  • p < 0.10 are included in the model.

  • * HAQ response = HAQ baseline – HAQ at 6 month (a positive outcome means an improvement in functionality). R2 = percent explained variance final model (Nagelkerke). HAQ-DI: Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index. The process from the starting model to the presented final model is available from the authors on request.
