Frailty Predicts Incident Osteoporotic Fractures in Veterans with Rheumatoid Arthritis

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is associated with an increased risk of frailty and osteoporosis, but the relationship between frailty and incident osteoporotic fractures in RA is underexplored. Methods Data were from the Veterans Affairs (VA) Rheumatoid Arthritis Registry. Frailty was measured using the VA Frailty Index (VAFI).

Factors related to seroconversion of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibody after the onset of rheumatoid arthritis: a case-control study and systematic review

Immunological Medicine
Anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (CCP) antibodies typically present before rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but appear (seroconvert) after disease onset in some patients. This study analyzed factors related to anti-CCP seroconversion.

Clinical utility of anti-cyclic citrullinated peptid and rheumatoid factor in chronic hepatitis B virus infection

Indian Journal of Rheumatology, 2018
Background: It is necessary to distinguish whether musculoskeletal symptoms are associated with rheumatic diseases or hepatitis virus infection. Rheumatoid factor (RF) and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide (anti-CCP) may be detected in rheumatic diseases

Clinical characteristics and concordance of anti‐MDA5 autoantibodies: A multicentre Australian study

Arthritis Care &Research, Accepted Article.
Objectives In Australia, anti‐MDA5 antibodies are exclusively tested by line immunoblot assay (LIA). The clinical concordance of a LIA‐positive anti‐MDA5 result is unclear. We aimed to describe the clinical features and determine the clinical concordance of patients with anti‐MDA5 antibodies.

Anti‐CCP Antibody, a Marker for the Early Detection of Rheumatoid Arthritis

Annals of the New York Academy of Sciences, 2008
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation of synovial joints. In most cases this will lead to the formation of pannus tissue, ultimately leading to joint destruction. Early diagnosis, coupled with aggressive use of disease‐modifying antirheumatic drugs, has been shown to have a favorable effect on ...
