Resource Utilization Questionnaire (RUQ): completed once every year so this outcome is whether the subject completed it at baseline or 6 months.

2

Results are 13 different univariate (unadjusted) logistic models. The number of subjects in each model (N) is as follows: Age =339, Gender=339, Race=330, Ethnicity=331, Employment status=319, Marital status=333, Email =339, Tendon rubs=330, Calcinosis =336, Hand rodnan=338, Small joint contracture=324, Acro-osteolysis=321, Digital ulcers=339.

3

Results are 1 multivariate logistic model with all listed predictors. N=270 with 40 having completed RUQ in the first year.
