Since 20 prescribing information is not inclusive of all respiratory AEs from the pivotal trials that 21 supported approval of interleukin-17 inhibitors, we conducted a summary risk estimate using 22 data from the placebo-controlled period of these studies obtained from clinicaltrials.gov. This 23 more detailed analysis yielded similar findings to our meta-estimate of prescribing information 24 data (odds ratio 1.31, 95% Confidence Interval 1.05-1.62; Table 2 ). ./cache/cord-266589-oj76ol8v.txt ./txt/cord-266589-oj76ol8v.txt
