  1. Work for pay is expressed in N (%). Overall work impairment and activity impairment are expressed in median (IQR). Outcomes of patient in DAS28-CRP LDA/remission (but not in PASDAS LDA/remission) were tested against outcomes of patients in PASDAS LDA/remission using either Chi-square or Mann Whitney U
