  • * Other study includes noninterventional studies, healthy volunteer, open-label extensions, and compassionate use.

  • ** Rheumatic disease includes rheumatoid arthritis, axial spondyloarthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and juvenile idiopathic arthritis.

  • Preconception only refers to cases where it is known that exposure stopped more than 14 and not more than 70 days prior to the first trimester.

  • Cases where it was not possible to date CZP exposure and/or the pregnancy. CZP: certolizumab pegol; EDD: estimated delivery date.
