The following information was reported: PULMONARY EMBOLISM (hospitalization, medically significant) with onset Sep2021, outcome "recovered" (2021), described as "pulmonary embolism"; ANKLE FRACTURE (medically significant), outcome "recovering", described as "ankle broken"; SPINAL CORD COMPRESSION (medically significant) with onset Sep2021, outcome "recovering", described as "T10 to L1 spine compression"; HYPOAESTHESIA (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "recovering", described as "numbness in lower body/numbness on both legs"; COUGH (non-serious), outcome "not recovered", described as "cough"; NASOPHARYNGITIS (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "cold"; DYSPHONIA (non-serious) with onset 2021, outcome "not recovered", described as "hoarseness"; INAPPROPRIATE SCHEDULE OF PRODUCT ADMINISTRATION (non-serious) with onset Aug2021, outcome "unknown", described as "therapy date: Jan2021/Aug2021". The patient was hospitalized for pulmonary embolism (hospitalization duration: 5 day(s)). The events "pulmonary embolism" and "ankle broken" were evaluated at the emergency room visit. The patient underwent the following laboratory tests and procedures: magnetic resonance imaging: (Sep2021) t10 to l1 compression; (Sep2021) pulmonary embolism; x-ray: (10Aug2021) broken ankle. The action taken for upadacitinib was dosage not changed. Therapeutic measures were taken as a result of pulmonary embolism, ankle fracture, spinal cord compression, hypoaesthesia, cough, nasopharyngitis, dysphonia.  Additional information: On an unknown date, the patient experienced cough. On 10Aug2020, the patient experienced broken ankle. In 2021, the patient experienced numbness in lower body/numbness on both legs, cold and hoarseness. In Sep2021, the patient experienced pulmonary embolism and T10 to L1 spine compression. In 2021, the pulmonary embolism resolved. Pfizer Biontech Covid-19 Vaccine (Tozinameran) was also considered suspect. The patient had a pulmonary embolism. The patient had ankle broken in Aug2021 and had numbness in lower body. The patient was having surgery and was going to rehab. The patient mentioned that the patient was walking and suddenly her ankle popped, and the patient was rushed to the emergency room Patient had ankle surgery on 19Aug2021.

The reporters causality for the event(s) of broken ankle was not provided. AbbVies opinion is that there is no reasonable possibility that the events of pulmonary embolism, T10 to L1 spine compression, broken ankle and numbness in lower body/numbess on both legs are relat-ed to Rinvoq (Upadacitinib). AbbVies opinion is that there is a reasonable possibility that the events of cough, cold and hoarseness are related to Rinvoq (Upadacitinib). Change History: On 16Dec2021, received updates to medical history, event information, reporter opinion of causality, company opinion of causality, company alternative etiology, suspect drug information, concomitant drug information, treatment drug information, past drug information, laboratory/diagnostic procedures and narrative description.
