Results from the longitudinal zero-inflated negative binomial (ZINB) regression analysis of the Larsen score on the carriage of putative or confirmed rheumatoid arthritis susceptibility single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) in the combined dataset of the Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Study (ERAS) and the Norfolk Arthritis Register (NOAR). Results are shown for SNP with a ZINB combined p value < 0.05 and for the shared epitope. All results are available in Appendix 1.

  • Chr: chromosome; equation, severity/susceptibility: severity/susceptibility components of the ZINB model; estimate: expressed as percentage increase in Larsen score for the severity part of the model, or as OR for the susceptibility part of the model; Lo95: lower 95% CI; Up95: upper 95% CI; N obs: total no. observations; Z obs: among the N obs, no. observations with a Larsen score equal to zero; comb p: ZINB combined p value; dy/dx: time-averaged effect size in Larsen units (marginal effect of the model).
