Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Unexpected AEs, Unexpected SAEs, Unexpected ADRs and Unexpected SADRsFrom first dose for Xeljanz to 28 days after last dose (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a medicinal or nutritional product (including pediatric formulas) without regard to possibility of a causal relationship with product treatment or usage. SAE was any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in death; was life-threatening; required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of hospitalization; resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. An ADR was any untoward medical occurrence attributed to Xeljanz in a participant who received Xeljanz. SADR was any SAE that is attributed to Xeljanz. Relatedness to Xeljanz was assessed by the physician. An unexpected AE was an AE with a difference in nature, severity, specificity, or outcome, compared to the product licensure/safety notification of the drug. Unexpected ADRs were unexpected AEs that were, in the investigator's opinion, of causal relationship to the study treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in DAS28 (ESR)From Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

DAS28 is a modified version of the original Disease Activity Score (DAS). It is a quantitative measure of disease activity used to monitor the treatment or RA. DAS28 (erythrocyte sedimentation rate \[ESR\]) was calculated from: DAS28 (ESR) = 0.56\*√(tender joint counter \[TJC\] 28) + 0.28\*√(swollen joint count \[SJC\] 28) + 0.014\*VAS+ 0.70\*ln(ESR), where VAS = visual analogue scale. Total score range: 0-9.4, higher score=more disease activity.

Number of Participants With EULAR ResponseFrom Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) response is a DAS-based response criteria that classifies individual participants as none, moderate, or good responders, depending on the extent of change and the level of disease activity reached. Participants with improvement in DAS28 from baseline \>1.2 and DAS28 based EULAR \<=3.2 were good responders; participants with improvement in DAS28 from baseline \>0.6 and \<=1.2 and DAS28 based EULAR \>3.2 and \<=5.1 were moderate responders; participants with improvement in DAS28 from baseline \<=0.6 and DAS28-based EULAR \>5.1 were none responders.

Change From Baseline in DAS28 (CRP)From Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

DAS28 is a modified version of the original Disease Activity Score (DAS). It is a quantitative measure of disease activity used to monitor the treatment or RA. DAS28-3 ( C-reactive protein \[CRP\]) was calculated from the swollen joint count (SJC) and tender joint count (TJC) using the 28 joints count and CRP (mg/L). Total score range: 0 to 9.4, higher score indicated more disease activity.

Number of Participants With Effectiveness by Demographic CharacteristicsFrom Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

The variables included DAS28, EULAR response, and ACR20 response. The investigator made the assessment of the overall effectiveness as improved, no change, or aggravated, based on each test results and clinical judgment.

Number of Participants With an American College of Rheumatology 20% (ACR20) Response at Month 6From Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

ACR20 response: ≥20% improvement in tender joint count; ≥ 20% improvement in swollen joint count; and ≥ 20% improvement in at least 3 of 5 remaining ACR core measures: participant assessment of pain; participant global assessment of disease activity; physician global assessment of disease activity; self-assessed disability (disability index of the Health Assessment Questionnaire \[HAQ\]); and CRP.

Number of Participants With EffectivenessFrom Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

The variables included DAS28, EULAR response, and ACR20 response. The investigator made the assessment of the overall effectiveness as improved, no change, or aggravated, based on each test results and clinical judgment. No change and aggravated were classified as ineffective.

Number of Participants With Improved Effectiveness - Multivariate Logistic Regression AnalysisFrom Baseline to 6 months after treatment (through study completion, up to approximately 6 years)

The variables included DAS28, EULAR response, and ACR20 response. The investigator made the assessment of the overall effectiveness as improved, no change, or aggravated, based on each test results and clinical judgment. Logistic regression analysis of multivariate analysis was performed and presented as odds ratios with 95% confidence interval to identify the factors that affected classified overall assessment (effective/ineffective) in demography and baseline characteristics of the participants.
