Data source: Longitudinal cohort (N=341, Encounters=1546)

CDAI: Clinical disease activity index; CI: Confidence interval; Ref: Reference category

Results are from the linear mixed effects regression and adjusted for baseline PF10a, and time; Model 2 incorporates an interaction term between changes in CDAI score (from previous visit) and preferred language; Model 3 incorporates an interaction term between changes in CDAI score and insurance status; Model 4 incorporates an interaction term between changes in CDAI score and race/ethnicity; β represents magnitude of change in PF10a score; P* is the p-value for statistical significance of effect modification by non-English language, non-Private insurance or non-white race.
