What Is an ANA and Why Should I Care? Strategies to Increase Understanding of Basic Rheumatologic Labs Within Medical Education
Background/Purpose: A growing availability crisis in Rheumatology requires consideration of steps and best practices that might be employed to meet high demand. Besides increasing the…Abstract Number: 1326 • ACR Convergence 2024
Which Biomarkers Indicate Imminent Progression to Inflammatory Arthritis in High Risk CCP Positive Persons?
Background/Purpose: A risk stratification model proposed a simple score using 4 biomarkers to identify those at high risk of developing inflammatory arthritis (IA) in primary…Abstract Number: 1361 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Effect of Disease Activity on Cardiovascular Risk Varies According to Rheumatoid Factor and Anticitrullinated Protein Antibody Status in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) activity associates with cardiovascular (CV) risk. Anticitrullinated protein antibodies (ACPA) were linked to higher activity and lower remission rates. Treatment responses…Abstract Number: 1388 • ACR Convergence 2024
CXC Chemokine Ligand 13 and Rheumatoid Factor as Pharmacodynamic Biomarkers for Abatacept Treatment in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Abatacept, a CTLA-4-Ig fusion protein, is widely used as a treatment for rheumatoid arthritis (RA). We conducted this study to identify novel predictive and…Abstract Number: 2210 • ACR Convergence 2024
Comparison of Dual RF and Anti-CCP Seropositive, Single Seropositive, and Seronegative RA on Radiographic Changes, Flares, and Mortality
Background/Purpose: Both RF and anti-CCP are associated with erosive disease, increased disease activity, and adverse outcomes in RA. However, there have been limited studies investigating how…Abstract Number: 2232 • ACR Convergence 2024
Anti-RA33 Autoantibodies Are Unique, Sensitive Biomarkers for the Identification of Seronegative Rheumatoid Arthritis in a U.S. Cohort
Background/Purpose: Novel autoantibodies (Ab) capable of identifying unique subgroups of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis (SN-RA) while providing specificity for RA comparable to ACPA reflects an opportunity…Abstract Number: 2238 • ACR Convergence 2024
The Effect of Inflammation on Cardiovascular Risk in Rheumatoid Arthritis Varies According to Sex and Anticitrullinated Protein Antibody Status
Background/Purpose: Disease activity associated with cardiovascular (CV) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Females with RA exhibit higher disease activity than males. Yet, males with RA…Abstract Number: 2239 • ACR Convergence 2024
Age, Seropositivity and Inflammation Determine Risk versus Benefit of Endogenous Estrogens on Coronary Atherosclerosis in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Endogenous estrogens (E) appear cardioprotective in women in the general population. Yet, proinflammatory effects were described in chronic autoimmune diseases depending on stage, cell-type…Abstract Number: 2240 • ACR Convergence 2024
Methotrexate Use Influenced the Effect of Inflammation on Cardiovascular Risk Differently in Anticitrullinated Protein Antibody Negative and Positive Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Disease activity was linked to cardiovascular (CV) risk in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Anticitrullinated protein antibody (ACPA) positivity associated with greater synovial inflammation, tumor necrosis…Abstract Number: 0033 • ACR Convergence 2024
Refined Autoantibody Profiles in RA Reveal That Primarily ACPAs Binding Non-glycine Citrulline Motifs Are Associated with Shared Epitope Alleles
Background/Purpose: Carriage of HLA-DRB1 shared epitope (SE) alleles and a history of smoking, have been identified as the most prominent risk factors for development of…Abstract Number: 2250 • ACR Convergence 2024
Cause Specific Mortality Differs in Rheumatoid Arthritis by Sex and Seropositivity
Background/Purpose: Persons with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) have an increased risk of mortality compared to the general population. Seropositivity has been shown to be associated with…Abstract Number: 0035 • ACR Convergence 2024
Anti-CCP Generation in the Female Genital Tract Is Increased During the Postpartum Period in Women Without RA
Background/Purpose: It is well established that women develop RA approximately three times more often than men. In addition, several risk factors for RA uniquely effect…Abstract Number: 0047 • ACR Convergence 2024
Asthma Is Associated with Increased Serum IgA Antibodies to Citrullinated Peptide Antigenscompared to Healthy Controlsin Discovery and Validation Cohorts
Background/Purpose: The connection between airway inflammation as seen in patients with asthma and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been suggested by previous epidemiologic studies. For instance,…Abstract Number: 0056 • ACR Convergence 2024
Association of Soluble Immune Checkpoint Proteins with the Risk of Developing RA in ACPA-positive At-risk Individuals
Background/Purpose: ACPA+ individuals without inflammatory arthritis are considered as being in an at-risk state of RA, although further factors are needed to identify individuals with…
