Changes in GLOESS (MCPs 2\u20135) from weeks 1 to 16 were unable to predict DAS28 outcomes up to week 24. However, significant improvements in GLOESS (MCPs 2\u20135) were observed at week 12 in patients with DAS28 \u22651.2 improvement at week 24 versus those who did not achieve that clinical response. In patients achieving DAS28 \u22651.2 improvement or DAS28 \u22643.2 at week 24, changes in GLOESS (22 and 9 paired joint sets) were greater in patients who already achieved DAS28 \u22651.2 at week 12 than in those who did not.
