Brief Summary

The clinical response rates at 8 weeks were 74.0% in total, and 73.2% and 74.7% in the anti-TNF and TAC groups. Among the total cases, male sex was responded to the treatment. In the TAC group, high CRP increased the odds of treatment response. The male sex increased the odds of effectiveness only in the TNF group. TAC rather than anti-TNF therapy was an independent risk factor for relapse. A higher Mayo score at 8 weeks also significantly increased the risk for relapse in all cases.
