CHAQ is a valid assessment of functional disability, discomfort in participants with rheumatic diseases. It comprises of three indices: Disability and Discomfort, and global assessment of arthritis (overall well-being). CHAQ-DI: as a measure of functional ability, consists of 30 questions in 8 domains: dressing/grooming, arising, eating, walking, hygiene, reach, grip, and activities-distributed, among a total of 30 items. Each question was rated on a 4-point scale of difficulty in performance ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). To calculate the overall score, the participant must have a domain score in at least 6 of the 8 domains. Scores of 8 domains were averaged to calculate the CHAQ-DI total score which ranges from 0 (no or minimal physical dysfunction) to 3 (very severe physical dysfunction), higher score indicates more disability. Change from double-blind baseline at Week 44 in DI total score is reported.

Each question was rated on a 4-point scale of difficulty in performance ranges from 0 (no difficulty) to 3 (unable to do). To calculate the overall score, the participant must have a domain score in at least 6 of the 8 domains. Scores of 8 domains were averaged to calculate the CHAQ-DI total score which ranges from 0 (no or minimal physical dysfunction) to 3 (very severe physical dysfunction), higher score indicates more disability.

Uveitis is the inflammation of the uvea. Participants were assessed for presence of uveitis (according to Standard Uveitis Nomenclature [SUN]). If Uveitis was present in participant at Baseline, it was considered as "active uveitis"; If Uveitis was not present in participant at Baseline, it was considered as "Inactive uveitis". As per SUN, Uveitis is defined as: anterior (in which anterior chamber is primary site of inflammation); intermediate (primary site of inflammation: vitreous); posterior (primary site of inflammation: retina or choroid). Percentage of participants with active uveitis (of any type) are reported.

Participants with enthesitis-related arthritis (ERA) undergo Tender entheseal assessment. Tender entheseal assessment: Entheses were assessed and coded as: 1= any tenderness, 0= no tenderness, NE= not evaluable. Total number of tender entheses: 66*(total number of tender entheses with counts > 0)/number of non-missing tender entheses. If > 33 tender entheseal counts were missing, total number of tender entheses was defined as missing.

Participants with ERA undergo Modified Schober's Test. In the Modified Schober's Test, a mark was placed 5 cm below the midpoint of a line that joined the posterior superior iliac spines. Another mark was placed 10 cm above the first. The participant then bent maximally forward with the knees fully extended. The distance between the two marks was then re-measured. The full measurement between the two lines was recorded to the nearest tenth of a centimeter and is reported.

Participants with ERA undergo Overall Back Pain and Nocturnal Back Pain assessment. For Overall Back Pain, parent/legal guardian/participant were asked to provide a response to the question: What is the amount of back pain at any time that your child experienced in the past week? And For Nocturnal Back Pain: What is the amount of back pain at night that your child experienced in the past week?. Response to these questions was provided by parent/legal guardian/participant using a VAS of 0-10, where 0= No Pain and 10= Most Severe Pain, higher score indicated more severe pain.

Percentage of body surface area affected by psoriasis was estimated using the palm method. One of the participant's palm to proximal interphalangeal (PIP) and thumb =\together represented 1% of total BSA. Regions of the body were assigned specific number of palms with percentage (Head and Neck = 10% [10 palms], Upper extremities = 20% [20 palms], Trunk [axillae and groin] = 30% [30 palms], Lower extremities [buttocks] = 40% [40 palms]). The number of palms of psoriatic skin in a body region was used to determine the extent (%) to which a body region was involved with psoriasis. The total BSA affected was the summation of individual regions affected.

The PGA of psoriasis was scored on a 6-point scale, reflecting a global consideration of the erythema, induration, and scaling across all psoriatic lesions. Average erythema, induration, and scaling were scored separately over the whole body according to a 5-point severity scale (0 [no symptom] to 5 [severe symptom]). The total score was calculated as average of the 3 severity scores and rounded to the nearest whole number score to determine the PGA score and ranged as 0= no symptom to 5=severe, higher score indicates more severity.

Oral solution was given only to participants weighing <40 kg and to the participants who were unable to swallow tablets. Taste assessment was evaluated using a 5 categories questionnaire. Participants were asked to answer in one of the following categories to describe the taste of oral solution of tofacitinib: dislike very much, dislike a little, not sure, like a little and like very much. Number of participants within each category are reported.

Serious infection defined as any infection that requires hospitalization for treatment or requires parenteral antimicrobial therapy or meets other criteria that require it to be classified as a serious adverse event. Cytopenia was categorized as: lymphocyte counts: <500 lymphocytes/ millimeter^3 (mm), neutrophil counts <1000 neutrophils/mm^3, platelet counts <100,000 platelets/mm^3, any single hemoglobin value <8 grams/decilitre (g/dL) and any single hemoglobin value drops >=2 g/dL below baseline. Number of Participants With serious infections, cytopenia, malignancies and Cardiovascular Diseases are reported.

Tanner stage is a scale used to document the stage of development of puberty by assessing the secondary sexual characteristics: Pubic hair (both male and female), breast size (for females); and size of the genitalia (for males).were assessed in this study and with values in the scale ranging from: Stage 1: no hair, Stage 2: downy hair, Stage 3: Scant terminal hair, Stage 4: Terminal hair that fills the entire triangle overlying the pubic region and Stage 5: Terminal hair that extends beyond the inguinal crease onto the thigh. Tanner Stage for pubic hair at Day 1 was summarized and reported using number of participants in each stage.
