Table 5 Linear regression models for the association between global DNA methylation before MTX and ΔDAS28 over 3 months stratified by treatment group

From: Higher baseline global leukocyte DNA methylation is associated with MTX non-response in early RA patients

Therapy N B (SE) β p
MTX 36 2.06 (1.12) 0.29 0.074
MTX + corticosteroids 48 1.51 (1.08) 0.18 0.172
MTX + SSZ + HCQ + corticosteroids 97 1.12 (0.81) 0.11 0.173
  1. Associations were adjusted for baseline DAS28, baseline erythrocyte folate, and BMI. MTX methotrexate, SSZ sulfasalazine, HCQ hydroxychloroquine, B beta coefficient, SE standard error, β standardized beta coefficient. p < 0.05 was considered significant
