The chosen OA treatment modality was titrated optimally based on reduction of REI. Patients not reaching\u2009&gt;\u200950% reduction of REI from baseline were classified as non-responders. Statistical analyses were conducted using Student\u2019s t-test and Pearson\u2019s chi-squared test to assess differences in baseline variables between responders and non-responders, and logistic regression analyses were performed to investigate variables associated with not responding to OA treatment.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Overall, 63.2% (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200936) of the patients were responders to OA treatment following titration.
