  2. n, number of patients in each treatment group providing data; N, number of randomized patient
  3. aThe dactylitis count is the number of fingers and toes with dactylitis, with a range of 0–20 and if dactylitis is present with any finger or toe, the patient is counted as a patient with dactylitis
  4. bEnthesitis was evaluated by Leeds Enthesitis Index, a validated enthesitis index. If enthesitis is present in any of the 6 sites (lateral epicondyle humerus L + R, proximal Achilles L + R and medial condyle femur L + R), the patient is counted as a patient with enthesitis
