Presence and Significance of Anti-CCP Antibody in Patients with Interstitial Lung Disease with and without Clinically Apparent Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Interstitial lung disease (ILD) can be idiopathic or associated with underlying etiologies including rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The purpose of this study is to determine…Abstract Number: 1377 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Titers and the Prevalence of Interstitial Lung Disease in Patients with and without Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by a symmetric, destructive polyarthritis. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is an extra-articular manifestation that…Abstract Number: 1039 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interleukin-20 Is Triggered By TLR Ligands and Associates with Rheumatoid Arthritis Disease Activity
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by persistent synovial inflammation and subsequent joint damage with systemic manifestations. Interleukin-20 (IL-20) has been…Abstract Number: 388 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Soluble TREM-1 Is a Biomarker of Anti-CCP-Positive, DMARD-Naive Early Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose : Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) is a cell-surface receptor, expressed mainly on monocytes and neutrophils and involved in amplification of the inflammatory…Abstract Number: 380 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
In Palindromic Rheumatism, Older Age, Shorter Interval Between Attacks and Positive Anti-CCP Antibodies May Predict Progression to RA
Background/Purpose Palindromic rheumatism (PR) is a clinical syndrome characterised by episodes of joint swelling that settle spontaneously. A proportion of patients with PR progress and…Abstract Number: 371 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Impact of Missing Anti-Citrullinated Protein Antibody (ACPA) on Outcomes in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: From the Canadian Early Arthritis Cohort
Background/Purpose: The impact of missing ACPA in early inflammatory arthritis patients was studied to determine if failure to perform ACPA testing could cause a care…Abstract Number: 124 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ultrasound Power Doppler Findings in the Wrists and Hands Joints of Anti-CCP Antibody Positive Individuals with Non-Specific Musculoskeletal Symptoms and the Development of Inflammatory Arthritis
Background/Purpose The use of musculoskeletal ultrasound is increasing in rheumatology practice. Recently we have shown that use of power Doppler signal (PD) on ultrasound in…Abstract Number: 2412 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Anti-CCP Antibodies and Increased Cartilage Turnover In Patients Developing Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Autoantibodies may be detected years before the onset of rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We have previously shown that levels of Cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP),…Abstract Number: 2278 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Ordering Of Serologic Markers Of Rheumatoid Arthritis Among Primary Care and Subspecialty Providers: Under-Utilization Of Anti-Citrullinated Peptide Antibody Tests By Non-Rheumatologists
Background/Purpose: Anti-citrullinated peptide antibodies (ACPA) are more specific and have a superior positive predictive value for diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) compared to RF. The…
