Table 3.: Odds ratios (95% CI) in multivariate analysis of associations of being in remission at the 5year follow-up and DAS28 at
inclusion, HAQ at inclusion or pain at inclusion, controlled for group (group 1 – included in 1990s, group 2 – included in
2000s), gender, age, smoking habits,
disease duration and RF. DAS28, HAQ and pain were analysed separate due to high
correlation.
