Significant results of general linear model multivariate analysis of variance test determining the effects of inflammatory markers as independent variables on 12-month positron emission tomography/CT and vascular pathophysiology parameters as concurrent dependent variables

Dependent variables Independent variables Effect F P value Partial η2
SUV-SYNmean-12 and FMD-12 DAS28-0 0.321 3.787 0.045 0.321
SUV-SYNmean-12 and PWV-12 CRP-12 0.388 5.063 0.020 0.388
TBR-SYNmean-12 and FMD-12 ESR-0 0.338 4.092 0.037 0.338

The numbers -0 and -12 indicate values at baseline and after 12 months of treatment.

CRP, C reactive protein; DAS28, 28-Joint Disease Activity Score; ESR, erythrocyte sedimentation rate; PWV, pulse-wave velocity; SUV, standardised uptake value; SYN, synovial; TBR, target-to-background ratio.
