comparing mortality among the different biological drugs. In this study, we compared mortality (in hospital, and according to the social security registries) among groups of patients treated with the different biological drugs. The same indicators for mortality were studied between group of patients treated with and without biological drugs. No significant differences in mortality were found, except for mortality according to the social security registries for patients treated with or without biological drugs, with an Odds Ratio of 2.52, meaning that survival is 2.52 times more likely when a patient is not treated with a biological drug. Those results should be interpreted with caution, as this study has some limitations, such as the obtained cohort was small in number for some cases, and those results do not allow to stablish a causality. No similar studies were found with this kind or another type of data. Nevertheless, the Electronic Health Records are an important source of data that will complement other type of existing studies (interventional and non-interventional), and its study has been constantly growing for over a decade.
