Based on two of three readers assigning same category; otherwise considered no change.
Some patients started with lowest possible score and could not improve.
*Net % patients with progression=number of patients with worsening minus the number of patients with improvement, divided by the study population.
†One-way analysis of variance.
Adjusted for these covariates at baseline: sex, symptom duration, smoking status, human leucocyte antigen-B27 status, Ankylosing Spondylitis Disease Activity Score, Spondyloarthritis Research Consortium of Canada MRI SIJ score and SIJ mNY grade.
∆, change; mNY, modified New York; SIJ, sacroiliac joint.
