  1. A patient with multiple occurrences of event within the same system organ class or preferred term under one treatment is counted only once. TEAEs are events started after the first dose of study treatment and before study discontinuation or 30 days after last dose, whichever occurs later. Events are listed by descending order of occurrence in the “continued SDZ ETN” group
  2. Adverse event terms are coded using MedDRA version 19.1
  3. ETN reference etanercept, MedDRA medical dictionary for regulatory activities, SDZ ETN Sandoz etanercept, TEAE treatment-emergent adverse event
