Key Points Question Is use of targeted disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs associated with risk of Alzheimer disease and related dementia (ADRD)? Findings In this cohort study including 22 569 propensity score–matched patient pairs, initiation of inhibitors of Janus-kinase, interleukin-6, or tumor necrosis factor was not associated with reduced risk of ADRD compared with initiation of abatacept, a T-cell activation inhibitor. Meaning These results do not support advancing targeted disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs as disease modifying candidates for ADRD.
