Anti-CCP Titer and Prevalence Is Influenced By Age at Rheumatoid Arthritis Onset- Analysis Based on a Nationwide Database in Japan
Background/Purpose: Previous studies demonstrated the lower prevalence of anti-CCP antibody and rheumatoid factor (RF) in elderly-onset rheumatoid arthritis (EORA). However, anti-CCP antibody titer in EORA…Abstract Number: 504 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Clinical Significance of Multiple Autoantibody Specificities in Rheumatoid Arthritis: The Role of Anti-Citrullinated Alpha-Enolase and Anti-Interferon Inducible Protein 16 Antibodies
Background/Purpose: Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) auto-antibodies (auto-Abs) represent the current gold standard for the diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). However, growing evidence suggests that a…Abstract Number: 505 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Longitudinal Stability of the RA Biomarkers RF and ACPA in Classifying RA Subtypes over Extended Follow up
Background/Purpose: In recent years several studies suggest that first order stratification of RA should be based on the presence or absence of rheumatoid factor (RF)…Abstract Number: 506 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Relationship Between Elevations in CRP with Physical Function and Radiographic Progression over the Long-Term in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: For patients (pts) with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), quantification of radiographic progression, through measures such as modified total Sharp score (mTSS), is not routinely captured…Abstract Number: 507 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Comparison of Body Mass Index, Anti-Citrullinated Peptides Antibodies Status and Periodontal Condition in First Degree Relatives Individuals to Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Association studies in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have been focused in the pre-clinical phases of the disease in asymptomatic individuals with higher risk to develop…Abstract Number: 508 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Before Clinically Detectable Arthritis Develops, ACPA-Positive and ACPA-Negative Arthralgia Patients Have Different Symptoms
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated protein antibody (ACPA)-positive and ACPA-negative rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have different genetic risk factors and underlying biological mechanisms. Therefore, we hypothesized that patients’ characteristics…Abstract Number: 509 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Association of Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody Positivity and Titer Levels to Low Hand BMD, and the Consequence of Low Hand BMD on DAS28 (CRP) Remission in Established RA: Findings from a US Observational Cohort
Background/Purpose: Hand bone mineral density (BMD) loss is an independent predictor of radiographic joint progression,1 and a potential indicator of vertebral and non-vertebral fracture risk.2…Abstract Number: 510 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
C-Reactive Protein and Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis: Impact of Obesity and Adiposity
Background/Purpose: C-reactive protein (CRP) is used to assess disease activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and previous work suggests that adiposity also impacts CRP levels. This…Abstract Number: 511 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Complement C3 and C4 Levels and Its Correlation with Disease Activity in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
COMPLEMENT C3 AND C4 LEVELS AND ITS CORRELATION WITH DISEASE ACTIVITY IN RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PATIENTS Background/Purpose: Cytokines play a major role in the pathogenesis…Abstract Number: 512 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Cyclic Citrullinated Protein Antibody (ACPA) Positivity in General Population and Follow-up Results for ACPA Positive Persons
