Note: further details in Supplementary Table 1.

aDiscrepancies in patient numbers compared with the overall group occurred because some patients had previously received anti-TNFα therapy and did not fail and due to double counting (anti-TNFα history was recorded during screening and enrollment by the patient [IVRS] and based on CRF [by the physician] at study baseline).

bDiscrepancies in reporting of concomitant corticosteroid use (subgroups of patients “corticosteroid” and “no-corticosteroid” are based on actual data, whereas row summaries that refer to corticosteroid usage are based on an IVRS).

BMI, body mass index; CS, corticosteroid; IM, immunomodulator; SD, standard deviation; TNFα, necrosis factor alpha.
