Patients are only counted once per treatment for each row. PD groups [the average daily tofacitinib dose levels in the entire UC clinical programme] were based on the average total daily dose of tofacitinib during tofacitinib treatment: PD 5 mg BID, an average total daily dose <15 mg; PD 10 mg BID, an average total daily dose ≥15 mg.

BID, twice daily; N, total number of patients in the treatment group; n, number of patients with events; PD, predominant dose; UC, ulcerative colitis.
