Dynamic disease activity and serum MMP-3 between non-progressive and progressive patients in T2T-achieving group (a. Dynamic disease activity defined by SDAI; b. Dynamic serum MMP-3). *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Compared between non-progressive and progressive groups by Mann–Whitney rank-sum test. White triangle: dotted line of 60 represents the upper limit of normal serum MMP-3 in females (upper limit of normal serum MMP-3 in males is not shown). SDAI simplified disease activity index, MMP-3 matrix metalloproteinase-3. Data are represented by median and interquartile ranges
