DAS28 is measure of disease activity in participants. DAS28-4 (CRP): calculated from SJC, TJC, CRP(mg/L) and PGA (participant rated disease activity on visual analogue scale [VAS] from 0 to 100 mm; high score=worse health). Total score range of DAS28-4 (CRP): 0 to 9.4(0=no activity; 9.4=extreme disease activity), higher score=more disease activity. DAS28-4(CRP) less than (<)2.6=remission, <3.2=low disease activity, >=3.2-5.1=moderate disease activity and greater than (>) 5.1=high disease activity. HAQ-DI assess degree of difficulty a participant experienced (past week) in 8 domain of daily activities: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and other activities. Each item scored on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 to 3(0=no difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty). Overall score: sum of domain scores/number of domains answered. Total possible score range (0=least difficulty; 3=extreme difficulty); high scores=more difficulty in performing daily living activities.

ACR/EULAR remission was considered if the scores on tender joint count, swollen joint count, hs-CRP (mg/dL), and patient's global assessment of arthritis (PGA) all were less than or equal to (=<) 1 or the score on the simplified disease activity index (SDAI) was =<3.3. SDAI was calculated as the sum of number of tender and swollen joint count (using 28 joints), PGA, physician global assessment, and CRP (mg/dL). PGA was assessed on a 10 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicate worse health condition. Physician global assessment was recorded on a 10 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicated more disease activity. DAS28 calculated from number of swollen joints and painful joints using the 28 joints count, CRP (mg/dL) and PGA using a 10 mm-VAS from 0 (very well) to 10 (very poor), where higher scores indicate worse health condition. DAS28 <3.2: low disease activity, DAS28 <2.6: remission.

PAAP: Participants assessed the severity of their arthritis pain by using a 100 mm VAS ranging from 0 (no pain) to 100 (most severe pain), which corresponded to the magnitude of their pain, where higher scores indicated more pain. PGA: Participants were asked the following question, "Considering all the ways your arthritis affects you, how are you feeling today?" and their response was recorded on a 100 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 100 (very poor), where higher scores indicated worse health condition. PGAA: Participants were assessed how their overall arthritis appears at the time of the visit. The evaluation was based on the participant's disease signs, functional capacity and physical examination, and was independent of the PAAP and PGA assessments. The physician's response was recorded using a 100 mm VAS ranging from 0 (very well) to 100 (very poor), where higher scores indicated more disease activity.
