Comparison of DAS28 response to changes in ESR and CRP. Each left column: patients who improved in DAS28 after 12 month (T4 < T0); each middle column: patients with equal values (T4 = T0) and each right column: patients who worsened in DAS28 after 12 month (T4 > T0). Green coloured sections: improvement in ESR or CRP; yellow coloured sections: equal values; red coloured sections: worsening in ESR or CRP
