  • P<0.001 for association of ASAS PR with the ordered ASDAS categories of ID-LDA-HDA, for both Continuous UPA Group and PBO to UPA Group. P-value calculated from Cochran-Armitage trend test for association of ordinal categories.

  • ASAS, Assessment of SpondyloArthritis international Society response criteria; ASDAS, AS Disease Activity Score; HDA, high disease activity; ID, inactive disease; LDA, low disease activity; PBO, placebo; PR, partial remission; UPA, upadacitinib; VHDA, very high disease activity.
