  2. OR odds ratio, CI confidence interval, RA rheumatoid arthritis, PsA psoriatic arthritis, DMARD disease modifying antirheumatic drug, VAS visual analogue scale
  3. *Variables with p ≤ 0.25 in the univariate logistic regression were entered into the multivariate logistic regression baseline model and non-significant covariates removed via backwards stepwise elimination until only significant covariates remained in the final model. Stepwise backwards elimination process can be seen in Additional file 1. Nagelkerke R2 for model = 0.15
