Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Impact of Adherence on Flares as Assessed by Rheumatoid Arthritis Flare Questionnaire (RA-FQ) Score at 6 Month6 Month

Impact of adherence on flares will be assessed by RA-FQ score or the answer to question 7 of the RA-FQ (Are you having a flare?) at 6 month in participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance". RA-FQ is 10 point scale for questions 1 to 5, with score range from 0 to 10, where higher score indicates worse outcome and having option 'Yes' and 'No' for question 6 and 7. The RA-FQ total score is calculated as the sum of responses for items 1-5 (maximum 50). Higher score indicates worst outcome.

Impact of Adherence on Flares as Assessed by RA-FQ Score at 12 Month12 Month

Impact of adherence on flares will be assessed by RA-FQ score or the answer to question 7 of the RA-FQ (Are you having a flare?) at 12 month in participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance". RA-FQ is 10 point scale for questions 1 to 5, with score range from 0 to 10, where higher score indicates worse outcome and having option 'Yes' and 'No' for question 6 and 7. The RA-FQ total score is calculated as the sum of responses for items 1-5 (maximum 50). Higher score indicates worst outcome.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Adherent Participants at 6 and 12 MonthsMonths 6 and 12

Percentage of adherent participants at 6 and 12 Months will be assessed.

Number of Participants with Corticosteroid UseMonths 6 and 12

Number of participants with corticosteroid use will be assessed among participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance" at 6 and 12 months.

Predicting Factors for AdherenceMonths 6 and 12

Independent predictors of "predicted compliance" will be assessed with univariate and multivariate Cox regression analysis.

Number of Participants with any Adverse Events (AEs), Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Discontinuation of GolimumabMonths 6 and 12

Number of participants with any AEs, SAEs or discontinuation of golimumab will be assessed among participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance" at 6 and 12 months and include any such event up to the previous study visit.

Percentage of Participants with Response to Patient Support Program QuestionMonths 6 and 12

Percentage of participants with response to Patient Support Program Question (Yes/No) will be assessed among participants categorized as "low predicted compliance" vs "high predicted compliance" at 6 and 12 months.
