Figure 2

Kaplan-Meier survival curves for subjects maintaining remission according to various remission definitions, demonstrating the Kaplan-Meier survival curves for the percentage of subjects maintaining remission over time. Curves represent the following remission definitions: blue DAS28-CRP < 2.6 (blue), DAS28-CRP < 2.3 (red), CDAI (green), SDAI (yellow), and 2010 ACR/EULAR (black dotted). Beneath the figure, we include the number of subjects in remission and the percentage of subjects in remission compared with the total number of subjects included in the analysis at each time point. For instance, after 3 years, 37 of 59 patients (63%) were still in remission according to the DAS28-CRP < 2.6. Notice that not 91 but 59 subjects are evaluated at 3 years, because 32 subjects were censored, as not all patients have same duration of follow-up (open cohort).
