Changes from baseline to 3 and 12 months in CRP, DAS28, patient global assessment, tender and swollen joint count scores were similar for adalimumab and etanercept; there were no significant differences.
Among the outcome measures that were found to be most sensitive to change were the patient global assessment, tender joint count and, in trials of second line drugs, swollen joint count and erythrocyte sedimentation rate.
A linear regression was used to analyze the association between serum 25(OH D levels and any variables that could influence serum 25(OH D levels, including age, BMI, duration of JIA, JIA subtype, CHAQ, Patient global health, Tender joints, Swollen joints, DAS28, ESR, and BASDAI and Medications used.
The Development Gateway Market, which registers a small proportion of global government tenders for goods and services, adds as many as 32,000 tenders a week.
After 3 months of anti-TNF therapy for RA, fatigue was decreased in patients but was independent of the level of CRP: on multiple regression, only global health and tender joint count explained 34%% of the variance in fatigue [ 50].
DAS28, disease activity score based on 28-joint count; RF, rheumatoid factor; anti-CCP, anti-cyclic-citrullinated peptide antibody; DAS28(4v -CRP, disease activity score based on 28-joint count, C-reactive protein and patient global health; TJC28, tender joint count out of 28 joints; SJC28, swollen joint count out of 28 joints; CRP, C-reactive protein; PGH, patient global health.
Cohen's D effect size of gender was at a medium level (0.2 to 0.5) for HAQ physical function (0.43) followed by DAS28 and fatigue (0.33), pain (0.27), physician global estimate (0.23), tender joint count (0.21), and patient global estimate (0.20) and was at a low level (<0.20) for swollen joint count and ESR (0.13 for both).
