↵a Adjusted for age, sex, race, education, disease duration, comorbidities, and country.
↵b Patients with low (n=267), moderate (n=146), and high (n=140) BASDAI.
↵c Patients with low (n=206), moderate (n=94), and high (n=76) BASDAI. Absenteeism, presenteeism, overall work impairment and activity impairment were measured by WPAI. Referent group = low BASDAI (<4).
