Ninety‐three per cent of AE in both groups were non‐serious, 6% serious and 0.003% fatal. The age‐ and gender‐adjusted hazard ratio of AE was lower in the biologics group [hazard ratio 0.6 (95% CI: 0.5–0.7)].We found no differences in rates of serious and mortal AE. Some system organ class AE rates differed between both groups. As limitations: Prescription bias might affect the incidence of AE in both groups. Association of drug and AE was based on timing: associations might not be causal.</p> </sec> <sec id="jdv12492-sec-0005" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusion</title> <p>Patients receiving biologics had lower risk of AE.
