Table 4.
Predictors of inactive disease after newly initiating treatment with TNF-α inhibitor. Odds ratios less than 1 signify decreased odds of attaining inactive disease.
Outcome | Predictors | Univariate Odds Ratio | Multivariable model Odds Ratio |
---|---|---|---|
Inactive disease at 1 year follow-up | ERA (vs RF-poly) | 0.23 (0.07 – 0.84) | 0.20 (0.07 – 0.56) |
Baseline CHAQ < 1 | 4.1 (1.4 – 13) | 5.7 (1.7 – 19) | |
Active enthesitis | 0.36 (0.13 – 0.96) | ------ | |
Inactive disease ever | ERA (vs RF-poly) | 0.24 (0.07 – 0.82) | 0.24 (0.08 – 0.75) |
Baseline CHAQ < 1 | 2.8 (1.2 – 6.7) | 6.0 (1.6 – 23) | |
Normal ESR at baseline | 0.43 (0.17 – 1.1) | ------ | |
Active enthesitis | 0.43 (0.20 – 0.95) | ------ | |
Number of follow-up visits | 1.4 (1.1 – 1.7) | 1.5 (1.1 – 2.1) |
