Table 10.

Remission rates by two remission definitions in different Disease Activity Score 28 (DAS28) score-based statuses.

% of Remission (Remission/Nonremission Visits) Odds Ratio # % of Remission (Remission/Nonremission Visits) Odds Ratio #
(A) * The combination of the current study with that published in 2023 (n = 461 visits)
Fulfillment of 2005 modified ARA remission Fulfillment of 2011 ACR/EULAR remission
DAS28-ESR < 2.6 55.17% (96/78) Reference DAS28-ESR < 2.6 64.74% (112/61) Reference
DAS28-CRP < 2.5 74.53% (79/27) 2.803 DAS28-CRP < 2.5 83.97% (89/17) 3.184
SDAI ≤ 3.3 67.63% (94/45) 1.697 SDAI ≤ 3.3 85.61% (119/20) 3.241
DAS28-MCP-1 < 2.2 71.64% (96/38) 2.053 DAS28-MCP-1 < 2.2 75.37% (101/33) 1.667
(B) & United previous one (n = 835 visits) and (A) (n = 461 visits)
Fulfillment of 2005 modified ARA remission Fulfillment of 2011 ACR/EULAR remission
DAS28-ESR < 2.6 46.11% (160/187) Reference DAS28-ESR < 2.6 56.94% (197/149) Reference
DAS28-CRP < 2.5 72.73% (128/48) 3.419 DAS28-CRP < 2.5 83.52% (147/29) 4.191
SDAI ≤ 3.3 61.30% (160/101) 1.851 SDAI ≤ 3.3 83.91% (219/42) 3.944
DAS28-MCP-1 < 2.2 73.15% (158/58) 3.184 DAS28-MCP-1 < 2.2 77.78% (168/48) 2.647

* (A) The current study containing mainly DAS28-ESR scores ≤ 3.2 (92% on enrollment) was joined with the study published in 2023 ref. [34] containing all >3.2 (100% on enrollment) to encompass all visits as a group to cover whole ranges of rheumatoid arthritis disease activity in terms of DAS28-ESR scores. All odds ratios # vs. the reference in each category gave p < 0.05 in Part (A). Inside parentheses are visit numbers. & (B) The data in 2020 ref. [15] were mixed with (A) to calculate data shown in (B). All odds ratios # vs. the reference in each category provided p < 0.001 in Part (B). Both DAS28-MCP-1 < 2.2 and DAS28-CRP < 2.5 vs. SDAI ≤ 3.3 for fulfillment of 2005 modified ARA remission offered p = 0.006 and 0.013, respectively.
