Highly significant negative associations between DAS28 at the start of treatment and remission at 12 months were also found by logistic regression ( p < 0.0001) for both types of remission.
Highly significant negative associations between DAS28 at the start of treatment and remission at 12 months were also found by logistic regression ( p < 0.0001) for both types of remission.
Patients with a disease duration ≤2 years had a higher chance of DAS28 remission, but the association did not reach statistical significance ( p = 0.07), even if DAS28 at baseline and treatment group were controlled for ( p = 0.06, data not shown) as the number of patients with recent onset RA was low (BIOL, n = 46; CON, n = 17).
