CDAI is the numerical sum of 4 outcome parameters: SJC and TJC (based on 28-joint assessment range from 0 to 28, higher scores meant worse condition), PtGA and PGA (score range from 0 to 10, assessed on 0-10 centimeter (cm) visual analog scale; higher scores indicated greater affection due to disease activity). CDAI total score = 0 (no disease) to 76 (severe disease), higher scores indicated worse condition. Achievement of LDA was defined by CDAI less than or equal to (\<=)10 in participants with moderate or high disease activity CDAI greater than (\>) 10 at baseline. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

Assessed based on ability of participants to perform daily activities in 8 categories: dressing, arising, eating, walking, reaching, gripping, hygiene, and carrying out daily activities. Eight items were rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3, where 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score ranged from 0 to 3, where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty, higher scores indicating worse functioning. Achievement of MCID for the HAQ was defined as decrease in minimum of 0.22 units from baseline. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

CDAI was a simplified index for assessing the disease activity comprising of the SJC, TJC, PtGA and PGA. CDAI is the numerical sum of 4 outcome parameters: SJC and TJC (based on 28-joint assessment, range from 0 to 28, higher scores meant worse condition), PtGA and PGA (score range from 0 to 10, assessed on 0-10 cm visual analog scale; higher scores indicated greater affection due to disease activity). CDAI total score = 0 (no disease) to 76 (severe disease), higher scores indicated worse condition. Achievement of LDA was defined by CDAI \<=10 in participants with moderate or high disease activity CDAI\>10 at baseline. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

Time frame: Month 12 visit post initiation of TNFis, during observation period from 06-November-2012 to 28-Feb-2021 (approximately 8.3 years); data was collected and studied from 22-January-2021 to 29-November-2021 in this study

HAQ: self-reported, valid assessment of functional disability in RA. The 20-question instrument assessed ability of participants to perform daily activities in 8 functional areas: dressing, arising, eating, walking, reaching, gripping, hygiene, and carrying out daily activities. Eight items were rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3, where 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score ranged from 0 to 3, where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty, higher scores indicating worse functioning. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

DAS28 ESR was calculated from the number of swollen joints (SJC) and painful joints (PJC) using the 28 joints count, ESR (millimeters per hour \[mm/hour\]) and participant's global assessment (PGA) of disease activity (participant rated arthritis activity assessment with transformed scores ranging 0 to 10; higher scores indicated high disease activity). DAS 28 ESR =0.56\*sqrt (PJC28) + 0.28\*sqrt (SJC28) + 0.70\*In (ESR) + 0.014\*PtGA; ln = natural logarithm, sqrt = square root of. DAS28 ESR \<= 3.2 = low disease activity, DAS28 ESR \> 3.2 and \<=5.1 = moderate and \>5.1 = high disease activity. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

Time frame: Months 6 and 12 visit(for respective arms)post initiation of Tofacitinib or TNFis,during observation period from 06-November-2012 to 28-Feb-2021(approximately 8.3 years);data was collected and studied from 22-January-2021 to 29-November-2021 in this study

Population: Eligible participants whose data were observed in this study. Here for this outcome measure analysis, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed refers to evaluable participants who were matched using propensity score method for respective reporting arms and DAS28 ESR \>3.2 at baseline.

Number of Participants Who Achieved MCID at Month 6 and 12: TNFi Monotherapy Versus TNFi Combination Therapy

MCID improvement assessed based on HAQ. HAQ: self-reported, valid assessment of functional disability in RA. Assessed based on ability of participants to perform daily activities in 8 categories: dressing, arising, eating, walking, reaching, gripping, hygiene, and carrying out daily activities. Eight items were rated on a 4-point Likert scale from 0 to 3, where 0 = without any difficulty, 1 = with some difficulty, 2 = with much difficulty, and 3 = unable to do. Overall score was computed as the sum of domain scores and divided by the number of domains answered. Total possible score ranged from 0 to 3, where 0 = least difficulty and 3 = extreme difficulty, higher scores indicating worse functioning. Achievement of MCID for the HAQ was defined as decrease in minimum of 0.22 units from baseline. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

CDAI total score = 0 (no disease) to 76 (severe disease), higher scores indicated worse condition.

Pain VAS was assessed using 100 mm horizontal line to rate pain. Score ranged from 0 mm to 100 mm; where, 0 = no pain and 100 = worst possible pain. Participants who reported VAS \<= 20 mm were categorized with mild pain and were reported in this outcome measure. Propensity score method was used for analysis of the outcome measure.

Time frame: Months 6 and 12 visit(for respective arms)post initiation of Tofacitinib or TNFis,during observation period from 06-November-2012 to 28-Feb-2021(approximately 8.3 years);data was collected and studied from 22-January-2021 to 29-November-2021 in this study

Population: Eligible participants whose data were observed in this study. Here for this outcome measure analysis, Overall Number of Participants Analyzed refers to evaluable participants who were matched using propensity score method for respective reporting arms.
