Abstract

Significant data on applied biologic drugs can be found in national registries of treated patients. The main reason of establishing registries is monitoring the efficacy and safety of biologic drugs in long-term treatment. Registries provide information on outcome of the disease, life quality, and risk-benefit ratio including society costs.
