Summary

The goal of this retrospective, observational study is to learn more about the risks and benefits of methotrexate lab monitoring. The main question it aims to answer is:

\- Is reduced methotrexate lab monitoring non-inferiorly safe when compared to standard lab monitoring?

Differences in end-organ damage and/or death will be compared between participants who have previously been treated with methotrexate for various rheumatic diseases and have undergone varying intervals of methotrexate lab monitoring

Conditions

  • Rheumatic Diseases

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Standard methotrexate lab monitoring

This group will undergo standard or guidelines based frequency of methotrexate lab monitoring, defined as lab monitoring 3+ times in first 0-3 months, 3+ times in 3 to 12 months, and at least once every 4.5 months afterward.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Reduced methotrexate lab monitoring

This group will undergo reduced frequency of methotrexate lab monitoring, defined as lab monitoring 1-2 times in first 0-3 months, 1-2 times in 3 to 12 months, and at least once per year afterward (but not more than once every 4.5 months).
