All correlations were ***p<0.001, based on Student’s t distribution (N-2 degree of freedom) to test the null hypothesis of no correlation; the analysis included patients with observations at a visit of interest in Full Analysis Set.

†SF‑36v2 scores are norm-based.

BP, bodily pain; EQ-5D-3L, EuroQol 5-Dimensions-3-level; HAQ‑DI, Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index; N, the number of patients included in calculating the sample correlation; P/D, pain/discomfort; PF, physical functioning; PRO, patient-reported outcome; SF-36v2, Short Form-36 Health Survey version 2; VAS, visual analogue scale.
