Serum anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies may predict disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis.

Abstract:

:To define the relationship between serum anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies (anti-CCP) and disease activity, and to construct a new disease activity index by using anti-CCP in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). One hundred and five RA patients were included. Disease activity based on DAS28-ESR and serum anti-CCP was measured. There was correlation between serum anti-CCP and DAS28-ESR. (R (2) = 0.71, P value < 0.01). New disease activity index was developed by replacing anti-CCP with ESR in DAS28-ESR. There was correlation between new model and DAS28-ESR. (R (2) = 0.91, P value < 0.01) The new composite index best cut-off values corresponding to DAS28-ESR values of 2.6, 3.2, and 5.1 were 3.21, 3.38, and 4.74, respectively. There was agreement between new model and DAS28-ESR for determination of patients in different disease activity categories. (Kappa = 0.71, P value < 0.01). The new disease activity index that applies serum anti-CCP may predict disease activity in RA.
