  1. Standard deviations in parentheses are shown.
  2. In change at interval rows, *, **, and *** represented statistical significance of p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 respectively, for which were evaluated time to time change using ANOVA with repeated measures.
  3. In p-value rows, *, **, and *** represented statistical significance of p < 0.05, p < 0.01, and p < 0.001 respectively, for which were evaluated differences between G ≤ 6 and G > 6 group for each moment at baseline, Boolean remission, and after Boolean remission, respectively.
  4. SDAI simplified disease activity index, HAQ-DI Health Assessment Questionnaire Disability Index, PS-VAS pain score with visual analog scale, SHS Sharp/van der Heijde score, QOLS quality of life score.
