Rheumatoid Arthritis-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (RA-ILD): Methotrexate and the Extension of Lung Disease Are Associated to Prognosis
Background/Purpose:Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a severe rheumatoid arthritis manifestation with a median survival of 2.6 years. Worst survival has been associated to usual interstitial…Abstract Number: 2605 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
14-3-3η Positive Status and Higher Titres Are Associated with More Severe RA
Background/Purpose: Serum 14-3-3η is an RA diagnostic marker that is associated with radiographic progression risk. In vitro studies describe 14-3-3η's potent, dose-dependent up-regulation of factors…Abstract Number: 2625 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
SDAI 50 Is More Stringent Than the EULAR Response Measure and a Better Predictor of Low Disease State/Remission in Early Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from an Early Arthritis Cohort
Background/Purpose: To compare the sensitivity of the EULAR and SDAI50 response measures (RMs) and their impact on future response to treatment in patients with early…Abstract Number: 3253 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Predictive Value of Antibodies to Cyclic Citrullinated Peptide in Two Prospective Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Cohorts 10 Years Apart
Background/Purpose: Antibodies to cyclic citrullinated peptides (anti-CCP) associate with a more severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) disease course, and therefore have influence on therapeutic decisions. By…Abstract Number: 3254 • 2015 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
A Clinical Risk Score to Predict Functional Disability at 1 Year in an Early Rheumatoid Arthritis Inception Cohort
Background/Purpose: When diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), patients are especially concerned by the prospect of disability. Predictors of future disability may inform early decision making.…Abstract Number: 1435 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Changes in the Types and Prognoses of Infections Complicated in RA Patients during the Last 15 Years, in Japan.
[Background/Purpose ] Infliximab was introduced in 2002 as the first biological DMARD (bDMARD) in Japan. Currently, 5 TNF inhibitors, tocilizumab, and abatacept are available. Tacrolimus…Abstract Number: 454 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Specificity of Anti-Carbamylated Protein Antibodies for Rheumatoid Arthritis in a Setting of Early Arthritis
Background/Purpose Anti-carbamylated protein (anti-CarP) antibodies have been described in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and arthralgia patients [1;2] and occur in subsets of the anti-CCP2 positive and…Abstract Number: 432 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting

Background/Purpose Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common systemic connective tissue disease in the U.S. Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a frequent extra-articular manifestation of…Abstract Number: 359 • 2014 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
14-3-3η Cit:Arg Antibody Ratios: Are We Overlooking the Prognostic Utility of Citrullinated Antibodies By Only Looking at Titers?
Background/Purpose Citrullination is a post-translational modification whereby arginine (Arg) is deiminated by PAD enzymes to form citrulline (Cit). In RA, there are auto-antibodies (AAb) to…Abstract Number: L13 • 2013 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Serum 14-3-3η Marks RA Development in Arthralgia and Radiographic Progression in Early RA Patients
