In the article by Kay et al in the April 2008 issue of Arthritis & Rheumatism (pages 964�975), there wereseveral errors in Tables 1 and 2, resulting from an unintentional systematic programming error pertaining toCRP units used in the DAS28-CRP calculations. In Table 1, the median (IQR) DAS28-CRP for patients in theplacebo plus MTX group, the golimumab (50 mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (50 mgevery 2 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (100 mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (100mg every 2 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (all regimens combined) plus MTX group, and the totalgroup, respectively, should have been reported as 5.8 (5.2, 6.4), 5.9 (5.5, 6.9), 5.4 (4.8, 6.7), 6.0 (5.1, 7.0), 5.7(4.8, 6.5), 5.8 (5.0, 6.6), and 5.8 (5.0, 6.6).

In Table 2, the mean � SD change from baseline in the DAS28 using CRP level in patients in the placebo plusMTX group, the golimumab (50 mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (50 mg every 2 weeks)plus MTX group, the golimumab (100 mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (100 mg every 2weeks) plus MTX group, and the golimumab (all regimens combined) plus MTX group, respectively, shouldhave been reported as �1.0 � 1.0, �2.0 � 1.3, �1.5 � 1.3, �2.0 � 1.5, �2.0 � 1.1, and �1.9 � 1.3. Themedian (IQR) change from baseline [P] in the DAS28 using CRP level should have been reported as �1.0(�1.8, �0.2), �2.0 (�2.6, �1.5) [0.003], �1.4 (�1.9, �0.7) [0.154], �2.3 (�3.5, 1.0) [0.005], �1.9 (�2.6, �1.2)[0.001], and �1.7 (�2.7, 1.0) [0.001], respectively. The number (%) of patients with a good responseaccording to the DAS28 using CRP level should have been reported as 2 (5.7), 7 (20.0), 9 (26.5), 11 (32.4),10 (29.4), and 37 (27.0), respectively. The number (%) of patients with a moderate response according to theDAS28 using CRP level should have been reported as 15 (42.9), 19 (54.3), 14 (41.2), 12 (35.3), 18 (52.9), and63 (46.0), respectively. The number (%) of patients with no response according to the DAS28 using CRP levelshould have been reported as 18 (51.4), 9 (25.7), 11 (32.4), 11 (32.4), 6 (17.6), and 37 (27.0), respectively. TheP value for the proportion of patients in the golimumab (50 mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group, thegolimumab (50 mg every 2 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (100 mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group,the golimumab (100 mg every 2 weeks) plus MTX group, and the golimumab (all regimens combined) plusMTX group, respectively, who had good or moderate response according to the DAS28 using CRP levelshould have been reported as 0.027, 0.109, 0.109, 0.003, and 0.006. The number (%) of patients achievingremission according to the DAS28 using CRP level [P] in the placebo plus MTX group, the golimumab (50 mgevery 4 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (50 mg every 2 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (100mg every 4 weeks) plus MTX group, the golimumab (100 mg every 2 weeks) plus MTX group, and thegolimumab (all regimens combined) plus MTX group, respectively, should have been reported as 0 (0.0), 4(11.4) [0.039], 5 (14.7) [0.018], 5 (14.7) [0.018], 3 (8.8) [0.072], and 17 (12.4) [0.028].
