DAS28 score is a measurement of RA activity on a 0 to 10 scale, with higher scores representing higher disease activity, and calculated as DAS28 = 0.56 x √TJC28 + 0.28 x √SJC28 + 0.36 x natural logarithm (ln) (CRP + 1) + 0.014 x PGH + 0.96, where TJC28 = tender joint count on 28 units, SJC28 = swollen joint count on 28 units, CRP = serum concentration of c-reactive protein (after converting units to mg/dL), PGH = patient global assessment of disease activity, which was measured on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 mm = managing very well and 100 mm = managing very poorly (√ = square root).
A score of < 2.6 represents clinical remission, a score of greater than or equal to (≥) 2.6 and less than or equal to (≤) 3.2 represents low disease activity, a score of > 3.2 and ≤ 5.1 represents moderate disease activity and a score of > 5.1 represents high (or severe) disease activity.

The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay.
A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.
Change from baseline = CRP level at Month X - CRP level at baseline.
Here X = 3 and 6 for Change at Months 3 and 6, respectively.

Change From Baseline in ESR at Month 3 and Month 6
기간: Baseline, Month 3, and Month 6
|
ESR is a laboratory test that provides a non-specific measure of inflammation.
The test assesses the rate at which red blood cells fall in a test tube.
Normal range is 0-30 mm/hr.
A decrease in the level indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.
Change from baseline = ESR level at Month X - ESR level at baseline.
Here X = 3 and 6 for Change at Months 3 and 6, respectively.

CRP at the Start of TCZ Treatment by Remission Status Using DAS28-CRP, SDAI, and CDAI at Month 6
기간: Baseline
|
The test for CRP is a laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay.
A decrease in the level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.
DAS28 scale ranges from 0 to 10, where higher scores represent higher disease activity.
DAS28 is calculated as follows: DAS28 = 0.56 x √TJC28 + 0.28 x √SJC28 + 0.36 x ln(CRP + 1) + 0.014 x PGH + 0.96, A score of < 2.6 represents clinical remission.
SDAI is a combined index for measuring disease activity in RA and calculated as SDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + PGH (in cm) + PhGH (in cm) + CRP (in mg/dL).
A SDAI score of ≤ 3.3 represents clinical remission.
CDAI is a combined index for measuring disease activity in RA and calculated as CDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + PGH (in cm) + PhGH (in cm).
A CDAI score of ≤ 2.8 represents clinical remission.

Body Mass Index (BMI) at the Start of TCZ Treatment by Remission Status Using DAS-28 CRP, SDAI, and CDAI at Month 6
기간: Baseline
|
DAS28 scale ranges from 0 to 10, and calculated as DAS28 = 0.56 x √TJC28 + 0.28 x √SJC28 + 0.36 x ln(CRP + 1) + 0.014 x PGH + 0.96, where TJC28 and SJC28 = tender joint and swollen joint count on 28 units, PGH = patient's global assessment of disease activity, assessed on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 mm = managing very well and 100 mm = managing very poorly, CRP = serum concentration of C-reactive protein.
A score of < 2.6 represents clinical remission.
SDAI is a combined index for measuring disease activity in RA and calculated as SDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + PGH (in cm) + PhGH (in cm) + CRP (in mg/dL), where PhGH = physician global assessment of disease activity, assessed on a 100 mm VAS, where 0 mm = no arthritis activity and 100mm = extremely active arthritis.
A SDAI score of ≤ 3.3 represents clinical remission.
CDAI is a combined index for measuring disease activity in RA and calculated as CDAI = TJC28 + SJC28 + PGH (in cm) + PhGH (in cm).
A CDAI score of ≤ 2.8 represents clinical remission.

Percentage of Participants With and Without Morning Stiffness
기간: Month 3 and Month 6
|
Morning stiffness was defined by the time elapsed between the time of usual awakening (even if not in the morning) and the time the participant was able to resume normal activities without stiffness. The participant assessed morning stiffness based on the following criteria:
'Not estimable' represented that the participants were not able to quantify it. 'Not done' represented that the assessment was not performed. |

Percentage of Participants by Duration of Morning Stiffness
기간: Month 3 and Month 6
|
Duration of morning stiffness was defined as the time elapsed between the time of usual awakening (even if not in the morning) and the time the participant was able to resume normal activities without stiffness.
The participant reported the duration of morning stiffness in the case report form by ticking 1 of the following categories: no morning stiffness, < 30 minutes, 30 - 60 minutes, 60 - 120 minutes, 120 - 240 minutes, > 240 minutes, and the whole day.
'Not estimable' represented that the participants were not able to quantify it.
'Not done' represented that the assessment was not performed.

Correlation Coefficient Between CRP (mg/dL) at the Start of TCZ Treatment and HAQ-DI (0-3) at Month 6
기간: Baseline and Month 6
|
The test for CRP is laboratory measurement for evaluation of an acute phase reactant of inflammation through the use of an ultrasensitive assay.
A decrease in level of CRP indicates reduction in inflammation and therefore improvement.
HAQ-DI is a questionnaire that measures functional status (disability) and health-related QoL.
It measures the participant's ability to perform everyday tasks.
The index consists of 20 questions regarding the function of the upper and lower extremities.
These questions are summarized in 8 categories: dressing and grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip and common activities over past week.
Each question was evaluated according to the degree of severity on a 4-point scale ranging from 0 = without any difficulty to 3 = unable to do.
Total score is average of all questions, which ranges from 0 to 3, where higher scores represent higher disease activity.
The Pearson and Spearman correlation coefficients can range in value from -1 to +1.
